Complaint Review: National Processing Center

I was contacted a few weeks ago from National Processing Center (obviously they have been tracking my internet travels). I am a single mother and small business owner. I have been searching for government grants because you hear all the time there is money out there. I have never asked for help. Never got any type of assistance. I just need a little help with my business.

They contacted me by phone and said they had lawyers who helped people get grants because it was such a grinding process. I asked a bunch of questions thought they sounded legit and authorized them to take $385.00 out of my checking account. They said they would refund all but $39.95 if they could not help me and it would take up to 8 months to hear from some of the grant people. I received a small questionare, mailed it back. I have called numerous times, and no one has returned my calls. When I call the message is that all reps are busy and have a blessed day.

I left a message today that I thought they had scammed me and that God would take care of this. I need that money. I am afraid I am fixing to lose my business and I don't know what I am going to do. I am so upset that I have allowed someone to do this to me.
