I got a phone call about 2:00 on afternoon. Some Indian Lady was on the other side and she told me that I had just been awarded $12,500 in the form of a US Grant. I just recently enrolled In college so I thought that this wasn't bogus. She got me. She told me that there would be a one time fee of $49.95 and that I wouldn't have to pay that until I recieved my award. Wrong again I was.

She then asked me for my bank account number. I paused. What do you need that for. "so we can deposit your money into your account". Wrong again I was. She then proceeded to the final part of the phone call. A few moments later another person called me to verify my info so they can steal MY money. He told me It was all automated. The whole time the operator was talking to me he toned her out and only let me hear his questions. I answered yes to them because he really FLUFFED them up.

Little did i know the automated lady was telling me that they were taking money out of my account after the first Indian Lady told me she wasn't touching my funds in the bank. Them unconsiderate people stole my money and I want retailiation.

The whole reason I said yes is so I could help my ever so struggling family out and catch up on bills that are so far behind. I lost even more money because of them. But the GREAT news is that I caught the money on time. They didn't get any from me. But I did have a couple of bounce fees and some time off work to settle all my finance's.

If they ever call you just simply hang up. If they already called you call your bank RIGHT NOW. Stop the account cancel it. It is the only safe way.

Sincerely,
