Trust Benefits HUGE RIP-OFF PHONE SOLICITED; PROMISED $2000 VISA CARD 20 BIZ DAYS; TOOK $299 FROM MY ACCT; 2 1/2 MTHS LATER REC PKG, COUPONS ETC, NO VISA Champlain New York *UPDATE .. Trust Benefits contacts Rip-off Report. REFUNDS will be given to unsatisfied customers *EDitor's UPDATE 2-20-04!
EDitor's UPDATED info 2-20-04: Rip-off Report is still receiving complaints that they are not receiving the refunds as promised. Rip-off Report has been in contact with the Company and has made them aware of these issues. They have assured us that refunds are being given to those who are providing them with all the correct contact information requested by them. They have also provided confirmation/proof of over 2,600 refunds to date, on a spreadsheet, and Rip-off Report staff called and verified more than a dozen consumers at random, all very angry & outraged, but, they all did get their refund. The company again apologized for the delay and reported that credit to your account could take as long as 4-5 days. As we understand it, this company only does the processing for all the other companies, so they are at the mercy of those companies funds, further delaying your refund.
Rip-off Report is hoping they will live up to what they have promised, we think they will, ..we'll see. Rip-off Report will continue to investigate more into this situation, and we will eventually post an UPDATE to the main Report at this web address: https://www.ripoffreport.com/view.asp?id=76605
Please be patient, we can only tell you what they are telling us.

CLICK HERE to see how Trust Benefits contacted Rip-off Report, stating they will give REFUNDS to unsatisfied customers.
THIS COMPANY IS A HUGE RIP OFF, PRETTY PACKAGE OF CONTENTS RECEIVED OF DISCOUNTS, COUPONS, NORMAL ADVERTISING "COME ON" STUFF.
NO MENTION IN PACKAGE OF THE ONLY THING THEY PITCHED ON THE PHONE; $2000 LIMIT LOW INTEREST VISA ACCOUNT, WITH NO QUALIFICATIONS.
TRIED TO ACCESS THEIR WEBSITE: WWW.MYWORLDOFBENEFITS.COM AS INDICATED ON THEIR WORTHLESS PREMIUM CARD. ACCESS DENIED ON THE WEB SITE, SO COULDN'T SEE THE OTHER BENEFITS SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE BY GOING TO THE SITE.
I AUTHORIZED MY BANK TO CHARGE BACK THE $299 PAID TO THEM AFTER WAITING 30 DAYS. ONLY RECEIVED PACKAGE FROM THEM AT ABOUT 2 1/2 MONTHS AFTER THEY CHARGED MY ACCOUNT. THEIR PROMISE WAS 15 TO 20 BUSINESS DAYS, VISA CARD WOULD BE RECEIVED. HUGE LIE!!!
