Advantage America called me about 10:00 11-21-05 and told me that I was confirmed to recieve a U.S. Govt. Grant of 12,500 for me and my family. All I could think of was the money at the time.
They told me that in 2 days that I would be getting 500 dollars in grocery coupons and that I would have to pay 49.95 for a one time processing fee. They also said that I could just use the grocery coupons to pay the 500 dollars.
I gave them my account number and routing number and I had to repeat everything over some kind of answering service. I knew it was something going on because nothing was ever mentioned in the answering service about the govt. Grant.
They told me the money should be deposited into my account in 5-7 days. I woke up the next morning and called an accountant at the bank and asked her how it sounded and she said it sounded like a rip off.
I called the customer service number back that they gave me 3 times and I talked to 3 different people and they all said something different. One person told me that I wouldn't be in the computer yet because they only handle the money part and it takes 2 days, another gave me 2 numbers to call (1800621FEMA and 1877FEDINFO) and the third person told me that if I didn't pay the money (because I told her that I didn't want the grocery coupons) that I couldn't get the grant. That really let me know what was up.
I remembered hearing them say that they were advantage america so I typed it in in the google search engine and this is where it brought me.
They didn't get anything from me a 1/2 hour later I was at the bank closing that account. I got really lucky!!!
