A man by the name of "John Smith" had contacted me regarding a government grant in the amount of $5000. He said I was already approved and that all I needed was a checking account. I told him that I didn't have one and he said I could use someone elses if I got permission. So I asked my boyfriend and he gave me his account information. After all that was taken care of he told me that a regiftration person was going to give me a PIN # and all I had to do was tell the branch manager, of the bank, and I would have access to the money. I repeatedly asked quetions about having to pay for anything or fill out any paper work and he said no that I was already approved, and within 2 days I would have the money.
They never gave me the PIN # so I called back the next day and no one new who he was or what I was talking about so I told them to cancell it. They still didn't and my boyfriend got charged the $49.95 plus got charged again for $299.95. I tried cancelling this thing twice, and for some reason it was posted on my account, but they never cancelled it. Now they are telling me that I have to wait 6 months to get that money back. I tried talking to a manager/supervisor, but their all in this "Emergency Meeting" and won't be available until the next day. All this is B.S. And if anyone gets a call from these people just hang up!!!
