Complaint Review: First Capital Consumer Group

Yesterday, on April 1, 2002, I was contacted by a gentleman saying that I had been approved for a visa and mastercard totalling $4500 in unsecured credit. The only thing I had to do was have $199 automatically paid through my checking account.

I was supplied with a customer service number and membership pin number.

At this time, I did not agree to give out my checking account information, but said I would verify the offer through customer service.

Upon calling customer service, I was thrown into a voice mail system, where I could not even leave a message because the mail box was full.

Once this occurred, I started searching the web. The web is the only place my personal information could have been obtained from.

Upon searching, I came upon the Rip Off Report, and read several complaints about this company. Thanks Rip Off Report! You saved me $199!

I am writing this to give all the information about this company I have obtained so far.

There are two phone numbers I have now. 416-488-4664 & 416-488-1018. The latter of the two phone numbers connects directly with the sales person who tried to gain my account information for the automatic bank withdrawal.

I also now have two addresses for this supposed company.

30 Eglinton Ave. East
Toronto Ontario
M4C5L6

229 Genessee Street
Buffalo, NY. 14201

I hope this information will help others to avoid this alleged scam.

Final note: I called the sales person back, and asked for a web address. He seemed very unsure at this point, and said he did not know.

I have also filed an initial report to the IFCC for further investigation of this company.
