Credit Education Group stole $300.00 even after I stopped payment on the check rip off scam con artists Henderson Nevada
This company calling themselves the Credit Education Group called me on my cell phone saying they would give me a credit card with a $5,000 spending limit. Isabella (as she called herself) said the fee was $300.00. As I have no past credit history and am looking to buy a house I had been inquiring about a credit card from different companies.
The general consensus was I would have to pay some sort of fee to receive a credit card. So what Isabella said wasn't that hard to believe. Hind sight 20/20 of course, I gave her my checking account number and a specific check number. After thinking about it I decided it wasn't a good idea. I could not reach the company or "Isabella" by any of the numbers she gave me.
They were either always busy or not a working number. So I called the bank and stopped payment on my check. On 4/11/03 $300.00 was deducted from my checking account. I have not received a letter, a card, nothing. My attempts at contacting them are still unsuccessful. This is an unbelievably huge ripoff. How can I get my money back?
