Back in November I began researching the possiblity of obtaining a grant to rehab my house for much needed repairs.in late January I receive a phone call from Nationwide Consulting saying I had inquired with them on obtaining a grant, which I didn't remember doing, but they seemed like they knew a lot about me so I listened. Big mistake.
I was convinced that with the $299.00 fee I could obtain a grant of $5000 based just on where I lived. I balked at the fee but they soon had me convinced that it was well worth that amount.
I went ahead and authorized and automatic withdrawal in February and, except for a pretty convincing looking application booklet which was to be filled in and sent back to them, I haven't heard from them since.
I've called multiple times with no response back, I wrote them a letter on June 17 voicing my concernswith, of course, no response and I'm afraid I've become a victim of a clever and sneaky scam. The $299.00 they got from me I could ill afford to part with so easily but I needed some sort of help with my home and I thought they could help me get it. My house is in worse shape than ever and still no help from them.
I was considering a letter to the Attorney General of Delaware to report this company but have not as yet done so. Not sure what to do next to at least get my $299.00 back. Which I may never see again but I'm hoping.
