Centurian Financial Benefits ripoff Approved for $2000.00 Mastercard, When I told them that I did not have the $249.00 in my account they wanted to set a date no later than Dec 27th , 2004 for withdrawl of amount. Clearwater Florida

On December 15th, 2004 I was contacted by Centurian Financial Benefits, at around 11:43am regarding my approval on a $2000.00 credit limit Mastercard.

Having wanted to reestablish credit and actually having a company approve me based on my credit history was just what I wanted to hear.

Therefore, providing Centurian Financial Benefits my information that was requested, like my bank routing and bank account numbers, drivers license number, amd social secruity number.

By then Centurian Financial then informed me that there will be a one time activation fee of only $249.00 which will be debited from my account on which date that I provide them.

I then informed them that at this time I had just withdrew my money and the account has a balance of $0.00, with disregard to what I had to say Centurian insisted that I go deposit the amount so that this Mastercard transaction could take place.

Mind you that I had given all my lifes information! Now they have the upper hand on me! I then proceeded to explain that they could withdraw on my account on the first of January 2004, and Centurian replyed back with this offer is only until the 27th of December 2004.

I then started to feel like something was not normal here! So I then asked what company will the Mastercard come from? The answer: From all big bank! Now my stomach started turning!

So I then said to Centurian that I will have to just cancel it until another time. Now thing started to take a turn and the deadline changes from the 27th of Dec, 2004 to I will call you back in January and try again type of s**t!

Now I started to get worried about the information that I had provided this company and what they have! My social security number. I then asked Centurian whom am I speaking too and the answer was no! I will call you on Saturday the 18th of December, 2004 and hangs the phone on me.

I then went to the computer! Typed in the company name in the search engine and what did I see " Ripp-Off Scams" and what company name just so happen to be there?

"Centurian Financial Benefits, Protel Aka Nationwide Professional Teleservices" I then called my bank to insure that they block any attemps of withdrawls from this company.

And I will be opening another bank account soon, now as for my social security number! Identity theft is all that I can say. So help me God. I am in the military stationed at Ft. Sill, Ok but could be somewhere else in this world.
