I had just recieved a call from the supposed "us grants interactive" and after I was dont looked up information on this web site and there it was! Heres how it went down...
I had just walked in and I recieved a call from some guy saying "Congradulations! You have just been approved for a government grant!" and of course at first I was kinda skeptacle about it. He was talking bla bla about how he was from some organization (us grants interactive) and told me his name was Thomas Phillip. Immediately I thought what kind of Hindu guy or whatever has a really white name like that? Seriously... I was thinking if these guys can make it any more obvious. I was thinking this was a total scam... But I decided to go along with it until he asked me for personal information. So as the story goes he asked me how much money I wanted in grants, but I was thinking if I was actually offered a grant they would tell me how much I was going to recieve... So when he told me I could get about $70-80,000 or however much I wanted, then I guess I could ask for a billion dollars then huh?
He told me there would be a fee of $299... What an IDIOT you dont get charged to get a grant... Why would I have to pay for FREE money and have to give them back $299 of it. So then I was still going on with it... And he said all he needed were 3 reasons why I need the money. I told him my school was expensive and I wanted to hook my truck up (haha) and he said those were okay reason and it was good enough for him. He told me he was going to send a cd in the mail explaining how everything worked and how the process goes... And I told him sure whatever... And then BOOOOOM he asked the question. "Now all I need is your bank account number..." sorry I don't think so. I told him I never ever give out that information for any reason I don't care grant or not, and he told me "What? You dont believe me?" And then he started ranting about how he believes in god and if he were lying he would get what he derserves tommorow. The funniest part about that was I'm athiest and I really dont care.
Anyway, I told him I'm not going to give him my personal information and if he was serious he would send me stuff in the mail... But he insisted in doing business over the phone. I told him I'm not trusting some random guy who called me and asked for my bank information. He told me who would never decieve anybody, and then he asked me if I trusted my bank... Hahaha I dont even trust my own bank why would I trust this guy? So anyway I was on the phone with this guy for like 15 minutes... And everytime I told him to call me back and let me think about it he would say something like "what? Why dont you trust me?" or whatever. I kept going over the same conversation over and over again and I guess he got tired of wasting his time and told me I was missing out on a once in a lifetime oppertunity... And I told him whatever, for some reason it seems to be more of your loss than mine and then he hung up.
Dont trust these guys, if you go to the website www.usgrantsinteractive.com it has absolutely NO information thats important. All it has are sob stories about people that really needed money and they gave them hundreds of thousands of dollars. It has only 2 pop-ups... Any idiot with a limited amount of experience can make a website like that. Oh yea he also said his number was 0143 so if he gives you the same number, you know whats up.
