Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Well I was the stupid one or at least desperate enough to believe but don't you all.

They promised a credit card with 2500.00 credit limit and what I got was a CD for debt consolidation and a bunch of credit card applications. According to their literature, I would have to be turned down by 3 companies in order to get my money back. What a crock!!!!

Well I began the day after I got this stuff in the mail. The telephone number that first used is on the East Coast so naturally I couldn't call the day I received the package, they were already closed. I then tried the next morning and held for about 15 minutes the first time. At this point I was really getting angry. I should have known something was up when I called a week after they took the money out of my account and they explained it would be 15 business days from the day that they got their money before I would receive the card.

Well the lady that I talked to on the east coast gave me another number to call so I called this number. They said that they had our conversation taped when I accepted their service and they could have the tape there in 4 hours. I gave them telephone numbers requesting a call back. From there they strung me along for 3 more days.

After reading the information here, it hasn't been 60 days since the transaction so I'm going to try to get my bank to reverse the transaction. I've already e-mailed them and hopefully, they'll reverse the charge.

Thank God for you guys! If I hadn't of happened on your site, it might have been way too late.

And by the way...I do have lousy credit but you know, just because I have lousy credit doesn't make me a bad person. It also shouldn't set me up to be ripped off. So all you do gooders out there that have perfect credit, just remember, stuff happens and you never know when it could happen to you.

Just wanted to update my report and state that I did get my money back. It costed $25.00 to get my bank to put a stop payment against the withdrawl but they were great. They didn't question as to why I was pulled in by this scam or anything, they were very helpful, and I got my money back within 2 business days. If you've been ripped off by this company don't stand for it! Report these guys to every agency that handles complaints of this nature. Contact your bank, contact the Attorney General, contact the Better Business Bureau, and then (I know it's a bit embarrasing to admit that you were scammed) but make sure all of your friends and acquaintences know what happened. This way, maybe they won't fall victim to the same scam. Thank You Rip-Off.Com! I wouldn't have known what to do without you guys and you helped me get my money back! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I sent an e-mail to my bank, the attorney general of the state of Nevada, and to the police department. At this point, I'm two strikes down. The bank got in touch with me and said that since this was a preauthorized transaction on my bank account, that I would need to get in touch with the company that made the transaction and go through them. Of course the bank couldn't tell me anything but First Choice Tel Pay for the ACH so I don't know where to go from here. The police department sent me a note back stating that I had just learned a $296.00 lesson in telemarketing and that unless I taped the conversation or had written documentation I couldn't prove they misrepresented themselves. I sent notes back to the Bank stating that I should be able to get a refund through the bank due to the fact that it's been less than 60 days since the transaction went through and that they got my authorization under false pretenses. I also sent a note back to the PD stating my husband and sister-n-law heard the pitch they were selling and that this Web site is full of complaints on this company saying exactly the same things I've said that they pulled. I hope they can do something. I'll keep this updated.
