A man calling himself Vincent Pierce called me and said I had an online website mall. The site had not been completed and the people who had sold it to me had gone out of business. That he could get me a grant to pay Google to complete the website but not advertise it as my business. They would take over. He would pull the IP addresses of all the hits that the site had received and I would be paid. 35 cents and All American would be paid. 35 cents per name.
He wanted my credit card number ccv number asked how much credit I had on the card and a lot of information that I thought he did not need to know. Seemed like he was trying to steal my identity. He was very persuasive, explaining that he had worked on about 50 such accounts and had recovered enormous sums of money for other clients. He said to expedite things I should send a check for a certain amount for which I would be reimbursed. That in 60 to 90 days I would start getting checks from Google.
I asked for documentation of everything but he was very vague. Said I should just trust him. But, he would have his assistant, Dean Liston to send me the information. I never rece9ived a thing from anyone.
When I called the number given the person answering just says" state your name and I will try to connect you". The company name is never mentioned. Calls seldom are returned or are returned by someone else who gives lame excuses and promises to help with your problem but never does.
These people are running a very elaborate scam. They are quite convincing. Evidently there are quite a few involved. If anyone gets a call from Vincent offering to help them they need to report it to their stae's attorney general immediately. Say no thank you and hang up. It is a scam
