Consumer Grants Usa rip-off! Saint Petersburg Florida

i was contacted by a man saying that i had been chosen to receive a free government grant. i was excited at first and asked him if this would require any money from me. he said that it would not cost me a dime unless i authorized it.

he then transfered me to his manager and i was told that i would have to pay a one time fee of 249.00. and he then proceded to read off my checking account information. i was floored to say the least that he had my information.

i asked him where he got it and he said the irs gave it to him so that i could be contacted. i hung up and he called me back three times after i made it clear that i was not interested. since then i have found out that the irs did not give him my informationa and that this was a scam to rip me off and take the money wether i approved it or not.

i have had to close out my old checking account and reopen another one. to this day i have no idea where he got my account inofrmation. to anyone thinking of giving money to this company watch out! its a huge ripoff!
