I also recieved a call twice today at work from two different people. One male the other a female stating that i was recently denied credit from some one and that i was approved for a credit card that would allow me to get cash advances and so forth. When i asked the young lady what kind of card was this she could not tell me. I then told her that i was not compfortable with giving out my finiancial information. Well later today at work i recieved another call this time from a guy asking for the same information. He even said he would give me the mailing address to their company so that i could check with the bbb. Well needless to say he never gave me that information he only gave me their bogust web address americanfinancialcard.net please be very cautious when dealing with things of this nature.

I got a call from this number and it hung up when I answered. I called back and they hung up on me again when I answered. I thought it was someone trying to verify my number for some reason, like service of process or something. So I googled it and came here. Very interesting. Well thanks to some info already posted, I dug up a little more for people at the FL Sec'y of State website. It could be helpful.

I just had these people call me about an hour ago.

I had applied for a credit card and when she said I was approved, I thought it was the legit card. She said "I was approved" which automatically made me thing this was the company I applied with.

(I never applied for a card from these people.)

But, Without thinking things through, I gave her the information.

They did the $200 thing, which didn't quite make sense, but she said it would be reimbursed..so I somehow let that slip as well. Told her I would have it October 16th.

But, then during some recording she said I had to listen to, I heard the word "catalogue" slip in there. When she got back on the phone I asked her if the card was for their merchandise only, and she said it was.

I then told I wasn't interested. She rudely said "okay" and hung up before I could say anything else.

Hopefully, they will not attempt to take the $200 from my account.

I've called my bank and they said we could put a stop payment, just in case.

I'm gonna do that today or tomorrow.

Be careful folks, these people are tricky.

I called them and told them that I was receiving calls on my cell phone, and that I didn't want to be contacted by their company any longer. They said that they removed me from the list, so we'll see. And there had better not be any money taken out of my checking account, either!

Since February 2006, Elite Recovery Service has been taking $200 from from my checking account every month because they said they would help me fix my credit. After reading some of these messages, I'm wondering, if I made the right decision. Is Elite Recovery Service real or are they just taking my money and my credit will never be fixed? Please reply before they take more of my money.

The same number had been calling me for about a week today I answered the phone and I got the same man saying the same thing about American Financial luckily I was running late for work and I was so distracted at the time I barely even registered what he said. After constantly asking questions and repeatedly telling the man that I had not applied for anything from American Financial he hung up on me; thankfully. Please make sure that you do not give these people any personal info!!!!!

1-866-538-7581. this is the number who called us and said they were American Financial (website americanfinancialcard.net)and wanted to give us a $2000 card (not a credit card). I asked the girls name and said I would call them back. I called back and got a different girl, and she said the exact same thing the other girl had said as if they read from the same script, well needless to say they gave me the run around and would not put me in touch with the original person. So as i am talking with her I am on their website reading the "terms and conditons" OMG, if that doesn't say, "I am going to bend you over and take your money", I don't know what does. She could not answer my questions clearly and stammered several times. I told them I would talk it over with my wife and hung up. So check this out, here we have them calling us first, then i called them back, got through easy enough with the same number. Now i am suspicious and they call me back and now its a man. could not get either of the first 2 operators back to talk with. They kept saying they needed to verify our checking account, needing both the acct.# and routing #. I said let me check out your website and ill do this on-line. Guess what, their web site is currently being updated, how convienient. lol!
The wife and I had recently changed financial institutions and had a checking account still "active" but no funds were in it, we had already moved the money to the new account. So I gave them the #'s to the empty account. They ask me to hold on while they verify it. Then i'm told that they are haveing problems with thier computers and would call back tomorrow and continue the verification process. As I am chuckling under my breath, my suspiscions were right. Truth be known, they verified the account right then and there, lied about thier computers messing up so as to call back tomorrow. As soon as we end our phone call, I try to contact through the same number,(the one I was able to get through so easily) and now only got a recording. Hmmmmmmm? I just left the phone on and walked away from it and 4 hours later the same recording was still playing. Hmmmmmmmmm? I call the bank and yup, they tried to get funds. Hmmmmmmmm? lol! lol! The bank did not honor it! Tried to e-mail them at thier customer service address and got a "failure to deliver" in my e-mail. Hmmmmmmmm? THE MORAL OF THE STORY. They didn't get nothing from us and I can only hope that they feel as scammed and ripped off as I would have felt had I not been suspicious. And I hope my letter here brings awareness to light and prevents alot of people from getting scammed.

