Horizon Gold

These people get you a $500 unsecured credit card!
Complaint Rating:  95 % with 82 votes
This is a good one. These people get you a $500 unsecured credit card for a one time fee of $79.95 and a monthly maintenance fee of $19.95. The card is called Horizon Gold. When you go to the web site it isn't there. When you call the phone number it's disconnected. What's a girl to do? I'd like to beat the, never mind, it's just that this whole money scam thing makes me so angry it is unbelievable. I don't get much financially anyway and to get even less is deplorable. How do you catch these people? Here one day and gone tomorrow!

Oh I just got scammed by them to. I filed a complaint with the better business bureau and canceled my membership with them.I got the card took about 20 days when it was said to be five on the card I got in the mail offering this card. When I called the first time I was told that I had 30 days to cancel but was not told it was on a prorated basis. When I got the card checked out the website all the nice products were temporarily out of stock GO FIGURE!!!! I called canceled the card requested refund like I was told I could get the first time I called in and she said yes u can get a refund but u are past that point you actually would owe us 6.00 dollars for the maintenance fee. which I have no idea why since I just received the card today. I am hoping that the BBB will be able to do something about this company and taking peoples money. If you get caught in this I would go to the Better Business Bureau's website and do a complaint about the company the more complaints the more that the BBB will step in.

Thanks to all of you for sharing your comments regarding this credit card company. I went to their website to accept their offer; all was fine, until I saw the $79.95 membership fee and $14.95 monthly maintenance fee. It is sad that credit card companies prey on people like us, who have had not so good credit. And if we are not careful, we become victimized simply because we feel the need for a credit card. I will no longer pay money to rebuild my credit. I'll just buy my time instead, and make do with financial challenges as best as I can before I accept another "shark offer" from companies like Horizon.

I agree this company is a big rip off. I too was one of there prey. Called to cancel and got the run around and was insulted by the person on the phone who kept calling me a women. I guess my voice wasn't manly enough for him. What a jerk, they need to be but out of business. I'm writing BBB today. Thanks!

I almost ordered this card. Glad I didn't.

What's really bad is the country allows this crap to happen. Fraud and scamming has been a problem for the longest time and it seems like since 2000 those things have gotten worse. Thanks to the distortion of laws and crony ism since Bush took office it's been nonstop crookedness.

I agree with everyone this is a bogus company.this company is based out of Indiana Pennsylvania. I contacted Pittsburgh since that is the closest city to them. I spoke with the consumer protection agency at 412-565-5135 to report Horizon.Well they'll send you a complaint form to fill out. I think the more people we can report them to , maybe we will get our money back and then some. Before they fall off the face of the earth. I have to hand it to Horizon there reps are trained really well as what to say & not to say. Then when you ask for a Manager they get on the line trying to fast talk you. They try to talk to toy like you are some kinda stooge.

I got these card in the mail saying to go to these website and put these pre approval number that I am approve to receive 500 dollars thats all bull. I think we should do something about them sending us things like these in the mail and when you try to go to there web site to get a number to call the dont want to put there number out, but they want us to get a credit card with them. They think that if we have bad credit that we cant get a credit card with the other credit cards company that we dont have a choice but to get one with them but that wrong we are smarter than that.

This company sent me a credit card with a 3000 dollar credit limit they wanted me to by their bullshit as stuff off of their website after they charged a fee of 79.95 and 19.95 monthly maintenance fee I want to get all of my money back how can I go about doing this? This is a bullshit as company they should not be allowed to do this to folks. I wish I had a prior warning.
BASTARDS!

If Horizon is sending thses offers through the mail, they most likely are committing mail fraud, which is a fedral offense. I suggest contacting your local post office or go to www.usps.com and see if there is a place on the web site to file complaints. The USPS ( United States Postal serivec) does NOT take these types of scams lightly and they WILL prosecute. Good luck and alwasy read the fine print.

when ever you get a card offer and it doesn't have a visa/mastercard logo or a fdic insured logo it's a scam. it's not a credit card u can use to shop in a mall with it's a card for the card company products. read the fine print people.
