I recieved a phone call from Advantage America to inform me that I had been awarded a 12,500 Grant from the government.I just found out that they took out $299.95 out of my bank account. I did not know that they are in the rip of reports. I'm a student and also have a family. I was happy to here that I AM AWARDED a grant from the government cool I can pay for my class and my bills but after I found out that they took money out of my account I called them and I talk to them and told them that i wanted my money back into my account they said that I have to wait to get the government packet. if my grant application gets denied then I get my money back. I told her that I need that money that they took out to pay my housepayment. I think this company should be closed down for taking peoples money away and there playing around with the government. I don't think this is fair for us and the government to be played around with. the government should put a stop to all of these companys that are selling grants to people.

This has SCAM written all over it?

You will never be charged to apply for a government grant. You can search them out and apply online, or order the app packet for free.

Think about something here....BEFORE hearing from these people for the FIRST time, did you ever apply for a govt grant???

If not, why do you suppose someone would track you down to give you money? In the real world, they do not.

This is just common sense.

Think about it.

You need to close your account or they will get all your money, then you need to talk to your bank and have them do a chargeback of the 299. Do not wait for the package, Advantage America will intentionally delay the mailing so long, it will be too late to report the fraud to your bank.

In case you haven't figured it out, there is no grant and there will be no grant. Take action now before you are scammed out of all your money. Do NOT tell the bank to 'block' them, that will not work. Close the account now.
