I had been recieving phone calls for 3 days on my cell phone from a weird number (778-881-4253) for almost 3 days, and it had called me 5 to 6 times a day. I finally answered it one morning and talk to a woman named Susan from Citizens Service Management, she informed me that the government wanted to offer me a grant for $5500 or more. It sounded great because I am a college student and I have alot of bills to get paid off. She told me there was a proccessing fee of $349 and wanted to know when i could pay it. I told her in a week and gave her my bank info, then she switched me over to some guy who wanted me to answer a bunch of yes and no questions. After that I was given a fake customer service number and some fake tracking number. I was told it would only take a 3-4 days after my payment went through. After going to working and coming home, i went online to check out this company's website (guessing they would have one) that is when i ran into this site and the other posts about this scam.
I called my bank and they cant do anything about it besides close my account and open a new one. Luckily they didnt get to my account because jokes on them and i have no money anyways, lol. So know i have to buy new checks and all that fun stuff. Heads up to you out there, dont get caught by this one, they sound real and proffessional with lots of noise in the background. It is a scam. Dont ever give out your bank info over the phone, to anyone.
Please stop these people.
