American Grant Center Inc.

Review: I was called by a Representive of this agaency stating I was eligible for a $9000 grant. The process I was told had to include a $200.00 which I was told would be reimbursed to me when the Grant money was released to my back account. The $200.00 was sent via a paid debit card [redacted] over the phone to a Sharon D[redacted] ###-###-####. I was then transferred to a person named Crystal ###-###-#### who told me the money was going to be transferred to my checking account, but I had to wait. I waited closed to a 30 minutes and was told the money could not be transferred because the State of New Jersey needed $1000.00 to pay the taxes to transfer the money. I did not have that money and nor could the representive identify the agency in NJ that ask for the $1000.00. The representive stated she did not know about the additional fee which is why she did not tell prior to the beginning of the process. I had trusted these people to deliver on their promise of a $9000.00 + $200.00. I need that money immediately to cover purchases and as a result my checking account is now overdrawn by $300.00. The representive stated this was a Federal Grant but it was not clear if the representive work for the government. This has caused a lot of distress for me and I believe possible other people as well. PLease help me in this situationDesired Settlement: I would want the $200.00 dollars return and compensation for all bank fees which may total $300.00.
