Complaint Review: Federal Government Grant Processing Center

I was offered a Federal Government Grant by the Federal Government Grant Processing Center in the amount of 8,000 dollars. I was told this grant could be used for any purpose and did not have to be paid back.
All that was required was a $249 processing fee and that I fill out the application that was sent to me. I was told that in six to seven months I would receive a check in the mail. I was offered this grant because I was a reliable tax payer.

However, after I agreed to give them my account information and the money was debited from my account, I was not able to get in touch with them through the number they provided. I received the booklet along with the application, and to my dismay was not eligable for any grant.

Two hundred and forty-nine dollars of my hard-earned money was talken from me. I am a full-time undergraduate student and a full-time mother and wife. Do not be fooled by this company. Do not give your account information out over the phone.

I hope to retrieve my lost money from this company by any means. However, it will take time which I do not have a lot of. I feel extremely violated. Do not make the same mistake I did. $249 is a lot of money to those who are not as fortunate as others.
