In April I was called by the Empire Advantage MasterCard Program. They said that there was a one time only start up fee for $99. I applied for the card.

I decided that I shouldn't get the card so I called the Florida National Processing Center at 8:00 in the morning and cancled. I was told that I woulndn't be charged the $99.

A few weeks later I noticed that my checking account was off with my banks records. I got a report and found that Advantage MasterCard had taken $99.

I called the national processing center and told them that I had canceled, I had never recieved the Master card and that I was charged. The lady told me that she would write a report to the executives and that I would be re-emburst.

I called back a few days later and I was told that I would have the money put back in my account on September first.

I called a couple weeks later and I was told that they didn't deal with this program anymore and that I'd have to call a number that they didn't have. They don't give their number to customers.

A few weeks later I got a letter telling my to write to Executive Council of Empire Advantage MasterCard in Santa Barbare, California.

I wrote them and I haven't heard from them yet.

I've gone through a lot of trouble being short $99. I'm getting through collage and I want my $99 back. I also, feel like they owe me more.

Try to go back to your bank to advise them it was an unauthorized debit. They will have to research it and if it has been less than 60 days you should get re-imbursed.

I am holding in my hands right now my invitation to get my own "Empire Advantage Card".... I will hold on to it and keep it with my collection of fraudulent credit offers.

I didnt know until today, after stumbling upon this web site, that I have been a 3 time victim of this type of fraudulent credit offers. Except I am out over $600 on 3 different offers over the past year.

Beware of Telmark Consumer Services, N.A.C.S and First Capital Consumers (all out of Florida).
My Empire Advatage offer looks like it is out of Bel Air, MD
Good luck......
