I was contacted by a man who did not speak very good english and was difficult to understand. He told me that I had been chosen to receive a 5000.00 dollar government grant that was free money. This was on Thanksgiving day. He needed my routing number and account number along with the name and address of my bank.

I was told the money would be in the bank the next day. I was told that they would charge me a one time fee of 49.95. I was also given an authorization nuber to get the money out of the bank. I went to the bank and there was no money.

I closed my account and opened a new account. These people did not get any money thank god. Five days later I received a box with some coupons and a letter stating that for 299.?? which they would debit my account for, I would receive health, dental, and vision benefits.

I was given a phone number to cancel these benefits should I chose to do so. I called the number and could not get through to a live person. Although I did not lose any money, I did want to make this report so that this ripoff can be stopped.

Did the same these heartless dusche bags

Hey there, to all the people that have been scammed by these heartless dusche bags, it is best to close your accounts ASAP.

But I do have a question for you though, did you ever get charged and if they are still after the $49.95 ???

I have closed my account within 13hours and no charges were put on the cancelled account. I am just worried that with the recordings of me saying yes, that they would be able to debit me through my bank account, which I have canceled.

You response of "NO they didn't charge me after closing my account" would definatly make my Christmas go a lot smoother

- Thanks
