Scott Haskins called after filling out an on-line application for a small business grant.
He claimed their company write grants for the federal government, giving his contact information as well as where to send the grant writers fee.
According to the time line, I supposedly only had 3 days to do this.
Scott also said, for my personal assurance, not to send the certified mailed money order in his name. Wanted the money order addressed to Capital Funding Program along with a "consent form" he emailed.
Scott claimed the fee was 100% refundable if denied but that they have a 90-95% of success rate of applicants.
This guy new that I sensed what was going on
I talked with Mr. Haskins several times, unfortunately after feeling I had been scammed, I left him a message notifying him that "there is a problem".
After that message, the return phone calls stopped, and the phone number was changed and/or disconnected a few days later. That's when I knew what I suspected all along was unfortunately true.
