Grant Educational Resources Ripoff Watch Out for these Scammers!! Unknown Unknown
Beware of these people. They called me a few days ago and started running a phishing scheme on me. I played along with them because I was very upset that someone actually called me on my cell phone, to burn my minutes, and trying to rip me off on top. Those people need to find real jobs.
I terminated the call so I could check them out. They kept calling thinking they had victim since I was polite and agreeable to a point. I really wished I had the authority to arrest and confine for fraud. I wanted to know where they got my information from and the said the "Data Research Center", I laughed to myself. I said that sounded like a department in most buildings! I pressed for more information and the person told me that the Data company was in Atlanta, Georgia. Also, they were located in Georgia. The other person the day before told me they were in Canada.
I asked if they had a website and they directed me to www.granteducationalresources.com. I browsed the site as I was on the phone with the person and then I got serious. I asked several questions: 1) How come you do not have a physical location of business? 2) How come all you have is this 1-866... Phone number? 3) A few pictures, graphics, and some words don't tell me anything, who are you?
At this point they realized that they were dealing with someone who was not going to go for their trick. They hung up the phone on a note like, either you are interested or not interested I thought it was funny. I just wished that other people had the courage and confidence like me to tell these people off. Wanted me to agree to pay them $298.00 for a packet of information they promised to send. The packet of information supposedly contained an application for a grant from the US Government for $5000. I just wanted to know how some non-English speaking people concluded that they knew more about the US Government...than me. They are all set to educate us about our government for $300 bucks, taxes not included.
Get a real job. And learn English while you at it. Stay away from these folks. Someone needs to report them to the Canadian government.
