I woke up to a call of a hindu ladi, thick accent. And told me i had won a couple of grants. That to get a cd package, and information on the grants i had to send them $300.
I said i was broke, i had no money thats why i applied for a grant.: P well she said in order to verify we need your account number.
As i had just woke up i had no clue what was what i kept thinking yeah! Free money! I told her to call back in 15 mins. As i had to look for it.
While getting up to look for it, I dont know what happened and i got my sences back. Phew! And decided to check this online. Because as i know you shouldnt get chared for grants. So has it usacomplaints.com.
Com had a little story online. Thank god i read it all before she called again. It is a rip off.
I questioned the lady about it, and she then passed me to her "super visor" i could deffinately hear her passing the phone, and whisper to the man.
He then "tried" to mask his voice as a white male. He did a poor job, as he kept going back to his natural accent which was as well hindu. (sorry if im not pollitically correct, im just pissed off) well he told me his name was John Mcklein, he even spelled it for me. He gave me their phone number.
It wasn't acutally theres, but the real usgrantsinteractive phone number. He didnt know my cell had caller id, ther actual number was 1-866-344-7034. I questioned him about that, and he told me the 344 number wasn't theres. Maybe it was another companies. Lol. I was cracking up.
He then kept refering to my bank number, and that he needed it to verify. I said i dont have one. But if i got either send them a money order, he said no because on the phone it would be safer.
Well, after a few minutes of arguing, and me screaming at them that their pulling off a scam. He told me one last time would you like to "make" bussiness with us? I said no if it involves me getting ripped off. He then hanged up. Im 18 yrs old. So I was pissed off, and tried calling them back. After 4 rings they picked up, and covered the phone up, so as i not to hear. Lol. All i could hear was them covering it up. Just so you know im not racist, but they were all hindu. They tried their best to cover their accent. I want to also state, if you are broke or a college student in need of money, be really carefull, check the stats first. Im glad i did. And thnx usacomplaints.com i wuv u!
