I got a call on my cellphone number. The caller ID showed up as a blocked number, or if somebody was trying to call from a calling card or from another country.
The lady with a hindu accent started talking really fast, said my name, my adress, my routing number! I went ahead and repeated it to her, dumb a* me. I am thinking, I need money for college, (the lady said i qualified for a grant $8,000 to $25,000) and I didn't even think that usually if a government gives out grants it usually sends it in the MAIL and doesn't contact a person on their cell phone. Plus the lady on the other line asked if I was 18 yet, but I wasn't, that should've been enough for a government official to ask for an adult and call back later if nobody is at home.
That sounded fishy and I called my bank and stopped it from being processed. And by the way IGNORE CALLS LIKE THAT, please, I just want everybody to know. This company goes by a lot of names. I have read a couple of reports on it.
