I recevied a call from a company on 1/19 claiming, that my husband and or i can get a government grant because we are taxpayer that have never fild late and that we do not have a crimail record or have owed money to the I.R.S. At frist i was so happy to hear this because my husband is in collage right now, and the grant would be good. So when it came to giving them my bank account nr#, at frist i said i really should not do this because of all the scam's out there. The representative told me he understood, and that after i recevie the papperwork for the grant money, i can get the $49.95 refunded and to just call before 30 days to cancel the membership for than $299.00.
After i going off the phone with them something told me to look the company up, i found out that it is a scam, and then i called my bank to stop payment on the check number i gave them, so my bank representative told it would be a good idea to come in as soon as i can to get a new account number at my bank.
I feel so stupid, but i know i was only thinking how the $12,500 grant money would help my husband with school right now!
So now I have to go and get a new acoount with my bank!!!
But this will teach me, never to trust anyone on the phone telling me we can get money from a grant or anything els etc...
