GSI - Grant Services Incorporated ripoff, scammed Houston Texas

I was contacted by GSI Grant Services Incorporated one morning, stating that I had recieved a government grant, which I did not have to pay back, to use for school. The amount started out at 6,000 dollars and quickly jumped to 10,000 dollars when the woman learned I waas single with no children. All I had to do was pay a one time processing fee of $215.

This was not my brightest moment I will admit but when she asked for my banking information I gave it to her, I was very excited at the prospect of having money to pay for college. We picked a date that the money would come out of my account and hung up the phone. I got no information from her.

Realizing I had made a mistake I placed a stop payment on my checking account for the amount of $215, and the date we had agreed the money would come out came and went so I thought I was safe, but the company charged my checking account $298 three days later. The bank is refusing to help me so I'm out $298. Did I mention I'm on disability?

Anyways, maybe someone can learn from my experience. GSI Grant Services Incorporated is a crock of you know what.
