These scams are ruining America. FIGHT THEM, Fight by letting the media know! Fight by letting the media KNOW ABOUT THIS SITE! You can find an extensive list of email address's. TELL THE USA! Put them on alert, so it won't happen to others. There are TWO separate posts, one for newspapers and television and radio, and another for VISA, MASTERCARD, and the FDIC, Use BOTH. This is the to find TITLED..RAPE OF AMERICA!

You wrote: " The Capital First representative said that I had applied for their credit card and my application was accepted. The company did sound reputable and beneficial to me, so I answered some questions for them." No, they definetely DID NOT sound reputable. LEGIT credit card companies NEVER call you with a "your application accepted" - they send you a letter. They never ask AGAIN the data on your application that you once submitted. They never call ANY of their consumer to verify anything. They always send letters, and ask personal data ONLY if YOU initiated the call, by calling their consumer service. HANG UP the phone if ANYBODY call you with ANY financial offer. Request the information in mail. There is no way to know WHO is the real caller (anybody can claim to be from a legit bank), and even if the offer legit, there is no way you can see all the fine print during a 5 minute long phone call. If you get the offer in mail, research the company on the net. If they do not have web page, it is a warning sign. Legit companies have nothing to hide, and can afford $70/year for a web site. Check reports here, or post your questions here. I hope you can get back ALL of your money. Because you acted fast, in less than 30 days, you have very good chance. GOOD LUCK
