Complaint Review: GSI - Grant Services Incorporated - Shawn Williams

I recived a call in December of '05 from Grant Services Incorporated. This person who called himself "Shawn Williams". He stated to me that I was eligable for a $6,000 dollar grant from the government at no charge. At this time I was scepticle due to the fact I had went through something similar to this only a month earlier.
But I new I was going to be contacted because of the educational website I was registered to. I remeber contantly asking him "Is this a scam or something?" he kept assuring me this was legit. Then at hte end of his presentaion he went on to tell me about a $298.00 nonrefundable fee that was needed inorder to recieve the grant for processing this amount of money in my account.

The whole time my fiance' was very very uneasy about the whole situation. But we went along with it because I really needed the money to back school. At the end of this session on the phone, "Shawn Williams" gave confirmation #2426656 which was also supposed to be my grant number as well. The last thing was the contact number it was "1-866-999-1896".

This money that "GSI" took from me and my family could have served a better purpose. In result of this swindle I hav had to put off my college education & my wedding because of this discrace that this company and indivisuals involved have imposed upon my life. All of this non-scense because I want to attend college.
