I was on internet looking for grants for first time home buyer. Watch your websites if looking on internet, everything should end in. Gov and not a.com. Anyways I was on a.com website instead of. Gov and filled out some basic info. Name, address, and dob. I was later contacted by a man named Jake Tyler who said that the government was given out grants to first time home buyers and I was eligible. The grant would be for 25% of the home value but I would have to find a foreclosed or short sale house because the gov wanted to put the money back into the housing economy. Kind of sounds legite right?
The person gave me 2 websites to look at: freeforeclosures.com to find maybe some houses and federalgrantprogramsservices.com. All the info the person gave me is on the website. Anyways he told me that I needed to send the grant writer $385. The grant writers name KATHY APARICIO, same as report#451877. I sent it certified mail, it was signed by JENNY GONZALEZ. I was also sent an e-mail that outlines a so called disclosue agreement. I was to sign and send back to them.
Anyways I guess I got duped out of $385 dollars. I have contacted consumer affairs about this. Just be wary if someone contacts you about government grants, and make sure you are on the. Gov website, don't trust anything on a.com website!
