I was contacted by a woman whos voice almost sounded fake, but there was an accent, she said I was guarenteed $4,500 dollars in grant money. I would recieve the grant request to sign within 14-days of the debit. I was skeptical and told her no, that I was not interested. The first of the month rolled around and $359 was debited from my account. I called the "800" number that showed up on my online statement, and it was them. I told her that I did not want what she was selling and wanted my account credited back. She said that was impossible, that I had to wait till the paperwork arrived, send it back and then I would be refunded. Ok, great, so I waited... Still waiting... No report, now (3) months. Meanwhile I contacted the phone number the call came from on my ID... (866) 395.. I was advised they were a call center only for American Standard Financial and gave me the (866) 569-2573. I called this number every time the date rolled around that I was to recieve this information... They were numerous and no matter what I said... That they basically could not do the math, how could 14-days from the 1st turn into 30,60, now 90-days... Every time it was another date added on. I once again called the first "800" number... She now sounded frustrated I kept calling... And asked for an address on this company. Guess what, its in Barbedos, the Caribbeans!!! How can they get grant money from the United States??? Now, I find out another address for them is in Champlain, NY, how convienant they can just run to Canada when hopefully the FBI comes looking for them! Unbelievable! I was a big fish for sure! People beware, the Better Bussiness Bureau advised me that grant infromation request are "FREE", it cost nothing to appy and gave me an "800" to call. I hope these people are caught and made to pay back all the honest people they have ripped off!
