Centric Group ripoff, fraudulent, bad customer service Las Vegas Nevada
Yes, I gave them 369.00 on Jan 8, 2005 and was suppose to get a package over 2 weeks ago, they kept saying that it was on it's way. Well Now when I call the line is always busy and if someone answers they put you on hold and them someone hangs up the phone on you. The line is constantly busy. I finally went online and found out all this negative information. I hope that someone out there stops them!

I just did a reverse search on yellowpages.com for the address where DHL told me the "travel package" originated. Whenever UPS, FedEx or DHL picks up a package, they must list the actual street address where they picked up the package. As I stated in an earlier post, the actual address is:
CCFI Inc.
2926 Lake East Drive
Las Vegas, NV 89117
(no phone number given on shipping document)
When I did a reverse search on yellowpages.com using the street address (rather that the company name) it yielded this company name for the address:
Tekmo Computer Systems
2926 Lake East Drive
Las Vegas, NV 89117
(702)258-9376
Does anyone live in Vegas that can drive by and take a look at the building to see what the actual name says on the building?

My "travel package" arrived from DHL Delivery Service (similar to UPS or FedEx). It was not a Mastercard, but rather, several travel vouchers (including a timeshare seminar offer), along with a $1,000 gift certificate to a website that contains overpriced junk. I thought maybe I could order 50-100 of something from that website and get some of my money back on eBay, but I couldn't sell the stuff on eBay for anything near what the total is that I've lost.
I asked DHL Delivery to send me the original shipping document, since it has to list a physical address where the package originated. The shipment originated at:
CCFI Inc.
2926 Lake East Dr.
Las Vegas, NV 89117
(No phone was given)
That's nowhere close to 9811 W. Charleston Blvd. Hmmmm.. Are they trying to hide???

As of today still not credit card. I keep calling them and they say in 2 more weeks, then after 2more weeeks the card doesn;t come so I call them again with the same answer. Today I got mad and told them that I wanted my money back, they said that they didn't have to because I bought a travel package and that the credit card was for free. I told them that I never asked for a travel package and they hung up on me. These people are getting away with this WHY?????????It has been going on for a long time. I contacted the BBB and they said that they were a unlicensed company and therefore they couldn't do anything to help./ I also got a different address on them.
The managers name is Ronnie Smith the address us 2851 El Camino Ave Suite 200, Las Vegas, Nev 89102 SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS TO BE ABLE TO HELP!

Centric group rip-off they will get around a stop payment

I was called by these people last month with the very same thing happening to me as many people on this website have already described. After doing a google search for the phone number they gave me, I learned of this website. Immediately I called my bank and placed a stop payment on my account in the amount of $369.00 for an electronic withdrawl.
Well, today, the 2nd of March, I checked my bank account online and saw a CHECK transaction for $369.00 with check number 38845. They created a FAKE check to get around the stop payment I put on my account. So, I went to the bank and disputed the transaction, they're going to give me a full refund, and I had to close down my account, open a new account number, and transfer all my existing funds into the new account.
Bottom line: they will get around a stop payment. If any unauthorized person(s) have your account # and routing #, the BEST thing anyone can do is to let all your checks and authorized transactions clear and change your account. You'll have to get new checks, check card, and deal with bank policies, but it's better than the alternatives. You don't want anyone to have that information and have your account vulnerable.

I called and left a message on their answering machine after hours. They called me back and said to fill out the application and I would be quarnteed my credit card with no more fees. They also said that it would take 25 days to get it and it took a month and 2 weeks just to get the package. I think that this is where alot of their problems are coming from it is taking way to long and it is appearing to be a sham. I will await my card and let you guys know if I get it or not. I was told in the beginning that I would have everything by now. the process is way to long.

I was never told anything about it being a travel club. It was suppose to be a credit card. It also has a application in it for a credit card which states that their is no quarentee that you will get one. And you have to pay charges to get these cards. This is all very deceptive we were told that we were suppose to get one with the fees that we already paid for. This is just the biggest scam and I am now in the process of trying to get my money back. It any of you have please tell me how you did it. Thanks!
