Advantage Capital ripoff consumer rip-off credit card fraud Carson City Nevada
This company uses misleading tactics to get your business. They call stating that you've been approved for a credit card with a limit of $2500 and then state that if you pay a one time fee of $99.95,a MasterCard will be issued.
They drew the $99.95 from my account on 5/31/02. Then I waited. Then I called and they said it was still on temporary status and but they would rush it and issue the card. Then I could make deposits to the card (it is a pay-as-you-go card).
That was two weeks ago. Today the card arrived with a letter informing me that it is a tmeporary card. WHen the permanent card arrives I am to make my deposits and pay them $4.95 per month maintenance fee. THat's on top of the $99.95 annual fee.
I called to tell them that I was really not intrested in their bait and switch tactics. They looked up my account and Guess what!... no record of me or an account. Even though I have a card in my hand and a letter from them.
Here's what I need. My $99.95 that was withdrawn, plus the $59.95 they also took out of my account. This is a total of $159.90.
I would also like the $25.00 they withdrew on 8/14/02 returned. Have no idea why this was drwan from the account. We are now up to $184.90.

Same thing happened to me ditto. What I did was: found the Attourney General site online for my state. They have a complaint page you can fill out. You need address and phone # etc of these scammer companies. If you don't have them just read through these complaints and you can get the addresses for Ephone and this "Homeowner Protection" balogna company they gave your bank account number to. Next go to Better Business Bureau online. Do the same thing on all three companies. I am so grateful these 2 agencies exist, because within 3-4 months the money was debited back into my account. I was happily surprised. It was tough though for the 1st 3 months. Checks bounced because I had no idea this money was going to go out when I had allotted it for my regular bill payments. But DO do these 2 steps. They're really simple and I am greatful to God that he cares about us simple people and lets us get our money back. It will work for you too if you just get them where it counts. REPUTATION AND TV is the next place all these online reports go to in Ohio to protect the rest of the citizens here. To cover their butts, they give the money back. I figured all the constructive "stink" I could put on them would help either get my money back or put them on a list for the "AG" to report locally on tv in Ohio to watch for as the latest phone scam going around. Good Luck! Good Fortune! Get your victory!!! It does feel good.
