US Financial Services Grant Department of the Federal Government Offered me $3800 free grant money to do with as I pleased Pleasant Grove Utah
Received a phone call at my residence from unknown caller. Man said he was from the Grant Department and I was eligible and approved to receive the grant I had applied for. He asked me how I would use it: personal, education, home repairs, etc. He did NOT speak English that was easily understood, mainly due to his accent. I asked how much the grant was for and that I did not recall applying for it. He said an email address with my name in it, but it was not an email address that I had ever used. He knew my full name and home address, and obviously my phone number. I said sure, I'll take the money. He said he had to transfer me to the confirmation department. I was going to hang up but I waited. The next phone operator had the same accent. I asked again for the name of the company. He said "US Financial Services" I said where are you located; he replied, "Pleasant Grove Utah, 84062. I asked if they just call people and mail them a check for no reason and no strings attached; he said, "Yes, it is a free grant!" He asked if I wanted a paper check or direct deposit. I said a paper check. He said I would receive a paper check by mail in 3-5 days and verified my address. He said there would be a processing fee of $3.87. Again I asked where the money was coming from; he said , "the Grant Department of the Federal Government". I told him the Federal Government would have sent me a letter in the US mail. He said, "You do have a letter!" I asked for the phone number so I could call back after I found the letter (which I don't believe exists). He became very flustered and said his time was up and it was a different time where he was and he was leaving. I again asked for their phone number so I could call back tomorrow (just to get the phone number). He said, "Ok thank you" and hung up. I just googled the company and this ripoff site came up. SCAM!