I have been completely scammed with this American Financial card. I was mislead about what the services were. I called today to get a refund and they told me there was nothing I could do other than write to the Department of Consumer Affairs. I have every intention of following up with the Better Business Bureau and will go Federal if need be. I would be interested in getting a further response from anybody that has also been scammed to build a case against this company. I am also going to contact my local news "Problem Solvers" to further investigate this so called company. Please reply as i would like as much back up as possible and if there are enough of us I think we could bust this company up!!!

This man called for my husband today and wouldn't tell me his name or why he was calling. I told them that my husband was at work, and he quickly hung up. So I called their number back but they wouldn't answer. Anyways I tried again later and a man answered and said his name was "Allen", I asked him why he was calling my house, and he said that I was approved for a credit card. Well I told him that I was advised that this was a SCAM and I asked him not to call my house again. He kept trying to get my information asking if I had a bank account, I again asked him not to call anymore and I hung up. He called right back and called me a BI%CH!!!!

Good Luck to all of you.

They have been calling me constantly, and I had only had my cell phone for 2 days, when they started. I finally got a hold of a different person when I called back and asked to speak with a supervisor, and had them take my number off the list. Definitely not cool!! It just gets me the wrong way, how they have the audacity to try and fraud people. Fortunately I was able to get ahold of someone else when I called back after 2 weeks of calling back and getting hung up on. I am trying to figure out why these guys are still open!!

i have been called by this company for the last 2 weeks. the first time i talked to them the guy was asking for my checking account information. when i wouldnt give it to him and requested more information he told me to look on the website and it would give me all the info i needed. i visited the website while i was on the phone with him and could not access anything. he said i had to be a member to get info on the company and they only way to become a member was to give him my checking info. after that i asked for references and he told me to call the bbb. i told him i would contact them then call him back and he still continued to try to get my checking info. he said that i could get info after i was a member again. i told him not to contact me again and remove my name from their calling list. that was 2 weeks ago and i have been getting about 3-5 calls from them every single day since then...including sundays. everytime i answer the phone i tell them to take my name off of their calling list they get very rude and ask me why i would want to do that and say that i will change my mind one day so they will continue to call. i am so frustrated with this company right now. im about to contact the police about harassment charges. i dont know what else to do...any suggestions???

I consolidated my debts a couple of weeks ago. Then a week later I received a call from American Financial that said they were referred by the debt-considation company to help my rebuild my credit. They told my that I was approved for a $2000 credit line. They didn't tell me that it wasn't a major credit card, or that you can only make purchases thru their web site or catalog. So, I gave them my checking account and routing number and they are scheduled to take my money out on Nov 17. Well, I called this number today 1-888-281-6710, and after being put on hold for 25 minutes. I finally speak to a guy who is eating, and crunching chips in my ear, the whole freaking time he is talking to me. Well, I told him that I wanted to cancel, and he gives me the run around for about 10 minutes, then finally he gives me a cancelation # and then hangs up on me. I am going to call my bank today and put a stop to that payment, I hope it isn't to late. Don't fall for this scam, these people are rip-offs.

I think they may have a new number. I got a call on my cell phone tonight from 727-585-4762, they gave me the same story that American Financial did. I asked him how he got my number and he said that I applied for a credit card. I haven't applied for anything so I told him that I knew this was a scam and that if he called me again that I would call the police. This guy said that his company was Fidelity Credit and his name was Dwayne that are located at:

1301 Seminole BLVD Ste 128
Largo Florida 33770
U.S.A.
Phone Number:
727-596-8705


I am sure these are the same people so BEWARE of them.

I got a 2 calls today on my cell phone, the first one was from a man and the second one was from a woman. She said that I had recently been denied for credit and I have been approved for their credit card with a $2000.00 limit. Then I was asked for my account information for a 200.00 deposit. I am glad that I checked it out before I agreed to it.

I had a friend who made the mistake and said yes to the person. But when that friend didn't recieve the packgge in question she imediately called them back and told them if they took out of her account she would take further action. And also told them she had been taking all information down on all calls and correspondance with them. Notified her bank about it too. Nothing happened, no money taking out.

This is why you never give out your personal information without first chekcing out a company. You never give out your account number, social number anything to anyone over the phone, mail or online.

I received a phone call from the 800# also but got ticked off when they kept hanging up on me when I tried to ask a question. So I did an internet search on the number and ended up here. There is a way to get your money back for those of you that fell victim to these ***holes! Go to ripoffreport, it will explain what you need to do. We should all band together and keep calling them back just to screw with them for what they were trying to do to us. I've been calling them up and bugging them, everything from acting like I'm interested just long enough to get them on the hook, then tell them to go **** themselves, or I just hang up after a very other choice words. Their not answering the phone as often now, but if we all keep calling them occassionally, they'll be so busy fielding our calls they won't have as much time to rip off others.
