I received a postcard in the mail saying that I was a possible recipent of a government grant of at least $5,000.00.
I called the phone number and gave them information, such as my address, my bank account number, my social security number and my routing number. They asked me if I had the money available now in my account and I told them that I would deposit the $299.00 on March 30th and they told me they would schedule an automatic debit for the 31st of March.
They transferred me to the verification muber which was 866-316-7146. I spoke to a gentlemen by the name of Johnathan and he wanted me to verify my information and informed me that our conversation would be recorded. I got suspicious so I did not repeat my information for him but told him I would call him back with the information. I got on the internet and started doing a search on these people and that is when I dicovered that this was a rip of. I can't believe I was stupid enough to give the first people I talked to all my banking information and my social security number. Can you please help me stop this people so that no one else will get hurt. What do I do they have all my information.
