I received a yellow postcard in the mail stating that I had been identified as a possible recipient for a government grant of at least $5000. It had my Virginia address on it.
It had provided a 1-866 number to call for a professional grant advisor to assist me in getting a grant. The post card stated that the recipient could use the money for housing, education, and disaster relief expenses.
When I had called the number, they had sounded professionally concerned for my financial situation. Then they referred me to another representative for to enter a "contract" with them. The said "contract" included that I agree to pay a processing fee of $299.97. I did not like it at first, but they stressed that I was guranteed to at least $5000. So I set the date of a ACH debit transaction to July 1st. However, my account was debited two days later!!!
When I called them to see why they debited my account early, they acted shady and would not answer my questions. I had called twice. Each call was 15 minutes apart. On the first call, they said I would have the money by next Thursday; on the second call, they said it would be in my account in one month.
Please, I urge anyone getting a yellow postcard with the name Lion's Gate Financial LLC to rip it up and report them. Do not respond!!!
