I received a phone call from a foriegn sounding man stating he was from the Government Grants Association, a department of the IRS.
He stated that seeings how I was a faithful taxpayer that the Government Grants Association was to grant me $5, 000 based on my tax paying history.
He then wanted me to give my banking details, which I was reluctant, however he started telling me what my numbers were as proof that he can be trusted and it was a way for me to verify to him who I was.
He then told me I will be switched over to another person for the verification process. Well, as you know, that never happened.
To make a long story short, instead of a deposit of 5, 000 dollars there was a withdrawel of 199.95 from my account.
Immediately after the phonecall, i notified my bank and told them that there may be a possible withdrawel from my account. I opened a new one and transfered majority of my money to protect it.
I would like to know how this company is still getting away with this scam and also how I can get my money back? Why isnt anyone doing anything about this company??? Please Advise
