I have signed up to recieve these benefits and of course the government grant guide, being told that I could receive free money easily with the guide.
I paid $49.99 with the first phone call, money was withdrawn from my checking account. This occured 3 days after getting the phone call.
Then, I recieved the welcome letter, in the letter it said I had a 7 day review of the program which was one page and gave a website that told you nothing unless you got the username and password from the company.
After the 7 day review $299.95 was withdrawn from my checking account. All money was withdrawn in the middle of September.
On October 7th a Friday at 11 pm I received a phone call at 11 pm saying that I had been qualified to receive $12,500 in grant money and that it would be deposited into my checking account by Saturday October 8th. All I had to do was say "yes" to all the questions to computerized operator asked.
My husband and I were excited to say the least! We are a family of 5 and only one pay check coming in as I am still waiting for my appeal date for SS. We kept calling my bank all weekend and no money was deposited.
On Tuesday October 11th (Monday was a holiday so bank was closed) I called the # the operator gave me on Friday to find out why money was not in my account as I was told it would be and all I kept getting was a fast busy signal over and over again.
So I called the # that was on the welcome letter from advantage america and spoke to an operator there, she told me that I had been enrolled again and that I had to call my bank and stop payment for $49.95. I asked about the phone # that was given to me on Fri. And she said she never heard of that # but the confirmation # that was given to me matched with the new enrollment.
I told them that I should not be charged, I already enrolled once and It was not my fault that I was enrolled again, the woman who called said I was going to receive $12,500 in my checking account that weekend.
She told me that I could not recieve money yet because I had not filled out the grant application yet but to call back tomm. Wed. 10/12 to make sure 2nd enrollment was cancelled.
I called back on 10/12 and the operator at that time said I only show one account for you and you have not been charged $49.95 again, call again if this should happen.
Then, on October 21st at 5:30 pm I received a phone call from advantage america again, this time i had my husband listen in on the speaker phone so that he could hear what I was being told because he was not happy after the first call saying I was going to have money that weekend.
Again the operator told me that I was eligible to receive $12,500 and that It was going to have that money deposited into my account that evening.
This phone call came from the "verification department". They gave me a confirmation # and was told all I had to do was say "yes" to all the questions from the automated operator, so I did.
At the end of the automated operator was done the operator came on again and said that all the "yes" responses would be removed and that no money was to be withdrawn from my account at the bank.
Again, my husband and I kept calling the bank to see if money was deposited and again it was not.
On Oct. 22nd we called again and asked what was going on and again my husband listened in on the speaker phone. The operator said again I had not filled out the grant application and that she had no idea what the comfirmation # was that she had given me or who called.
She also said I should be receiving my government grant book by the end of October.
I have recieved the book on Oct. 26th, we don't understand it and how to go about receiving the application so I will be calling again today Oct. 27th.
In the packet It says I should have a card for all the medical coverage, There wasn't one. There is also a paper on a Fast Cash Card that says I am a preferred customer and have access to cash advances any time for any reason and again there is no card in this packet!
I do not understand what is going on here but I have written everything down along with times and dates and whatever #'s these people give me. I think I deserve the money they told me I should be getting and If not and this is a scam I should get the money back that i have put in plus some for all the aggravation this has caused.
