Superior Benefits $299 for $2000 credit limit Toronto Canada/Nationwide
We recieved a call from superior benefits a couple of weeks ago stating that we could get a mastercard with a $2000 limit. We were told that in order to recieve the card that we would have to pay a one time fee of $299. They stated that we would recieve the card in 15 to 20 days after the payment was taken from our checking account. We were unable to pay the money right away and told them to take it out on Dec.1st. They told us that the credit card was a mastercard issued from Bank of America.
I had a gut feeling about the whole situation, and told my husband to contact them! I remember hearing something awhile back about telemarketing scams from canada, and just felt weird about the whole situation. This morning we checked our checking account and the $299 charge was a pending transaction in our bank account. We tried to contact the company to make sure our card was going to be sent, and the number we were given was a customer service number that said that they do not open untill 10:00 a.m. So we decided to look up superior benefits on the net. We came across this website and found numerous entry's about superior bank and how it was a scam. We thankfully got in touch with our bank and was able to stop payment on the transaction. Tommorrow we will be going to close out our checking account and open a new one. I also am going to make reports to our local attorney general, and better business bureau! I might even see what the media can do here if anything! I feel bad about the other people that were not as fortunate as I was on being able to stop it before they actually took the money. This just goes to show that if something sounds to good to be true it probally is. The company that was trying to take the money out of my account was ACH. BEWARE!!! These people obviously are preying on people with poor credit history and people that have recently filed bankruptcy! They are scum! Although we got the payment stopped...These people still have all of my info including my ss# which scares me to death. I will be doing all that I can to make sure that this doesn't happen to others in the future!

Luckily I felt funny about this to after giving out my account information and I to found the scam on this site.I first contacted the cusomer service center and told them to cancel the card and the debit.Second I went to my bank and signed papers to stop the debit from my account,which cost me $12.00.I came home and recalled the service center,except I called the second number and asked to have them check when I was set to have the amount debited.I was told the date we arranged.I told them once again that I wanted this canceled and that I had called before and was told it was,but they have informed me it was still set,but this time I had a local police officer on the other line and went on to explain to customer service rep. it was being monitored and witnessed and had the officier let them know he was in fact on the line.I also asked how he could work for a company that was frauding hard working people out of money,and he denied knowing this was happening.I told him to use his computer to look up this site,an hour later my phone rang and it was him,he appoligized for what had happened and he had quit.Uncertain if the call was ligite,I called the second number,which was the one I was actually given,this time it was reported to me there was no debit date set,it showed as canceled.I am still closing down my account and opening a new one as soon as my social security is transferred in.Ty
