    Exclamation American Grant Information

    This morning at 7:55am a person called my house and said they were with american grant information. Basically they said I was entitled to atleast $5,000 and up to $25,000 in grants. They then went onto to verify my checking account number, address, phone number etc...

    They said there was a processing fee of $249?? This seems weird to me. Has anyone else have any experience with this???

    Yup its a scam!!! If you look hard enough you can get that info for free. You could also run down to the book store and by a book that list grants for like $20-$30. I get spammed from those a**holes all the time. I hope you didnt pay them the $250.00!!!

    Tell them to deduct it from "up to $25,000 in grants" you're entitled to.

    If you gave them your bank account information I'd inform your bank to stop any unauthorized transfer requests
