On Dec.20,2005 around 4:30 to 5:00pm I got a phone call from Cris Wilson of Advantage America. He was saying that I was appoved for a $12,500 grant. He kept saying that it wasn't going to cost me anything it from the government to me from paying my taxes.

Then I had him talk to my husband and tell him about it all. That is when he had my husband listen to a recording and answer questions. In this recording it kept asking if it was ok to take a one time fee of $49.95 out of our checking account. And when my husband said NO they would come back on saying "but you don't have anything to worry about, it would come out of the grant money so just say yes to the question". So they would play it again and once again my husband said NO. They did this 4 or 5 times before my husband told them no matter how bad we may need the money his answer is still NO, then he hung up.

Then we got online and we found this site. And now we are very glad we didn't say yes.. My husband says when people ask you to just say yes, you should say NO and hang up. It really upsets them when you say NO.
