On Saturday evening Dec 17 I was contacted by a gentleman naming himself as Senior Officer Dennis from American Advantage telling me that I have been approved for a once in a lifetime Govt grant of $12,000 plus an added thank you of 500 worth of grocery coupons. He claimed there would be a onetime processing fee of $49.95 to be debited from my checking account within 2 days of his call.
Desperately needing money I thought my prayers had actually been anserwed and that I would be able to p ay a defaulted 20year old student loan that I cannot get ahead of no matter what I do. It will plague me until I die and I saw this as a miracle - a way to pay that student loan. I gave him my checking account # like a huge dummy.
Never, never, never!!! Unless you are 100% sure of the person or persons that are going to debit your account DO NOT GIVE ANY ACCOUNT NUMBERS TO ANYONE. Monday morning I now have to close my checking account and reopen a new one - yes, small hassle but big stupid erro
