I was contacted by phone in January of this year concerning a credit card. I gave them the required information and was told that $199.00 would be taken out of my account and I would recieve a Mastercard within 6 weeks.

The $199.00 was taken out of my account on 2/19/02 and as of this date I have not recieved any correspondence from them. I have tryed to contact them but have always gotten an answering machine. I have left several messages but have not recieved a call back.

They obviously have been doing this for a while now. My question is, why are they allowed to keep doing this?

I fell for the same scam.!

I fell for the same scam. I was able to contact them but no effort on their part to return my money to me. I read a previous sugesstion and it said to contact your bank immediatly. I did so before a 30 day time period and they were able to get all my money back. I filled out a "dispute form" and had my bank stop them from further debits. This may not stop them though.

However, in the meantime I also contacted the Better Businness Bureau and filed a complaint and I also contacted our States Attorney General and filed another complaint. I did receive an online confermation but have yet received a phone call but I still plan on persuing my complaint procedures. I suggest you do the same. Maybe something will truly be done about this.

Also online you can print a form that if filled out and sent back will stop the phone soliciting. Also be aware that this does not seem to stop. I just receievd 2 peices of mail from an autoclub and a mega savers both places are connected to this credit card fraud. They planned on debiting from my account another $99 and $54.90, unless I canceled with them by the specified time. After many phone calls with a total of 8 phone numbers later, I was able to cancel. I have thus decided to close my bank account and open another. Good Luck!
