First Approval, Paul Stevens, Benjamin Parker ripoff They took $299 out of my account and promised my credit card in 20 days or less. To date, I have not received anything but excuses as to why it is not. Fort Lee New Jersey

In September of 2003, I was approached by First Approval to receive a major master card. I was told it would be here in 20 days after they deducted $299 from my account. To date, I have not received anything from this company but a pile of excuses as to why it isn't here; i.e., they have to get a tracking number, there was a holiday that delayed the mail, it's in the mail, but have to wait for a tracking number.

I was also offered a free voice mail with their service. I did not activate this service, but a bill of $12.95 came with my phone bill for which I had to pay. I cancelled the service.

I have spoken to several different people such as Paul Stevens who initiated everything, several men and women, and I got the address of the supposed CEO; Benjamin Parker, and was told that he does not accept telephone calls.

I am pursuing the suggested means of getting a refund from this cite. Wish me luck and I hope this helps others avoid the scam.
