FIRST NATIONAL CREDIT RIPOFF CARD! *EDitor's Comment
I RECEIVED LETTER IN MAIL FOR A CREDIT CARD FROM FIRST NATIONAL CREDIT WITH PRE APPROVED LIMIT OF $15,000. AND A LOW INTEREST RATE. AFTER SENDING IN MY $43.00 AND WAITING A MONTH I RECEIVED'THEIR GOLD CARD ALONG WITH THEIR MERCHANDISE CATALOG. AFTER FINALLY GETTING A HOLD OF THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPT,WHICH WAS BY GOING THRU THE ORDER OPTION, AS THE OTHER CHOICES WOULD CUT YOU OFF. THELADY I TALKED TO TOLD ME THAT THE LETTER CLEARLY STATED THAT THIS CARD WAS FOR MERCHANDISE ONLY. AS I BEGGED TO DIFFER WITH HER, SHE SAID SHE WOULD CANCEL THE CARD.THIS WAS AT THE END OF DECEMBER AND AFTER TWO FOLLOWUP LETTERS I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN MY REFUND. ANY WAY YOU COULD HELP IN THIS MATTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
THANK YOU,

READ THE CERTIFICATE CAREFULLY *EDitor's Comment to this

If you people would read the certificate carefully you would notice it says nothing about VISA or MASTERCARD it says GOLD CARD. It also states that the card can be used immediately for purchases from the credit provider. This means ONLY from the credit provider not to be used as a normal credit card. I am going to send my money and get my card and purchase from them because I see it as a good way to rebuild credit. Sure you can get the stuff for half price at places like Walmart but if you dont have the money or the credit then this would be a good opportunity. READ FIRST NEXT TIME

EDitor's Comment to the above Suggestion:
TJ, how can you rebuild credit with a company that is a fraud? You have destroyed your credit and want to give advice to others? I would lay odds that you work for them.
I'd like to see a copy of the mailer you received. Most of the certificates we have collected do not have that statement you allege is on your certificate.
This is but one of many rip-off companies owned by Mahmoud Karkehabadi, whose sole purpose is to defraud consumers. This is clearly an advertising scam-Play on words, to make consumers think they are getting a Mastercard "Gold Card." In fact, we are very surprised that FNC has not been sued by First National Bank secured (Mastercard) Gold Card. Could it just be a coincidence that they are so similar. (Hint: FNC was created last.)
I wish you well in throwing your money away, but we do not recommend our consumers follow your example. You will find out, what so many of our readers have learned: that for your hard-earned cash you will receive a catalogue of overpriced junk, from which they MUST use their "credit" to make their purchases, and delivery is doubtful. Many of our reports we have received indicate that they don't even get an order.
You are simply not in touch with all your marbles. I am trying to find the exact term to describe you... Do you know what a "putz" is? and I'm not talking golf.
