From: Email User RE: First Capitol Consumer Group - paid money for credit cards which were not received

I was called on two different days by First Capitol Consumer Group and was told if I paid a processing fee of $199.00 that I would receive a Visa and MasterCard from there company.

The representative named Linda told me the amounts would be $2,000.00 on one card and $2,500.00 on the other card. I was told I would receive my Cards within 10-14 days. I was giving a pin # and was told when I called to activate my account I would need to change that pin # to one of my own choosing. I have called several times and all I get is a voice mail, my call has never been returned.

Please everyone beware of this company as I am not prone to fall for these types of scams, the Rep. Linda was very persuading she was able to answer all my questions satisfactory, therefore after around a 35 minute call I gave her my checking account information.

I truly believe thisto be a fraudulent company taking money from people who could not truly afford to lose there money but was convinced they were dealing with a legitimate company.
