Georgia’s Own Credit Union – Legit or Scam?

I came across a critical review of Georgia’s Own Credit Union on a Scam Reporting website – DirtyScam.com, titled ‘Not Very Professional’.

DirtyScam allows anonymous submission of complaints from angry consumers and victims of scams. Since the website is hosted offshore (probably in Russia or India), we take this (negative) review against Georgia’s Own Credit Union with a pinch of salt.

Here is what the review says –

Georgia’s Own Credit Union is not very professional. We used them for business but even when we use our business debit card to order from established vendors, it works once or twice and than they decline the charges out of security reasons.We have plenty of money on the accounts! They can’t seem to create lists to have approved companies that charge to our card.So we can’t order the products we need and they waste our time.So if you look for a professional CU, go look somewhere else. This is not it.
