What Is An Offshore Unsecured Credit Card?
An offshore unsecured credit card is considered a scam, so watch out. These “companies” say that they will give you a non-US unsecured card to help re-establish credit for people who have a less then stellar credit past. They lure you with an automatic line of credit and a sense on instant gratification. They make you pay an initial start-up or membership fee, which inevitably goes into their pockets while you never receive a credit card. Or, they will take down all of your “private” information and use it to open up credit cards in the United States under your name and run your credit into the ground without your knowledge. So now you have to prove that you were involved in credit card fraud while trying to clear your name, which could take months or years. To play it safe, stick with companies that you know are reputable and always make the contact first, never give information to someone who contacts you.
