Freedom First National Bank/Freedomgoldclub in Ft.Lauderdale FL
Complaint 238621 Details

Dear Sir/Madam

I think I was caught in a scan from a bank in Florida named Freedom First National Bank ,Member of the FDIC. Their web site is
www.freedomgoldclub.com.which they told me was the name of the Processing Center located in Fort. Lauderdale. I was sent an application in the mail with a deadline of April 29th offering me a $4500 secured visa card, if I paid the sum of $900, or $500 for a $1500 credit card and also a a Gift card from BP gas in the amounts of $250 or $100 respectively. Unfortunately I opted for the larger amount and sent them the little savings which I was hoping to move to NC and seeing that this offer came along, I was happy as it would help me to make my move. When I sent them the Money Order, I had it certified to make sure it was received by someone. After not hearing from for a week and not receiving a copy that the mail was delivered, I called the company 8 days after which was on the 29th of April and I spoke to a man by the name of Walter who assured me that they received the money and the card was in process. I then waited and called back of 5/2 and was again assured by another Walter that the card was in process, and I could call back any time if I did not receive anything as the card and the PIN number would be mailed separately as anyone could get get ahold of it and they did not want that to happen.
Well today May 10th I decided to call again only to hear a voice saying to call back during business hours which was 8-5. The time I called was about 1:35pm. I was soooo flabbergasted that I called the number 3 times to make sure I did not make a mistake. Finally I then went to the so called web site and it was nowhere to be found on the computer. And before I had been on the web site several times to check it out and it was there. so in no way I would have thought that this was a Scam.I mailed the money to meet the deadline of April 29th. I mailed it on 4/22

Please help me if you can, I will greatly appreciated.

P.S. I checked with the bank today and unfortunately the money order was already cashed
