Union Workers Credit Services

That sounds a lot like one of those catalog cards. I've gotten offers from a couple of different companies from time to time, they usually call them platinum cards.

emtpixie2, beware of such offers! If possible, mark such mails as SPAM in your mailbox.

No loan company will ask for any money upfront. Besides, if such contracts exist, they should be solicited in writing with a legal basis. These companies are just making their way to run away with your money. Be careful.

That's one of those catalog/shopping cards. I get one for $7500 and I tell them I'm not interested when they call then they say will you signed up for one so? I signed up for one thinking it was a regular credit card then comes the phone call...duh how was I to know it was a shopping catalog card?

Thank you. I thought something was really wrong with that letter. I think I will call the VA Atty. General's office and report it. I'm sure nothing will come of it, but at least it will be on file.

I got one of those pre approved credit card letters in the mail I thought too that it was fishy why in the world would anyone send in $37 for this and it not even real common now enough is enough

Hi darkshadow83, good to hear that you are aware of such scams. These offers try to put people in some kind of trap so that you send some money to bag a big offer. Just ignore it!

such a spam this is. i thank god that i didn't send anything to these guys.i just got the in the mail and was blown away with the 5% interest rate. but stopped to think and decided to look them up first and locate you guys. thank you and god very much. sweetee!

Yes, I know exactly what you received, because I received the same thing and applied for it. They made me believe it was for a master card or visa. It winds up that you have to purchase the items from a catalog which are three times higher than what you could buy it for. I'm ripping mad, and I'm going to ask for my 37.00 back.

It`s a scam.Here`s the information i found in Scam alert center

Union Workers Credit Services: Local residents have recently been approached by a company called Union Workers Credit Services with a pre-approved credit offer. This letter states that a credit limit has been set and requests a check or money order for $37.00 to accept the offer. This company has received numerous complaints of fraud.

Its only a matter of time before the Federal Trade Commission will shut them down.

I was aware that this is a catalog offer but was still considering it. I was just trying to find some more info and happened to come across this first.

All those frauds will burn in hell. I myself have fallen for that crap and it blows cause it's useful money out of our pockets.[size=3][/size]

I have one in my hand right now. I too was wondering if it was a scam. I checked around in Dallas, TX and they have no legit company there by that name. I can't find it. So it must be a scam. Right to my shredder it goes. Goodbye platinum offer.

i sent them my 37 dollars after reading this i am cancelling my check

thank you so much for youe info i was desperate to get more cash for the holiday season and was tempted to send my 37 bucks to this company even though I new it was a catalog company and decided to look it up on the web and came across you guys isn't there a law that prohibits fraudulant scams like this one or is this a leigitamate offer that will eventually scam us? please reply

My husband and I are trying to get ahead , and out of the blue came this notice from Union Workers Credit Services , it souded like a DREAM come true , I got to checking it out and came accross this site , and Thank GOD for you guys and all your helpful advice on what a scam it is . Thanks again and Many Prayers . LH

Where do I find the telephone number so I can call and get my money back??

Boy I'm glad I didn't send anything either.Thanks guys,I knew there was something wrong with this picture.These people are out to get our money and if your vulnerable enough they will get you. Someone needs to put the hammer down on them.

I thank all for the information, I was also tempted to send in money for the same offer. I was a little concerned with the lack of information that followed the offer such as disclosures and a return envelope. The phone number is (214) 424-6888. Hopefully we can put a stop to this scam.

Thank God I decided to look this company up. I was about to believe that it was really real.Then the question came to my mind about being pre-approved for a $10,000 credit limit.This will help me to be more aware of those type of offers.

bull shit

bull shit

I just received that crap in the mail today. I do not remember ever filling out an application or requesting the supposed Platinum Card in my sleep! They even have the nerve to formulate the bottom portion as if it was an invoice. I wish something can be done with companies like that enjoy taking advantage of people. First the enforcement for everyone to purchase cable and satellite television - now this. Look out America because after October 1st there will be a surmountable amount of complaints against fraudulent companies like this one and Dell!

I received the same letter I think it is way of getting money from people and they want $37.00.

