Today I recieved a call on my cell phone from Advantage America. The man who called was named was "John Fisher". He had a very thick accent and I had difficulty understanding him. He said I had qualified for a free government grant. I tried to ask "why"... And he just said that the government gives citizens who pay their taxes grant money each year... Or something.

He knew a suprising about of my personal information and said that he had aquired it from the government. He read me half of my bank account number, and then asked for the rest of it. He said that he needed it so that $100 could be deposited into my account by tomorrow, and then 2-3 days later they would withdraw $49.95 to make sure it was a "valid account". He told me about some kind of $299 benefits plan, which I could choose to accept or refuse. Then soon I would get the full amount of the government grant deposited into my account.

I was intrigued by the free money and so very naively gave him the info he asked for... But happened to be outside my bank at the time. Right after I did it, I felt tricked so went and changed my bank account... Thank God!!! Once I got home I found this site and am soooo glad I followed my instincts before they got any of my money!
Watch out for this scam!!!
