On 12/01/2005 A man from this company called me on my cell phone and told me that he was from the US Goverment Grants Department, and that I was entitled to recieve a grant of $5000. All I had to do is to agree to give him my checking account number and the next day I would recieve 5000 dollars in my account. He also stated that no money would be taken from my account.

He stated that I would recieve a password and that password would have to be given to the bank lady to varify that I was the rightful person to recieve this grant. He also told me that if I gave him the wrong account number that the United States govermnet would sue me for submitting a false number.

He also said that no money would be taken from my account and that after i have recieved the money if then i would be willing to pay a processing fee of 49.95

He stated that I was one of the select few that would be recieving this grant and that I was very fortunate to be recieving it.

He told me that I could do what ever I wanted to do with this money as long as it was not used for gambling or anything illegal, do to the fact that it was coming from the federal goverment.

Well I was excited that maybe I was actully recieving monys from one of the applications that I filled out for prior to my going back to school to get my degree. But the joke was on me. It really was from a company that was trying to scam me, at a time in my life when the money would be great. Where I could pay off my bills and get tires for my van and presents for my children. So I went to the bank to see if I was the recipant of 5000 dollars from the US Goverment Grant Department.

I called the number he gave me the next day and I got a differant version as to the picture from the night before. And did that lady feel my wrath, for I have never have hated so much before, but when I found out that this was a big fat lie I was so angry, at those poeple that call up fellow Americans and lie through they teeth just to turn a buck. So until something is done to stop companies like this one for calling up and making lies to people I will not let this company have a momenets peace.

So don't take the word of someone calling that says he is from the US Goverments Grant Department, it is all a lie.

This company needs to be stopped some one please stop them.
