First National Grant Benefit Tried to ripoff Schemed to scam bank account number Telephone fraud Miami Florida

I received a telephone call saying I had been randomly selected by the U.S. government for a guaranteed grant totaling a minimum of 5,000 dollars up to 12,500 dollars. I could spend it on anything I wanted and I would never have to pay a cent of it back.

He had such a thick accent [sounded like he was from India]I had to ask him to repeat himself multiple times. He said his name was Shawn Phillips and that put up an immediate red flag because there was no way this guy could have such a common American name.

I also thought "What government agency is open at eight p.m. on a saturday night, pacific time, and sounds like they're in a warehouse?"

He asked for my bank name and checking account number. I thought it sounded too good to be true so I told him my husband was at the store with the checkbook and that I had no clue as to my checking account number. He asked if I had a recent bank statement. I told him my husband takes care of the bills so I wouldn't know where to begin looking. He said he will call me back on Monday, August 15th when my husband is home. He said, right before he hung up, not to discuss this with anyone, not even my husband.

I hung up the phone with him and got online and put in the company name and up pops this website. Thank you so much ripoff report.com.
