American Standard Financial I received a phone call claiming that I was to receive a $4,500.00 grant to pay bills, or start a business few days ago in july of 2007 The lady on the phone told me that I was being recorded, and not to ask any questions while the recording was taking place She proceeded to ask me to verify that I had a Checking account, and asked the name of my bank, account, and routing number.

American Standard Financial contacted me towards the end of July last month. They claimed that I was to be given a government grant in the amount of $4,500.00 to do whatever I needed to do, such as pay off bills, start a business etc. They told me that my conversation was being recorded, and asked me not to ask any questions while the recording was taking place. I did ask a few questions, and she claimed that she had to start the recording process all over again each time. She asked for the name of my bank, my checking account number, and my routing and social security number. She said that my checking account would be debited a one time fee of $359.00 on September 3rd. She also told me that she would have a verifyer provide me with a coustomer care # which I did not receive from them.

She informed me that if funds were not availiable to be taken from my account, that fines would be accessed toward my account. I have taken steps to have my bank not honnor any electronic transfers from this agency. I will be changing my account number on monday morning. They almost got me, thank goodness I had second thoughts about letting them just take my money out of my bank. This Company is a Ripoff artist, and needs to be exposed, sued out of existance, and punished to the limits of the law!
