    The organisation behind this certainly is employing some sharp practices. They obviously feel they have to disguise what they are truly offering. This card is being marketed on the Internet as helping you rebuild your credit rating when in-fact it is nothing like this.

    Some of their ad banner advertising encourages you to provide personal details including your current debit/credit card on the basis of registering when in fact you are signing up for their service.

    You will find their charges in the terms and conditions but firstly the link is normally well hidden and secondly there is nothing to alert you fully when you provide the information what you are doing.

    Is it no surprise that they are praying on the vulnerable.

    As a matter of course if it sound too good to be true just goggle them to see what others think. You'll soon get the full picture.
