    While reading the board, phone rang and it was "First Financial" who told me I qualified for a Visa card.

    She then said: "do you have a checking acct?"

    DOGMAN: "Yes."

    She said: "Are you over 18?"

    DOGMAN: (I hesitated here,,, but,,, said "Yes."

    She said: "do you make $800 per month?"

    DOGMAN: "Yes."

    She said: "YOU ARE APPROVED FOR AN UNSECURED CARD WITH A LIMIT UP TO $2500."

    DOGMAN: "What bank?"

    First Financial: "We work with many banks."

    DOGMAN: " Not interested."

    She asked: "What if I told you 0% interest?"

    DOGMAN: "I carry the American Express Green Card. I don't pay interest now."

    She said: "Good bye."

    FIRST FINANCIAL - sounds like a dog scam to me.
    They freaked when I asked what bank? (Let's face it, with my Dogman name, I can smell out a dog scam from two fire
    hydrants away.)

    Hey Dog :)


    0% with no credit check? "We work with many banks"? I don't think so...

    SINCE I DON'T DO BUSINESS OVER THE PHONE, I TELL THEM TO SEND THE INFORMATION IN THE MAIL (if they have my phone number...they have my address)...BUT, I NEVER GET IT!!!!


    I was told the REAL BANKS rarely "COLD CALL" customers for business.

    Re: Lot of class you

    I got a call from First Financial right after I turned eighteen. Apparently, my college had sold all our names to several credit card companies. Being eighteen and very stupid I applied over the phone and got the card. I had them for about 3 years before I closed the account a couple of years ago. They are out of Sioux City, South Dakota. To be perfectly honest I never had a problem with them. I cancelled because my interest rate was 19.5% and that was just too high.
