After applying for many government grants... I received a call on my phone on 4/29/05 I was told on the call I received that got all this started. John Phillips told me that the company charges $29.95, which was an one time application processing fee. He also said that the fee would not be charged until my bank contacts me and verifies the authenticity of this grant company.
He said that their name is First National Grants... I authorized them to be able to be paid the fee for processing the direct deposit of the 110% guaranteed grant in the amount of $12,500.00. On the recorded phone call I was told I was agreeing to allow them to take that amount from my account and at the very end it tells me that when I receive my letter, there will be an offer inside for me to apply to receive money every year and that offer would cost me $299.95, but I was not obligated in any way to purchase that offer and I could call their 800 number to cancel immediately so I won't be charged that against my bank account.
They offered me Easy One Rate phone plan that gives me unlimited long distance calling, for a flat fee. But I would nto be charged that until I signed the papers in the package they are mailing to me.
After about 10 mins my bank accoutn was already debited an amoutn of $90.00. (which was obviously not authorized) I went immediately to the bank and filled otu a fraud applicationa dn closed my current bank account and had to open a new on.
PLease dont fall for thsi scam. It makes u believing it is helping you and in reality they are just fooling you.
