I was doing an internet search back in June looking for assistance with Federal Grants to buy a house. I entered my phone number and e-mail address and received a call the next day from someone from a Grant Assistance Program.
The person said that I needed to give them $300 to start the process, which would include them doing all the work for me, and I would receive an application and booklet within 4-6 weeks.
The package took almost three months to arrive in the mail. Once I recieved the application it had a governemt logo on the booklet that appeared to be a legitimate Grant program.
After I mailed my application I waited and waited and waited. Every single time I called I always got an answering machine. I would leave a message with my name and "Client ID number" they gave me during the initial call and would wait for a return call. A woman would always call back and tell me that they were behind in all the applications and I should be receiving something in the mail in 2 weeks. I never received anything. After waiting another month, everytime I would call I would receive the prompt to leave a message, but the mailbox was always full. Here it is 4 months later, and the mailbox is still full.
My whole point in doing this was to get help in receiving a Grant in order to help me buy my first home.
I have continued to call to this very day to try to talk to someone in regards to getting my money back, but the mailbox is still full. I have since changed banks so that they can not get into my bank to get anymore of the money that I do not have.
