Complaint Review: First National Credit

I was sent a pre-approved credit card offer from this company which requested a payment of around $35 or $43 to expedite shipping of the card. I sent in my check for $43.00 for the express shipping - to transfer funds to this account which was supposedly preapproved for $15,000. Stupid me.

The check was cashed and cleared my account of 8/19/02 and I never received a card. I researched the company - First National Credit - and was unable to find a phone number for them and I also found the websites of previously scammed people who fell prey to the same company and same solicitation technique. Therefore, I am putting in my scam to prevent future happenings and also to safeguard my checking account in some way since I am now afraid that they may try this again using my account information.

I got the address of the company by reading the same exact stories online from previous victims. I knew it was in California, however, I could not obtain a telephone number.
