FIRST CAPITAL CONSUMER GROUP ripoff Toronto Ontario New York
My daughter got a call from this business saying that she qualified for a credit card with a limit of $2000 for the one time payment of $199 fee to be deducted from your checking account.
Her not being used to frauds, and them calling her, with her phone number was going along with them, and she told him her checking account route number and a check number, but told him not to run it through until June 21, as her funds were not there. He gave her the phone number of 416-363-4620, and told her she could get back with him, this was on Saturday.
So, after getting to work on Monday, June 3, I did a search on computer to find out they have frauds reports on this company, also called the BBB Bureau in Mobile, AL and they also already have reports on them, dating back to 3-20-02. So, I told my daughter to be on the safe side to go ahead and stop payment on that check number, and notify the bank to not pay any checks to this company.
Seeing the reports filed by other people that have been ripped off, you will be out $199, if you don't. But, anyway hope this will help other consumers from this
fraud scheme.

I fell for this scam and I will tell you, they will stop at nothing to get hers or your money. I was lucky to get my money back due to my banks involvement but after reading from many other people this debiting has still persisited w/o their approval. She should close and open a new account immediatly. Somehow they get around the "stop-ach" and are able to debit using other means.
Even after I got my money back they and I mean Capital First sent me 2 pieces of mail stating they were going to debit my account another $99 and 54.90. They represent themselves as a Mega Saver and an Autoclub membership. They state on the mail "as per my authorization on 05/27/2002" which happens to be the day I fell for that scam. After about 8 different phone numbers I was supposdly able to cancel my membership, AGAIN?!
If she receives a packet send it back immediatly...they consider it like returning something back to Wal-Mart, they want their property back. Good luck
