Is First Plus Platinum a real credit card offer?
This is not a VISA or a MASTERCARD. It is a shopping card, or a Line of Credit to be used at one store.Be careful when enrolling, as you will find yourself signed up with additional services- ID Watchdog and VCOMM.I received an email looking like an offer for credit. My mistake in filling out the application was not reading the fine print. Next thing I knew I owed First Plus Platinum $39.95, ID Watchdog $19.95 and VComm $12.95. Very Very deceiving because it looks like a credit card, but the small print refers to purchasing merchandise.There are thousands and thousands of people who feel they were tricked and deceived. Perhaps they neglected to read the offer. The few state attorney's who are currently investigating this program have all used the word "scam"Global Gold Inc. in Las Vegas using the names First National Gold and First Plus Platinum work with ID Watchdog in Denver to build monthly memberships and revenue streams through a marketing plan that has left a number of unsuspecting people with empty bank accounts.You may certainly call this what you like, but I think the legal system will be providing the necessary terms and definitions quite soon.Global Gold, First National Gold, First Plus Platinum, First Universal PlatinumGlobal Gold aka First National Gold aka First Plus Platinum aka First Universal Platinum aka AWBC (Approvals With Bad Credit) is a total scam. This is the reason the company goes by so many different names. If you look they all have the awarecart.com in their online address. They are a Rip-Off. They make you believe you are paying $2.78 for a credit account, but they hide a bunch of hidden charges at the bottom of the page, most of the time with a size 6 or 8 font. There is not even a check box that you have seen the other add on offers. They will automatically charge you for VComm voice mail service and ID Watchdog. So check your accounts, because most likely there are charges there. These products are not even in the Terms and Conditions but hidden at the bottom of the screen, way below the submit button. I believe that all 3 of these things are actually the same company hiding behind other names. I have taken screen shots of all 4 of these sites and I have filed complaints with the BBB and FTC. I promise I will not stop fighting until I see justice for these liars. They use misleading advertising, which will be prosecuted by the FTC. If you feel like you were frauded or scammed by these guys I urge you to complain to the FTC. http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/complaint.shtm or call 1-877-382-4357, or you can also contact Raymond E. McKown, FTC Western Region, Los Angeles 310-824-4325 This scam is ran out of the Philippines by Mark Bullock,Daniel J. Sullivan both former owners of edudebtsolutions.com. Rick Crosby is the mastermind behind this outfit (RCA credit another one of his scams) all being overseen by a porn multimedia wizkid Deepak agarwal (rude.com, deecash.com these are his clean sites)Florida Limited Liability CompanyAXISPLATINUM, LLCDaniel J. Sullivandan@deedevelopments.comDeepak AgarwalCEO and PresidentContactCenter.ComCrosby, Rick [mailto:rickc@tampabay.rr.com]The "First Platinum Plus" card is not a credit card. You can only shop from their catalog and website, and only for outrageously overpriced junk. A classic ripoff.Companies like this prey on people they believe to have bad credit because they assume all people with bad credit are fools. Don't be a fool! If you need a credit card get a regular secured Visa card with no or minimal fees, and never get one with an application or initiation fee.This company doesn't tell you what the real deal is until they have got you in the door with your credit card securely charged. I luckily did not buy into the hype and spent about an hour doing some backdoor investigation myself. What I came to find is that you are given a catalog with thousands of different items to choose from, everything from watches to grandfather clocks, jewelry, shoes, household furnishings, pots and pans, and lots more. What don't they tell you? Well, to start, they don't tell you that you will have to make a deposit on each of your items before they will charge the remaining balance to your card that you have with them. And, for the unlucky few that are out there thinking that this catalog offers good prices on their items, HA! Buyer BEWARE!!! Just check out this item that I copy and pasted directly from their catalog online! I have seen similar flash drives for about $10-$20 tops. This one item alone speaks volumes for the rest of the items that I saw. This program is NOT a good deal and I hope anyone considering this company First Plus Platinum takes a few minutes to do some of the same investigation that I did. In fact, if you wanted to buy this VERY SAME flash drive online, just Google "PNY Technologies 512 Flash Drive" and you will see that you can buy this EXACT same unit for about $20 tops at many online retailers.PNY Technologies Attach Portable USB Flash DriveThis product was added to our catalog on Wednesday 08 November, 2006. $199.95 $69.98 Down payment Required$129.97 applied to your Line Of Credit!Compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1Transfers data up to 40x faster than standard USB 1.1512MB storage capacityOkay, first of all. Why is it that they are giving this offer away to anyone to fill out and be approved for? I do not think a credit card company is in their right mind when they just approve any individual for a 7,500 line of credit. So get it right, I'm mad then a mother sucker because..... first plus platinum is tricking me. I'm getting excited because it makes better sense then other companies what they offer, except that you can not shop outside of their store....NO! I wanna go straight to target, macy's, overstock.com, wetseal.com, kohls, pier 1 imports, **EBAY** and MY CAR NEEDS GAS. HELLO! So, to first plus platinum....whoever told you to go around deceiving people should've told you that ME, Shanae Bennett from Wilmington, DE is not wrapped real tight and I'm a supershopper that's knocking down your credit line you tricksters.Technically, YES!, this is a scam and fraudulent offer. First, you WILL be charged a hefty monthly membership fee (from 19.95 to 39.95USD) which amounts to a annual membership fee of just under from 240 to 480USD!!!!! I'd surely call this a rip-off and complete fraud!Secondly, you may only purchase products from First Plus. I am in the process of trying to verify what type of items are for sale through First Plus, and whether or not the prices are excessive or good.Simply, this is a SCAM preying on poor people! Avoid it at all costs! Even loan-sharking credit card companies charge fees less than First Plus, however, they usually charge outrageous interest rates (usually 25-30 percent or more!) I have not enrolled; looking for information from anyone who has.
