I spoke to Kareem, and some lady (StinkyC) that I was able to waste over an hour with. I was asking them all kinds of questions about the card, and FINALLY they said that it was not a visa or mastercard... I owe them 20 more return calls:-) MMMEEOOWWW They don'y mind holding...

After receiving the calls myself (on my cell phone), I decided to due some reseach. If ANYONE wants the accurate contact info...here it is:
Capital Financial AKA American Financial

If we all bombard this guys home phone with calls to cease and desist telemarketing calls to our numbers, he might get the hint we are serious.
Also, we all need to call the FTC to file a complaint if you are already registered on the do not call registry.

Thank you for this thread. I got this number on my cell today. I didn't call them back and now I'm glad I didn't.

Never ever ever give out your bank account/credit card info to anyone who calls you. Even if they say they are from the bank. Hang up and call the number on your card.

I was offered a credit card for $2000 by a woman named Julia Zump from this phone number. She expressed how this would let me close all my other credit cards and use this new one from American Financial. Now they have my checking account and SSN!!! They said they were going to take $200 out of my account for some $50 vouchers. The next day I started getting phone calls from 800-963-6230- This phone number just called me like 20 times and would hang up. It looks like American financial sold out my information.

I'm going to call my bank right now and try to head them off.

Definite scam.

The first time I was at work, rules are to not recieve calls. The second time the caller requested if I was "name", I only asked 'who he was'. Then he asked if I was " ... . ... " (my full name). I asked who he was; if this was an advertisement or some form of bill collector. He asked again, and I also; he did say "american financial" and then with pauses he hung up. Not a goodbye nor why he called me in response to my puzzled question. I have filed the Big B word over a month ago. I should not be getting these calls anymore. I consider American Financial a low life scam outfit with no integrity. yours truly...

I wish I learned about this thng last year.Unfortunately I fell for the scam,but it was a girl that contacted me.I approved for the 200.00 to be taken out of my accnt.3 wks later they sent a catalog and a capital financial card.I thought it would come in handy sometime so I didnt really check into it.when I wanted to get to their website I had trouble so I called.A lady answered me after the third try,I asked about their website since she really wasnt answering my ??'s and she gave me one.The strange thing is I got into that website but I had to use my capital financial card # to get in.I ordered stuff and was suppose to pay only 35%.Lucky I was busy that day and didnt finish what I was doing. I forgot about my 200.00 till this month but I couldnt get into the website and nobody is answering or returning my calls.I will keep calling till I get an answer.

They called me and I was suckered in to it. I accually ordered stuff and they where a bunch of rip off they didn't have half of the things i ordered and payed for. They sent me a bill for $100.00 over my order. I got it all straightened up with them, I thought and now they are trying to bill me for things I already payed for. What should I do.

I also just received a phone call from this number. However, I was told it was "American Financial" and they were approving me for a credit card. I was told that I had been denied credit from them in the past and now they were approving credit for me. I called him out on it and then he promptly hung up. Hopefully they won't continue calling me.

My husband recently did this as well in August. I looked at our statement and was curious about the little info that showed up. So, I called my bank and they are pursing them as am I.....So, we got scammed out of $200 put I plan to get it back....

so, i got a call today from AMERICAN FINANCIAL. they offered me a credit card with a 2000 limit. but at the beginning it was 1500, so i was a bit confused. but when the dude said 2000, i got excited and said cool, here's my info. (i'm a broke college student! ha!) so....i looked online for "american financial" and found no website. i found that fishy, so i did some research. i googled the 18882816710 number and i saw the word SCAMMED! then i thought, "what a dumbass." i might be getting ripped off right this moment typing this message. bye. good luck to y'all.

i was wondering why they recorded my voice when i gave out all the confidential information. do you guys think that this can be taken even further maybe later on in the future with future credit cards?

I just received a call from a woman named "Jodi" saying that I was approved for a credit card that I didn't apply for. She asked me about my bank,which I told her.But when she asked for my bank account and routing number, Red Flags and whistles went off. I work in the IT field at a research institute, so I am very suspicious by nature. When I asked if they minded if I looked them up on the Internet, she gave me the URL americanfinancialcard.net to look at. The site did not ease my suspicions. Needless to say. they did NOT get my financial information. To others, I say: BE VERY WARY OF GIVING OUT ANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE...IT COULD HARM YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW.

Today, I also got the same call from some lady and again from some stupid folks...they are asking me...bank account number..I told..them..I am going to call 911 and then they disappered...in a simple world...Its all !!! SCAM !!!
!!BE AWARE NEVER GIVE BANK DETAILS TO ANYONE!!

Thanks

I also fell for the scam. I wanted to use the vouchers for Christmas shopping and then just cancel but I can'y find a website...what the heck?! Does anyone know the website?

i paid the $200 and they sent me a catalog full of outdated and overpriced merchandise that i had to pratically pay for in full before recieving. i really would like to be reimbursed. i wish i had of read this website before i paid the $200. is there anywhere i can go to get my money back ?
