America Advantage
Ripoff Wanted the numbers on the bottom of a check or my bank account number

This man called and asked for my husband by name or someone in the house 18 or older. He said we qualify for a 12,000.00 government grant. He said he would send me an information packet and some forms to fill out and send it back and we would get a check for 12,000.00 He wanted my bank name and my checking account #. I gave him my bank name but no bank account numbers. He kept trying to convince me it was okay.

I insisted I was not okay with that. He said his name was
Mickey Peterson (had an India accent) Cust service Rep #0425 he was from the Grant Dept of America Advantage. He assured me no one could take money from my account if I gave him Numbers on the bottom of my checks. I told him to call back when my husband was home. I don't usually answer my phone unless I know the number on my caller ID. I haven't been answering the unknowns.
