My wife received a call from a the Federal Grants Department. These gentleman, who sounded Indian but had overly American names (ie. Dennis Jones), informed my wife that she had been chosen as a US taxpayer by the Federal Goverment to receive a Miscellanious Greant of $12,500 that would be credited to our account within two days. They supplied Federal ID numbers and any type of question asked was answered. We felt uneasy and sounded sketchy but in the end we decided we did not want to take the risk of missing out on the grant if it was true; and again, these guys were quick and reassuring with there answers. We gave them our a/c number and they even had a gentleman call with verifications. Sure enough, no funds were credited to our account but a charge of $49.95 was made two days later. We opened an investigaion with our bank. A week later we received a package from Advantage America containing a book to request coupons and a letter telling us of discounts we will receive since we were now signed up as members. It also said we will be receiving a book that list how to apply for Goverment grants. It also stated that this was all part of a review process of 7 days and that at the end of the seven days we would be charged $299.99.
