Complaint Review: Consumer First ack Capital First Peoples First

Received by mail, standard business envelope, green and white certificate-like insert offering me a Platinum Card with a $5k limit, 0% APR 1st yr. To recieve card you had to return signed "certificate" w/$45 standard processing & delivery; $49 RUSH. Very authentic looking offer, but I've always been a skeptic. Did a web search for the company, and here I am.

Mainly wanted to inform viewers and/or bad business Bureau of similarity to several other companies listed on this site (see business name aka's). Or are there really that many different scammers?

SAME DAY I received a post card size "Credit Approval Notification" from a company called:

American Credit Solutions
4618 N. Hale Ave, Ste 102
Tampa, FL 33614
888-817-4795 (activation center)

Again, very professionally done. Platinum, unsecured, approved $4k limit Activation Ctr office hrs, even fine print stating "Must have a current checking acccount and be at least 18 yrs of age. Also gave a bar code and Confirmation No. to give when you called to activate. I actually called these guys, asked too many questions, gave them personal information including bank name, but stopped short of giving them my SS# and checking account no.

After viewing this site, I've patted myself on the back once or twice. But I still wonder if I might have given them enough information to use against me. Will notify bank to watch for any new or unusual debit/credit card transactions. (Again, I did NOT reveal my SS# or checking acct#, but DID give my name, address, bank name, address.)

THANK YOU RIP OFF REPORT for making this sort of information so easily available!!
