Imperial Consumer Services, ICS, Beneficial Client Care, North American Communication Organization, Vending Commuincations consumer fraud ripoff Mami Lakes Florida

On 11-29-02 I was contacted by a copy calling themselves ICS. They were promising me an unsercured visa or mastercard with a credit limit of 2500.00. Having fallen vicitum to this scam already once with Royal Star Benefits (report on that company as well) I let them "sell me" went threw the whole conformation process with the "independent verification service" but this time I gave them the account numbers of the checking account I was forced to close (pissed me off, I had that account for 20 years) after the royal star scam so they can try and take money from that account til the cows come home.

The reason I went threw all of this is because it is now come to my attention that there are more then just a couple of companies which are running this scam. I want to make everyone aware of all that contact me. Although, I did not receive anything from this company and really I am not a customer I must call a spade a spade.

This was found on the BBB southeast flordia site: GOVERNMENT ACTION: On February 14, 2000 the United States

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... CLICK HERE to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about consumer confidence when dealing with a business?
