On August 31 at 9:01 P.M. EST, I received a call from a foreign person claiming that I was elgible for an $8,000 personal government grant. I was excited. Everything sounded very professional and legitimate. I furnished the person with my banks routing number and checking account number under the conditions that I would receive the via Electronic Funds Transfer directly to my account. After I gave the person the information, they had me repeat my information for recording purposes.
After this, I was then sent to a "verification officer" who repeated the information to ensure the information they gave was correct. After a few days, I began to do some research. I entered their bogus customer service number into the google search engine, which instantly provided me with numerous scam reports.
Luckingly, my bank allowed the charges to be lifted from my account with a police report and a affidivant of fraud. They also placed a stop on the check so these ruthless con-artists would not be able to try to try to send the check back for payment.
For those who participate in this scam, I have reported this incident to my state attorney, as well as the F.B.I. And numerous media mediums. I will make it my personal goal to expose this company to the nation. Look for my interview with the Detroit Free Press and Channel 7 Defenders; it's already in the works. I'll enjoy every single moment of this. Did I mention that my cousin who happens to be an attorney for a top firm in New York has also expressed interest. Sorry, but you've scammed the wrong one.
I hope that the other victims bank will be as accommodating as mine. And I cant neglect to mention, the company that collects payment for this company will also be investigated. Needless to say, a lot of people may be out of a job by the end of the year... I promise!!!
Best wishes to the other victims & may those responsible for this scam experience the harshest realm of the law.
