Hey guys, I found this ironic. I was looking through my local newspaper and found an article about scams. Guess who was first on the list??? SECRETCASHCARD.COM I never thought that something like this would happen to other ppl in my town besides me...

That company scammed me and I still can not figure out how they got my new banking info. Luckily, they did refund my money.

About 10 years ago when I got badly into debt I believed those ad's in the paper at where they can help you get a loan if you sent them a hundred bucks. I think I tried out two companies and I never got the loan or any of the things they promised me.
I am a complete sceptic now on those things and I can say that I will never work with any financing company that it's a banking instituation or one widely well known.

SecretCash doesn't offer loans, they say they are a "debit card" for internet purchases, you load you account and your purchases are supposed to be untracable, as if you were using cash. That is why they call themselves "Secret Cash Card". It can only be used on the internet for purchases and if you load it, but these crooks somehow get into innocent people's accounts and charge their upfront fee for this service. Which I can only imagine only unscrupulous people use, because if you are purchasing something, why would you need to hide the purchase unless it is illegal to begin with?

These companies will put their advertisements everywhere. One has to do their homework and research the companies properly before falling in for any kind of scam. It's good that the crooks are getting exposed while they advertise.
