Government Grant Association
BIG ripoff

Education & Science

A man who sounded to be Indian called me, I can't remember his name, but said I was eligible for a gov't grant of up to $5000 that I would never have to pay back, etc., never mentioning that I would have to pay anything to get this, or whatever.

Then he asks if I have a savings or checking acc't, I said yes I do, and then he wants to get my acc't info (acc't #, routing #, bank name, etc.) so that if I get a grant it can be deposited right to my account, and then after I give it to him (big mistake I know.) he mentions the one-time membership fee of like $229 and some odd cents. I said "No, I can't pay that, I can't pay anything" and hung up, and immediately called my bank and they said they couldn't do anything until after the fact, unless someone came into a branch office.

So tomorrow I'm going to the bank and closing my account and opening a new one. So everyone BEWARE!!! DO NOT give out your account information to anyone unless you know they are trustworthy!!!
