This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

well it all started this morning when i recieved a phone call from usgoldline.com. though they never mentioned who they were at first. I thought i was talking to someone about a loan i applied for. when she finally tells me who she really was i told her to cancel, that i did not want their services. well she preceeds to tell me it was told late that i was going to be charged for something i did not authorize, and do not want. now they keep calling me every 5 minutes harrassing me, and i cannot answer my cell phone at work.

well I was contacted by someone from this company, whom played themselves on being a bank. we have been waiting on word from a house loan we had applied for, and i thought i was talking to someone regarding this loan. when i found out who they really were i told them i wanted to cancel it, that i didn't want it, they told me it was too late, that they were going to charge me for something i did not authorize.

On 2/12/08 I received a call From Angela Justice (Station 12) telling me how if I just deposit $250 (2 payments) on a credit card, that I can use, I can improve my credit. She sold it well by telling me that she did all of her christmas shopping with her card. If your credit stayed on good standing you could increase your limit every 3-6 months. She stated that they report to Trans Union every 30 days which I believed was good to rebuild credit. The good selling point was the 5/$50 vouchers that you receive to use toward your first payments which actually made you not putting any of your money on the card. I went online to place an order and was told that the merchandise I wanted was not covered by the card (with my money on it) and I would need to make a deposit with another form of payment. I spoke with Josiah on 3/25 and 5/15 and to tell you the truth if he spoke to his mother as rudely as he spoke to me he should have his mouth washed out. I sent a complaint e-mail to customer service with no response.

If there is any way of getting out money back, please advise smb!

Was called on the phone by this company and told they could help me get my credit together. They asked for my information told themthat i would not have the money to pay the half, which was 125 until the 30th of month. they said that all that i had to do was pay tha1 dollar that day. So they gave me this e-mail address usgoldline.com. Pulled it up and found this so i called them back to cancel the same day. Called my telephone banking today and found that they had taking the dollar fee without my consent anyway. Had to go to my bank to block them from my account. And then close it and open another one.

I have received a phone call, on my cell phone, on 6/10 and 2 calls on 6/11 and 6/12. When I answered the phone, the number disconnected. Curious, I called the number back and it connected me to a representative. She began to tell me that I was approved for a line of credit that will help improve my already bad credit. I talked to her for a little while, she explained no fees, 0% apr, etc etc. I asked if it had a visa logo or another major credit logo, she said it was for online purchases only from their site, usgoldline.com. I already confirmed my name and bank account. I did not give her my SS#. I told her that I wanted to do more research on it and would call her back if I am interested. After reading through the reviews, I am glad I did not sign up for this! I am very nervous that she is going to get into my bank account, I never authorized ANYTHING! I told her NO thanks ! I called back again and told them to remove my name and information from their systems immediately. I am calling the bank to make sure they do not get any of my money. Be ware of scams like this!

They never fully explain that this isn't a credit card that you can use any where, that it's an online catalog. They give you 250.00 in vouchers, and again don't tell you that you can only use $50.00 at a time. That they will not give you your money back.

I purchased this program from USGoldline.com and was told that I could cancel at anytime. I was also told that I would receive my money back. I tried to log on to the site several times and was unable to. When I tried customer service, noone was available. When I was finally able to get in the site wanted me to pay nearly 3/4 the value of the stuff and they would finance the 1/4. This is not what was told to me on the phone. I was told a small amount of down payment would be needed not nearly 3/4. When I cancelled my order I was told that I could not get my $250 back that they had taken out.

This company is a scam and a fraud. They tell you lies to get you in and then they take your money for nothing. This should be against the law. If I do not want the service and I cancelled in a reasonable time, I should get my money back. I do not have $250 just to through away.

I to was a dumy. i was on a survey, took the trial offer and got scamed. there were no phone numbers on the offer but i thought there would be with the trial shippment.NOT, only a web sight. when i went to bring it up, all that would come up was a picture of the bottle of colonsmartcleasner, when i clicked on the bottle it would take me to another sight. i tried several times the same thing kept happening. So there i found a phone number so i called it. they kept saying they had nothing to do with colonsmartcleasner.needless to say i was very angry.then i thought well when it comes in i would just put on it return to sender and wait for a refund. well it never happend... my bank said they couldnt do anything for thirty days from the day i sent it back. so i waited filled the dispute and waited four days for the results.. well then i get the results from my bank... NOT HAPPY my bank sends me some copys off the internet from colonsmart stating there is only one way you can receive a refund.you have to follow four steps. one of thoughs steps are they do not except Return to sender packages as a way for refund. what they dont say is that package i sent back is theirs now and you get nothing for $88.98.now it said nothing about ANY policys when i ordered the free samples.and when i got the free samples it had nothing of any policys either. so im out the money and the FAKE product(COLONSMARTCLEASNER). OH DID I MENTION YHE PRODUCT DID NOTHING... I TOOK THE SUPPOSEDLY FREE SAMPLES AND HAD NO REACTION ! if there is anyone out there that can help me get my money back.i would be very happy... oozman.com@live.com TO EVERYONE------ STAY AWAY FROM COLONSMARTCLEASNER ! THERE A RIPOFF !

