Complaint Review: Advantage America

This company really screwed me over. Well since I never really had to check on my checking account I didnt really notice at first that I was getting taken advantage of. So I recieved a call one day and it was Advantage America they told me that I was approved for $12,500 grant and that I could receive it within 7 days into my account.

So I was very happy and said ok and then they said that there was a fee of $49.95 and they needed my account number well I gave it to them and then realized that I never got the money into my account and instead they kept taking out money or trying to at least.

So not only did they take the $49.95 but they took $19.95 for what I dont know. Then they tried to take out $299.99 Two times and failed because of insufficient funds. So now i have all these overages.

I didnt really feel right after the first time I spoke to them and so I called the bank to put a stop on it and they charged me a $25.00 fee and didnt stop it so now Im screwed.

I called avantage america and I told them I wanted to talk to someone above the person I was speaking to since she wasnt halping me. I wanted my refund they kept me on hold for 45 min until I finally hung up and called them later.

When I spoke to a different person he said that they would send it to the refund dept and to call back in 2 days well I did and now they say that I cant get my refund. So now I have to talk to my bank hopefully I can still get it back through them im in the process of disputing this now. It sucks I had to change my account and everything.
