ENTITLEMENT PRO fraud took money from my checking account without authorization Ripoff Lakeforest California

This all started with a phone call on 7/24/2006. A person named Christopher Morris asked me if I would like a grant for $5,000 dollars that I would not need to pay back.

Sounded good to me. Then he began to ask me personal questions like name, address, phone number, bank, bank location, route #, accout# last 4 digits ssn this way they can deposit the 5k.

I would receive the 5K once the forms they were sending were filled out and returned, a fee of $249.95 would be taken out then and they would deposit the 5K into my account. Sounds good they would keep saying. How can you pass up this free money.

I also spoke with a supervisor Richie Jones to varify what Christopher Morris was saying. Believe me I was very hesitant but the money sounded like it would help me out so much.

At the end of the conversation I was to get a phone number to call if needed. When it came to the phone number I heard
877 - then nothing but static.

I was scammed.

Today August 19th I received my checking statement and the complete phone number was there, so I called.

Now I am told it would take 5-7 business days to receive a refund. I was furious that I let this happen to me.

Now I have to wait for a refund, if it ever happens...
