Among the various example scams that the US postal inspector lists, CCA fits the bill. US postal inspector's office knows about the likes of CCA already. The more complaints it gets, the better chance that something will be done. What ludricrousness to claim that complaints shouldn't be filed to the FTC for companies that it regulates. That's one of the jobs of a regulating entity -- to investigate complaints against the regulated.

Angu and anyone reading this. I am not discouraging you to do what you have to however, this company (to let you know) is FTC regulated so filing complaints with then doesn't make sense. Also, filing complaints with the postal service doesn't make sense because the company is not scamming so therefore it is not a crime to send you these letters using the postal system. Why isn't it a scam you ask? Well once again I'll tell you the company is registered as a merchant credit card company as long as they do not say otherwise or make themselves appear differently it is NOT considered a scam. Other rebuttals have been written pertaining info about the FTC regulation for this company please feel free to look for them. Last but not least, whenever you apply for something online or enter a contest online or otherise, do a survey etc. your name is automatically (unless stated otherwise) entered on a consumer listing. Any consumers can get this info and send you solicitations it is up to you to respond or not to respond.

Also encourage those who knew better than to fall victim to the scam, to report to the US Postal Inspector (https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx) if you received the unsolicited "approval" letter & so-call credit card in the mail. Even if they didn't take your money, they have your private information.
