Credit Education Group $299 ripoff con artist fake ripoff NORTH LITTLE ROCK Arkansas
I got a call today by a man named Jonathan Knight. He told me I was approved for a Visa credit card. I thought that would be great. He went on to say "there is no annual fee, 0% interest for six months, 9% lifetime after that. For a $2500 credit limit this sounded great.
All this for a $299 insurance fee. So I agreed to everything. I gave him all my banking info. and confirmed it with a man called Ricky. He gave me this customer service# 1-866-310-0695.
As soon as I hung up the phone I did a google search on this company and wound up here. (THANK GOD) After reading a few testimonials I knew that I've been dooped. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
I immediately called the bank, put a Stop Payment on the transaction ($15) And tommorrow will close this account. I have about 500 checks that will be useless now. I feel so foolish, but know that I am not alone.
Oh, one more thing, as I was reading, a gal named Molly called from the SAME company with a better offer. Then I knew for sure this was a major scam.

Please visit the website of the AR Attorney General to report this contact. There is an "AG ALERT" already on credit repair companies that you can find on the site. I do not think this bunch of scammers will last long in this state if folks would just report them. They are operating within a few miles of the State Buildings! You can file an online report at:
www.ag.state.ar.us or call toll-free 1-800-482-8982. They won't stop scamming until you start reporting. Name names!
