I am unsure of the location of the company that called me but I was also contacted by this company. They also told me that I was qualified for a $6000 government grant that I would not have to pay back, but I had to pay a $298 processing fee and then the money would be deposited into my account 21 days later. I asked them what the grant was for and they told me it was for school. I am in college and I did file for so many different grants that I had no reason to not believe this person.
A couple days later I was feeling a little uncomfortable about the situation so I contacted the customer service number that they gave me. Someone answered and said that it was to soon for them to see my file and that I needed to call back in a few days.
The money has now come out of my account and I am finding all this information about how people have been scammed by this company. I am wondering what is going to happen. I do have a customer service number and a verification number from these people and they have answered but I have a sick feeling about all of this and I have felt this way since I gave them my bank information. I guess it is a waiting game for now.
If I do get ripped off, which I have no doubt that I will, is there anywhere that you can report these people to besides the bank? I mean of course I want my money back but I would also like to see these people go down. Isn't what they are doing illegal?
Any answers would be great.
