My finances usually run like a finely crafted watch, so I was SHOCKED to discover that my bank statement reflected that some company had taken it upon themselves to electronically deduct $29.95 from my checking account on 06 Jul 05, and an additional $299.95 on 22 Jul 05.
After calling my banking institution I was informed that the withdrawal were made by FIRST NATIONAL BENEFITS, with whom I had spoken in a conversation sometime in late Jun 05 at which time I recall the representative speaking of a GOVERNMENT AUTHORIZED GRANT for $12,500 that I was entitled to if I'd only allow him to send me further information on the matter.
I also recall that the individual/representative (definitely) had a strong East Indian accent, and that on several occasions I had to ask him to repeat himself so that I could better understand him.
My banking facility is in the process of returning my funds, which is very kind of them, but that does little to alleviate the overwhelming feeling of being violated and deceived simply for answering my own phone!
As a proud USAF member for the past 19 years, it's very disheartening to think that this (so called) company has the audacity to pose as a GOVERNMENT AGENCY offering GOVERNEMT SPONSORED GRANTS!
They even have the NERVE to feed on individual sympathetic nature by saying the $299.95 is for SUNAMI RELIEF VICTIMS!
These people must be STOPPED Let the CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT BEGIN!
