I was contacted and told that i was to receive 12,500 dollars from the government with no strings attached except for a 29.95 filing fee that would be taken from my account and all i needed to provide was my routing and account number. I felt this to be strange, but they gave me a number and tracking number to reach them at so I felt some comfort in that and gave them the number for the grant money to be deposited.
They told me that the government has billions of dollars in grant money to give back to the taxpayers and I was just overwhelmed on hearing that I was to receive this money. Also I was offered benefits which i refused because I didnt need health insurance or long distance service since I had a cell phone and health insurance. It was stupid of me to give them my account number and routing number, but I got caught up in the moment and felt that my prayers were answered for some financial relief.
Anyway I was told that I would receive a package in the mail 2 weeks later and I had to fill out some information before i could get the 12,500 grant money electronically transferred to my account. 2 weeks came by and no package, so I called back at the number given and the same lady answered and told me that the system was down when i gave her my tracking number and to call back the following Monday. Monday came and I called the number again and was told the system should be running around noon and to call back then. Ever since the second time I called I get a automated message saying all operators are busy with customers and to call back or stay on the line.
I periodically checked my account to see if the 29.95 would be deducted and sure enough it was as well as a 19.95 charge and 299.95 dollar charge and a long distance phone company called EZ-1-Rate had taken out 60.00 for service which I had refused when i talked with a First National Representative. I contacted my bank immediately and told them the situation when I found out and now I've been waiting at least three weeks for my bank to reverse the transactions, but dont have confidence that they will do so in a timely manner.
I want to take legal action on First National and want the people responsible indicted on charges of fraudulent activity in my account and reimbursed for all the money taken and all the trouble i had to endure. I was not able to pay my rent and few other bills on time and could have faced eviction because of this company. I want everyone in this company to suffer like I have whether it be in jail/prison or financially. I do not want anyone to go through what I and many others have because of this company. If any lawyers are interested please let me know and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.