This is a scam they called my cell phone and had all my info, I was not told it was not a credit card, they told me they had a credit line appvd for 2, 500.00 with 0 % interest. I declined they insisted I gave my check info, I decided it was a scam and put a stop pay on the check and they somehow got through my bank and charged me, I'm lucky my bank is reimbursing me.

I READ THE COMMENT RANDY RICHEY HAS POSTED.

RANDY WHEN A COMPANY HAS A WEB-SITE THAT SAIDS ONE THING, THEN DOES ANOTHER IS NOT INGORANCE ON A CUSTOMERS PART.

US GOLDLINE IS A DIS-HONEST COMPANY, I TRULY BELIEVE, FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAS BEEN CAUGHT IN US GOLDLINE WEB, WOULD NOT HAVE APPROVE THIS CARD IF THEY KNEW WHAT THE REAL DEAL WAS AT THAT TIME.

COMPAINES ONLINE THAT IS OFFERING ANY TYPE OF SERVICES SHOULD ELABORATE CLEARLY ON WHAT THEY ARE OFFERING, GIVE A PERSON THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AN HONEST CHOICE ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT TO GET THEIR SELF INTO.

I TRULY AGREE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE PRESENT, WHY, BECAUSE I AM PART OF THE PACK THAT HAS BEEN CONED OUT OF MY MONEY, MONEY THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO THROW AWAY, OR GIVE AWAY.

PEOPLE BE AWARE OF FALSE DEALS WITH CREDIT CARD COMPANIES, MOST ARE OUT TO GET YOU...

It seems like I'm not the only one who made a big mistake. I was trying to build my credit up after losing everything me and my family had and I feel like a fool too. I had applied for credit and was guaranteed up to $7, 500. After they took $250.00 out of my account, I didn't hear from them until recently. This USGoldline sent me a card and $250.00 in vouches.

I got the customer phone #: It's [protected]. Monday-Friday 9a.m. to 6p.m. EST. I haven't got a hold of anyone. If someone does get a hold of a representive, please e-mail.

Thanks.

I just got a phone call from them, I do not know how they get my cell phone number, I told them that I was not interested, she had all my infos, she kept on insisting and finally, she hang up on me.
But she did mention the dollar initial fee and I said NO.

I will check closely my account just in case, it is a scam! Beware

PEOPLE SHOULD REALLY PAY ATTENTION TO THEIR PHONE CONVERSATIONS. ASK WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE AND WHY WHEN CONTACTED BY PHONE FROM A BUSINESS. ITS COMMON SENSE FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION.THIS HELPS TOO, WHEN YOU ASK A QUESTION...LISTEN TO THE ANSWER INSTEAD OF HEARING WHAT YOU WANT. THEN YOU WON'T FEEL LIKE A SO CALLED "VICTIM" WHEN YOUR REALLY A VICTIM OF YOUR OWN IGNORANCE.SO BEFORE YOU GO POINTING FINGERS AT ANYBODY START BY LOOKING IN THE MIRROR BECAUSE YOU REEP WHAT YOU SOW.

Money was taken from my bank account before I was able to make a decision, yes or no and I was not given or shown information to that extent at which I would definately say a big NO! I am out of $250 and they expect to be able to take $9.90 out of my bank account each month...

They are there to cheat you any way they can. I was told the money$250 would a setup to start a me being able to get loan money to work on credit improvement as all payments are on time. Reports would go in to the credit bureau and these paymemts would show up amd show improvement to the bureau would show this as people or companies asked for informationon your credit. That was something I really needed. I wanted to purchase a house and get away from apartments. As I have recently forund out that if you canceled your membership all money paid them was non-refundable.

Why can't we start a class action law suit? I was never told that I could not use money, $7500, for purchases and pay on time and it would be reported to improve my credit. The purchase of any money used was to improve my credit upon all on time payments which is untrue. Able to get money to make purchases for items needed through them and make on time payback and reports back to improve your credit.

They have also been calling me as well when i answer they hang up so i called the people back and it was an answering service saying please hold your call is important to us, so i held thinking it was for a bill owed or something i explained to the gentleman about how i keep getting this hang up calls from there number he said i must of signed up for a credit card online, i said well what credit card are u from he told me the goldline, i said ok so what exactly is it because i dont ever remember signing up for a credit card i have too many bills as it is, he continued to explain to me that it was an online shopping site, i asked for the site he said usgoldline.com so guess what while i still had him on the phone i jumped on my computer to see what it was i was courious just like anybody would be and sure enough it brought me to a listing of websites and this site was one of them i scanned some of the comments and rudely told the guy to go f**k hisself, and that whoever is running the show really needs to get off there lazy a** and get a real job instead of stealing peoples hard earned money! I'm not a lawyer although I do know you are able to sue them for this. This is an illegal act and they were not authorized to take money out of ur account, therefore whoever this has happend to needs to get a decent lawyer and take ur bank statements and take this to court, because being they are frauds they will not get away with it, they have no proof of you authorizing this nor will they be accountable for their "store" this is a serious matter and u guys need to take this very seriously before it happens to someone else. NEVER give your account info over the computer NEVER! If anything look up the bbb and see if they are with them, but regardless nobody is that hard up on cash to put your account info over the phone or on the internet ALWAYS do it by paper mail or just DONT do it at all. Im sorry this has happened to all of you and i hope that in the near future you all are reinbursed for what these people have taken from you! God Bless Sincerly Stephanie Goldthwaite
