On November 10 I was contacted my someone with a foreign accent (probably middle eastern) in regards to getting an $8,000 government grant. He asked for my checking account information or a credit card number. I informed him that I did not bring this to my job with me and he asked me if I had anything with me with this information on it. I told him no. He stated that he would call me back the next day (which was a government holiday for me and I was not in).

I figured I had heard the last from him but on the 22nd of November he called back and told me that I told him to call back and I would have the information (which I most certainly had not). When I began questioning him about this he got very defensive which should alerted me but I was on my job and could not think clearly to everything he was throwing out at me.

Stupidly I gave him my account number and only after I gave him my checking account information (of which he already had my routing number) did he inform me that this so called grant really consisted of a packet with instructions on how to apply for a grant. I hung up the phone and immediately went to my bank and stopped payment on this check.

I thought I had heard the last of them, however on December 15th I had a letter from my bank showing a check being paid for insufficient funds in the amount of $257.00 with an odd number on it. I new that this had to be the check that I stopped so I called my bank and discovered that they had sent the check back through with a different check number attached.

I called them and waited for at least 45 minutes for an answer during which time I was bombarded with the constant playing of 2 songs over and over and over. During the music there was recordings that cut in stating that they were assisting other customers and the wait could be as long as 27 minutes or so and if I did not want to wait I could go to their website at grant@yourchoiceinc.com or call back during the evening hours when business wasn't quite so brisk or something to that effect.

I finally persisted and spoke with a woman and explained to her that I wanted my money back. She stated that I did not cancel in the 3 business days required and they would not refund my money. I told her about the RipOff website and she did not comment only repeating over and over that I had agreed to this. I told her that I did not authorize the amount to be taken at the later date and she was unmoved. I finally told her that I would contact my bank again and hung up. She was an American, probably a terrorist sympathizer.
