How do I get my money back

[tashtash]

What is the name of your state? connecticut

In November, a credit card company called me telling me that for me to get a credit card I had to send them $221.00. Due to the fact that they also told me that I was turned down by the real credit card company, I gave them access to my account. I called them back to find out what that money was really for and I asked them for a refund. I did all they asked me to. Every time I call they give me the run around telling me my money has been sent but nothing ever comes. All I needed was credit for something else.

Please help.

'Scam alert' is going off full blast!!
Unless this is a very well known creditor (and maybe even if it is), you may be a victim of a scam.

1) Contact your bank immediately and put a stop to any and all 'auto-debits'. This company could be attacking your account as we speak.
2) Try to contact the company that 'sold' you on this (what I assume to be) 'secured credit card'. Do it in writing (fax or certified RRR mail). Demand a full refund or your secured card IMMEDIATELY!
3) Also, I suggest you get copies of your credit history to see what other (if any) actions these folks might have done 'on your behalf'.

wow

I am going to have my bank change my account number tomorrow.

They haven't with drawn any money since but better to be safe then sorry again. Ever since this occurrance i watch my bank statements every day or every other day. I guess that was indeed a scam because I didnt' even get a credit card. opp well.

i have heard of scams over the net but by phone wow...

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way. I don't even waste time anwsering the phone anymore i just hang up on their customer service reps.... tsk

Thanks you guys...
