OK I just got a call from Camping World located in Midway Florida. I was told that the guy that I had dealings with told her that he made it quite aware that I was getting a credit card..... WRONG!!! He never mentioned Credit card and when I told her I was only ask for two things, income and my date of birth she stated that I also had to put in my last four of my SS. We are in the process of looking for our retirement home and that opening up another credit card will hurt my credit score and possibly cost me more money. I told her if I was aware why did I call just minutes afterwards and cancel the card out in the parking lot. This a scam and I just wanted to let others know so you don't get scammed like me. I guess I not as smart as some here are making out to be.
So you put in your last 4 of your social?
I think there are two points to look at here.
1) People need to be more aware of giving info and why they are giving info.
2) I believe the OP is probably correct in the fact that the cashier more than likely did not imply that this was a credit card. The fact that the cashier was given a commission for every one he gets to sign up kind of plays into other ways that CW works (and many other businesses). We all know that they try to get you to renew your memberships when they aren't due.
