Government Grant Processing Center ripoff, fraud tries to steal $257 and says you will recieve non taxable non returnable $8K Las Vegas Nevada

Hi. My husband recieved a call last night from the "Government Grant Processing Center". What Yuki wrote about is exactly how it happened. These people are smoothe talkers and are very convicing.

My husband is a very intelligent man, but he fell for it too. I got home in the middle of the phone call...after he gave the checking information. I told him to get their information to call them back. At this point, we got no response and they hung up. I called the bank also and froze the account. First thing this morning, we closed the account.

Since then, we have recieved two more phone calls the first of which, I got the "company name". I recieved the last call about twenty minutes ago. I guess we just have to keep hanging up on them, since telling them we have no checking account doesn't stop the calls.

For you people out ther who have never fallen victim, I am happy for you. For everyone else, learn from mistakes, and report it to your attorney general and police departments. It happens to everyone at one point or another from family, friends, and complete strangers.

As for John, the only thing he was accurate on was that grants do have to be applied for.

My advice is this:
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
There are no processing fees for grants.
And learn from it and make your friends and family aware...the more people that know, the less it will happen!

Ok, this is to Mr. John from San Antonio. I'm sorry that I can't be as aware and perfect of a person as you. I was not scammed twice by the same people. One thing before I explain, how come I happen to be one of the only ones who was responded to? There are many reports on the same case and I havn't found any responses on this situation before.

Anyways, If you do a search on "Audio File" you will find that it is another scam of people going around saying they have extra speaker at a retail price of $1.8k and just want to get rid of them. I got caught in that losing a few hundred dollars. It wasn't the same scam as this one here. And just for your information, I'm not the oldest person here, so I may not be the wisest. People gotta learn from their mistakes. Saying that, the same company (Audiofile) came up to me again (different people) and tried to sell me some speakers again no knowing I already knew about them, I learned from my first experience and just confronted them.

And about the short bus comment, I don't know why you came to that conclusion. Are you always that judgmental to people?

#1 - You should know better, if you have been scammed by these "perfect opportunity" scams, then it's your own fault. The little yellow bus left and you weren't on it.... I'd be a little more careful next time... Why would someone out of the blue offer you a grant? Grants have to be applied for... just a hint for you