Is Global Gold Credit a reputable company?
TopSavings.Net Answer: My original answer was deleted for this and replaced by this SPAM below promoting the company. Are they a scam? Anyone who has said they are on here have had their opinions deleted leaving me to believe this company is more or less using unethical practices, at least within our WikiAnswers. You do not delete answers that correctly respond to a question, you however can ad your own answer in ADDITION to the other's. Unless it's SPAM or against the TOS, leave the Answers on this page alone or you will face a permanent ban. My answer to this question is to check with the local BBB where the company is located to find out if they have a large complaint file.Sdresh, Supervisor - My observations on this - the complaints from contributors against this company (globalgoldcredit.com) are swiftly removed and replaced with scripts of favorable reviews. This is being done by several users and several other questions as well. This pertains to questions about First National Gold, First Plus Platinum, First Platinum. Owned by Global Gold Inc., 4894 W Lone Mountain Rd #128, Las Vegas, NV 89130, Phone 1-800-595-5110 and 702-360-0055 representing the following companies: First Plus Platinum, First World Platinum, Centennial One Platinum, AWBC Platinum, Global Gold Credit, First Platinum Continental.

The following are the links to Terms of all our affiliated third party promotional offers: Grant Connect, Vcomm300, VCommUnlimited, SmartHealth Gold, Premier Plus Member.I am working to restore answers, merge questions and I will further investigate this. You can either leave a message in the discussion area below or send me a message..This is an answer that is replacing the complaints:Global Gold offers a $7500 Line Of Credit to be used on their shopping site, much like a sears card, etc. When you sign up you pay a $2.78 processing fee for a trial membership and can then immediately begin using your Line of Credit to make purchases. If you do not wish to continue with the service after your trial membership you can just call or email customer service to cancel. If you are happy with the service, and choose to continue you will be billed a monthly membership fee. The great thing is that your entire monthly membership fee is actually credited towards your Line of Credit on any purchases you make. So as long as you use your Line of Credit, your monthly membership fee is free. In addition, when you sign up for Global Gold you also get free trials with both Vcomm, and ID Watchdog. Vcomm offers discount long distance as well as voicemail and fax delivered right to your email! And ID Watchdog is a company that protects you against Identity theft, and Monitors your credit reports for you. Both of these offers are free trials, and there is no obligation and you can cancel at any time.While Global Gold may not be for everyone, it is definitely worth checking into. I am a customer of First National Gold, which I believe is the same company. I have been very happy with the service so far. My orders are processed and shipped quickly, and the prices are good. They seem to be adding new products all the time, and when I could not find an item I wanted, I emailed them to request the item be added to the store and I received a prompt reply and within days my item appeared on the site, and I even received an email from them letting me know. I did not decide to keep the Vcomm membership as I already had a service that was similar, but I loved the ID Watchdog offer and have decided to keep it. A close relative just went through a huge ordeal after having their personal info stolen, and I do not want that to happen to me.Global Gold a Scam?Opinion #1Yes. It will charge you $50 a month and sell all your personal information to other people. Don't do it. This program also operates under First National Gold and First Plus Platinum. I hesitate to use the word "scam," but the marketing is VERY DECEPTIVE. Most people believe they are applying for a credit card as that is how the offer appears, but they are applying for a Shopping Card.Also built into the offer is ID Watchdog at $19.95 and VComm at $12.95. When you add the fee from Global Gold $39.95, your monthly fees are $72.85 a month. People signing up for this offer, are missing the fine print and finding their bank accounts somewhat short changed.Be aware that the companies in this offer are also sharing all your personal info: Name, Address, Social Security #, and Credit Card info.Be Very Careful when doing business with Global Gold | ID Watchdog | VComm.Opinion #2Global Gold is NOT a credit card, it is a scam Global Gold aka First National Gold aka First Plus Platinum aka First Universal Platinum is a total scam. They will give you a credit line to their online shopping site, but it is way overpriced, and many times they do not even ship you what you bought. This is the reason the company goes by so many different names. If you look they all have the awarecart.com in their online address. They are a Rip-Off. They make you believe you are paying $2.78 for a credit account, but they hide a bunch of hidden charges at the bottom of the page, most of the time with a size 6 or 8 font. There is not even a check box that you have seen the other add on offers. They will automatically charge you for VComm voice mail service and ID Watchdog.

I promise I will not stop fighting until I see justice for these liars. They use misleading advertising, which will be prosecuted by the FTC.
