Grants Association BS Increase Your PM Length

Be on a look out for this scam:

http://www.badbusinessbureau.com/re...ipoff132055.htm

I just got a call from these guys and was about to do it.. and when I saw this I just hung up. I just want to warn you guys about this (especially those in California).. if you get a call from them hang up immediately.

I'm so ****ing pissed they almost talked me into doing it, and I just hung up saying "go **** yourself and your stupid scam, call me again and I'll report you to the proper authorities".

That was close. I was tired from a hard day in classes and was not up to full speed, but once I saw this website my eyes opened up and I got real mad. A ****ing offshore scam.

It still is a scam... no matter what typo is on there.. and the response seems to be well written.

Oh and by the way, they wanted to charge me $299, not just $199. ****ers. If I find these people I swear...

My husband was contacted by a person (foriegn) that stated we were gauranteed to recieve grant money in the amount of $5,000. He told him all he had to do was pay for the packet, sum of which was $199.95.

This voice on the phone proceeded to ask if we had a checking account, my husband answered yes. once that was established he asked for the information on the check. all information given He (my spouse) was informed that once the money was withdrawn a packet would be mailed to him in two weeks.

Well, money was withdrawn, time has passed, no packet. we are compramised.

What do we do now?
