Capital Benefit Suspected Scam, No Valid Contact Number, Checking Account Debit Rip-Off
We were contacted by a company called "Capital Benefit" who asked for the head of household by name. They offered him a $3,000 credit line for a $289 processing fee. They are scheduled to debit the fee directly from his checking account, but we suspect it's a fraudulent deal.
We've tried to contact the company via their toll-free number: (866) 256-9466, but are always redirected to a voice mail, even during peak business hours. He was also given a "verification #," which I fear was just for show.
We've decided to have our names taken off of all telephone solicitation lists and to refuse to listen to any company initiated telephone spills.
We're still looking for any information about this company, but so far, we've had no luck at all with online searches. If anyone has any information about this company or has had a similar experience with "Capital Benefit," please contact us.

THIS COMPANY HAS MANY AKA'S. AMERICAN BENEIFITS IS ONE OF THEM. i FOUND THEM BY THE CHICAGO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. THAT WAS WHERE THEY WERE WORKING OUT OF. THEY ARE A SCAM AND HAVE MANY NAMES AND PHONE NUMBERS. THEY TOOK MONEY FROM MY ACCOUNT ALSO. I DID GET IT BACK. NOT FROM THEM. I REALIZED MY HUSBAND GOT INTO THIS SCAM.WHEN HE WASN'T RECIEVING HIS CREDIT CARD. SO I STARTED SNOOPING. I QUICKLY SENT THE DEBIT BACK AS AN UNAUTHORIZED DEBIT. THEN I STARTED FILING COMPLAINTS. STARTING WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU THEN THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. I AM A PRETTY SMART PERSON. I DON'T LIKE TO BE CHEATED. I RECIEVED A LETTER FROM THE CHICAGO BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND A TRUSTEE. THE LETTER STATED THERE ACCOUNTS WERE FROZEN. AN INVESTIGATION WAS UNDERWAY TO STOP THESE CROOKS. IF YOU WERE HARMED YOU SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT TO AN AUTHORITY THAT CAN HELP PUT A STOP TO THESE TYPES OF CONSUMER FRAUDS. BEST WAY TO AVOID GETTING RIPPED OF. AS I TOLD MY HUSBAND!HANG UP ON THEM. IF WE WANT CREDIT WE WILL GO IN SEARCH FOR IT ON OUR OWN. DON'T EVER GIVE ANYONE YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE. MY HUSBAND LEARNED HIS LESSON FOR SURE.