All you smaret, intelligent wonderful people thank you i have received this offer, I knew that these CROOKS ARE CROOKS. They are the typical american idiots who at any cost, will atempt to take your money by stealing Can any- one give information how to report this scam to the authorities ?

Thank you all again
Ruth.

This is a typical case of fraud, People who will do anything to steal your money. Tthey are a sad case of deprave nin-compoops , thieves.

I also received this information, i choose to get more info.
Y OU ALL BE CAREFUL......

I know what ur talking about. I just got one of those letters today!! Yeah I have to say, it would be nice to be able to move through life with a sudden approval for a card that gives us an unGodly amount for a limit. It get people's hopes up that have fallen in the past and are trying to pick up the pieces again. It will excite you when you start to think about how you could make purchases and make low payments again and have life move so smoothly.

This letter first excited me, then made me think about how nice it would be. Then it made me re-read it over and over just knowing there's no way! And then it pissed me off cause I know that there is someone sitting somewhere behind this letter, who can afford to make the nice letters look as professional as they do, with prepaid envelopes and all.
As we speak who ever is doing this has made a fortune to be able to print all these up and send them out. He has been funded by people like us who sink their hope into something like this and end up with nothing but a 37.00 loss. In this day and age it can be alot for someone who dreams of the ability to instantly repair their credit. And I do mean a GOD speed repair. NO my credit is not worthy in the lenders eyes of any sort. with a score of 490 theres no way anyone would allow me 10,000 to do anything. I would be blessed at this point to have a popcorn seed finananced. much less the nicer things in life at this moment.
However, If I were you I wouldnt buy into it. I have no plans to give any money to the man or people behind this letter. I can only hope that they will be caught and that not to many people will lose their money to who ever is doing this.
I just got this letter about 30 minutes ago. It kinda made me sad.

Good Day Ya'll!I just thought that it would be a great idea if I would introduce myself to everyone here & say "hi".Thanks!PS: - Anyone else here from Central America?

I got one today and even with my bifocals it was hard to read the fine print which says this is not a multi purpose credit card and can only be used when shopping in our catalogue. I am a 30 year AF vet and even through my retired officers association, the best, and very good, interest rate I have ever gotton was 9.5%. I knew right away that the 5% was total, you know what. Stay far far far away from these guys.

my husband and i recieve one of these letters weekly pitch it in the trash were it belongs

the devil is a lie the bible says to watch as well as pray i got the same letter also as you say it did sound fishy and it was fishy but God is good hes going to bring theses devils down and soon we will hear wbout it lets pray no one else doing hard times will be taken by this scam as you stated older people and the ones dont no any better but every dog got there day believe that and theres are coming watch as well as pray the devil is out there too decive first of the suckers should have left my address where it was but any thank god for being if it wasnt 4 God it would be alot of innocent people diasoppointed With much love Ms thang good looking out hit me later God Bless You AND YOURS

yes i did get the same letter saying i was pre-approved and that they asked for $59 instead of $39 boy did they do a jump. they must be CRAZY. And whats the name of the BANK if you know tell me cause i sure don't see one .OH wait a minute it say BANK AFFILIATION: NONE. anybody who bites this and don't see the RED FLAGS i feel sorry for them. these people are up to no good and should be stop and put in JAIL.

:confused:will i mess up and send 37ds do no what to do

PEOPLE, JUST READ THE FINE PRINT! The letter says," are not affiliated with," Visa or
Mastercard or UWCS. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Always read
the fine print or check them out on the web before doing anything. AND no valid card
company asks for money up front. ITS A SCAM!

Please Federal trade Commission shut these people down. I almost fell for this as I am in dire need of finanical help. Thanks everyone for the info. You saved me from more financial problems.

As the old saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is too good to be true. It is incumbent upon us to look before we leap.

I've seen several comments about how someone read this offer and thought they were saved, or this would help them "get ahead". Regardless of what our government officials try to sell us, you CANNOT borrow your way out of debt. You cannot borrow your way to prosperity.

Fend for yourself, don't agree to anything without studying it first, no matter what the circumstance. Look before you leap.

Now, I have no trouble bringing the full weight and force of the judicial system against scum like these. However, they aren't like "all american idiots". These are a few, a very few, of the rotten apples in our society.
