Complaint Review: First National Benefits

This very deceiving company generates calls advertising Federal Grants that have been assigned for you by the government. They state that they are a branch from the Federal Revenue Office that distributes grants that have been set-aside for people that are in need of assistance. They ask you what you would use it for, and insist that it should only be used for meaningful purpose. After assuring you that you will get what ever amount from the top of their heads, they tell you that the only out of pocket money you would have is $29.95, which is for the wire transfer fee, and $299.95 that would come out of the monies transferred into your account.

The money never got transferred to my account, and they charged the $29.95. I notified my bank, and the transaction is being reversed. I tried speaking with the Manager of Customer Services but they did not want to transfer me. They provided no information other than what is printed in the letter:

My cancellation number is KK120. You must insist on the call, it takes forever. Have your confirmation number given to you on hand.
