Be it over the phone, online, by mail (usually a postcard) never ever give out ur account info..u don't need to pay to be able to get a credit card. Applications are usually free of charge unless there is a processing fee in which case it would usually be a bank like capital one... I was once a telemarketer myself calling people up with bad credit offering them a credit card, only catch is they would have to pay 149$ or more..But all they got in the mail was junk...you wouldnt believe how many people fell for the scam...the owner of the scam company bought himself a porsch and paid cold cash for it.. No company would be able to debit your account unless u provide them with your account information. So, if you and your family are left with 5$ and 5$ only in your account then u have no one to blame but urself.. Call ur bank on monday and tell them what happened and ask them todo a chargeback..a chargeback is when they reverse it and get ur money back for you..and always be careful and never ever give any account infos to no one.
