Anyone heard of these guys? I just got a pre-approved credit offer and I think it's a scam but unsure, tried ripoff.com and their search engine isn't working right, right now(keeps telling me to try back in 2-3 minutes) I'm not sure I want to accept the offer even if not a scam, but would like to know for sure, and let others know also if it is a scam.


The fee is $37, fully refundable, which makes me think SCAM, and although they are using the Union Workers Credit Services, there is no mention of being a credit union.

Like I said in my first I wanted to know if it was a scam and let others know also. I definately do not need any more debt right now, I'm working on my pdl's and looking forward to being extremely broke this month in hopes of catching up after the bad month I had last month. I'm working up to putting my story out there for others and will do so in the next couple days, but the end of the pdl tunnel is near (I hope) Thanks Missy for the excellent info you provided.

no it's NOT a scam. the letter states it is NOT a visa or mastercard and that you can only use it for their company catalog and the $37 fee goes toward your first purchase. most people who says its a scam just didnt read the letter correctly. and for the people who say theres no contact info, there is an address, an email address, a fax & telephone number to speak to a representative, which i had done plenty of times for my credit line with them for questions. maybe people should read their mail and offers more closely

Yes I received a letter and mailed a personal check which UWCS kept sending the check through my bank until it cleared. Meanwhile I was denied credit by the three credit orgs due to bad credit. Now I can't get in touch with anybody from UWCS and I want my money back if they are not going to give me a card. Can anyone reply?
