US Financial Resources review: Wont return money 151

I got a call today from these people and told them to call me back in an hour, (while I research) an came up on this complaints board. I am glad I saw this. The only people saying that they got there grant money are people that are not just bad English spellers; their terrible usage of English comes through the writing (I bet they are all people in or from India that want to make it seem like this scam worked for them). They will be calling in an hour and I will let them know where to get off at.

They don't even know that there is a spell checker at the bottom of the page.

I received a phone call from a person from India claiming that I had won a grant from the federal government due to my loans that I've taken out for school. They said I had to pay $3.87 and then fill out a form with my account information to receive the grant money. The number they called me on is [protected]. Before I accepted anything I looked up the name of the company they were calling from "United StTes Financial Resources" and the first thing that came up was a scam site. When I told them I thought this was a scam they tried to reassure me that it wasn't.

I am in the same boat I think I was scammed too and it sucks I should've known

am glad to see these comments, same thing happened with me but I hanged up...its scam..be careful guys

i got suckered in to it too, but i gave them a prepaid debit card that way all i have to do is not put any money on it. so not only did they charge me $3.87 nut thats all they could get off the card. because i havent put anymore money on it, in wasnt going to give them my real account number and routing number. so they got 3.87 and nothing else

I* got the same call about given them my c.c # and i told them i was at work and he said what time do you get off and i told them 5:00 and to call me by at 5:00 and he told me that he was going to call me back at 2:00 and have my c.c ready that rite there something was not rite that was two days ago and there still calling i will not answer the phone if they call today i will let them MotherF#$*^% have it

I got a call today asking for the same $3.87 to be put on cc. I told them to call me back Thursday and now that I know this is a scam I can tell them not to call again. I don't remember filling out a grant form neither. I almost gave this India man I had trouble understanding my debit card number wihich would have gave them ### to my account. I'm a senior on a limited income. I can't afford to get scamed. Someone needs to stop them. He even gave me an address and said they were legit .it was in Utah. Seems they are giving out different addresses.

These are some nasty people to deal with. You let them start the account. They take the $3.87 as they request. Then after checking the site you find that they have had a lot of complaints. So you cancel your account. Or so you think you have and then they continue to withdrawn money from the account. It turns out after that you call them and get lied to or hung up on. They say someone will call you back, but that does not happen either.

My wife received a call from a "unavailable" number on her lunch break.. Since we have some bills we are trying to pay I told her to answer it and see who it is... the gentleman on the phone told my wife she had put in for some grants in Feb when she was deployed to Guam and that she had been accepted to receive the grants... since we knew she didn't sign up for any grants being in Guam that was the first red flag... the second flag was when he told me that the money was tax payer funded and a government backed program... my wife handed me the phone and I began to question him about his company name and jumped online as I pressed on about what his company did I found the scambook.com and this page... as I read thru while stalling I gained some information on how they worked and threw it in his face... I told him I didn't want his services to not call my wife again and take us off of his call list... he had the cahones to say " thanks for wasting my time sir"... really?... wife is taking this issue to jag... the harassment will stop and the company will cease to exist... they work off of the same business model that Enzyte used to you give them you CC and they charge you a initial fee, then there"s another fee.. Then you had to pay for 3 months worth of the pills in advance and they just kept taking peoples money and when the people would cancel and want the money back the company would keep it as long as they could.. Most of the time until the customer got a attorney... horrible business practices if you could call that a business... time to take down these corporate thieves and hold them accountable for their actions... #accountable

US Financial can eat a D***. M*********** tried to get my debit card number and I told the a****** to kiss my m*********** a*** and go straight to f****** h***. In other words without the harsh language. Please don't fall to the scam BS. Thank You

i got a phone call today from us financial resources saying i have been pre approved for a grant. i can barely understand this guy. he said that the packet will cost me $3.98 and wanted me to pay over the phone sorry i dont do that crap. than he proceeded to transfer me to another operator which he explained the same exact thing. they got kinda rude when i was thing started to tell them i wont pay over the phone

This same thing happened to me today, they have been calling me for about a week now without saying anything, I finally got the call today and they said they were from usfinancialservices.com and they got my application from the grants website.. They were two Indian guys, I was stupid enough to give them my debit card number and the sum of $3.97 was deducted, I had to call my bank to cancel my card to avoid further transactions. This is a scam, don't fall for them no matter what they say.. Insult them over the phone. Bloody Indian mother###ers.

US financial resources calls me every other day. Today I told them I was looking for my credit card. Instead, I was looking them up online. I thought they were a scam the very first time they called, but I decided to look them up and found this site. I told the thickly accented East Indian that I knew this was a scam, that I wasn't a stupid American and called him a slumdog, then hung up. I said the same thing to another guy and hung up. He actually called me back to ask why I called him a slumdog. I said, "Duh, I know you are just another con artist, "

There is another scam out there. It was also about grant money. They asked which account I wanted the money sent to. When I told him I wanted a check sent to my post office box he hung up.

Another Indian called and said he had information that I had had a surgery for a pelvic sling. They were filing a class action suit and wanted my cc so they could charge a small sum to have my name put on the list of clients. 1. lawyers do not call you to ask for a small payment to be part of a class action suit. 2.i never had surgery for a pelvic sling 3. all health information is protected by HIPAA, therefore no one can look at medical records in order to find clients for a class action suit. Attorneys do place ads on tv and in magazines and newspapers looking for potential medical malpractice clients in order to file a class action suit Currently there is an ad for those young males who took a certain medication and grew breasts.There is an ad for those women who had a pelvic sling put in and it caused problems. There is also an ad for those people who had an artificial hip put in and it does nothing but cause problems. Consumers need to keep their eyes open and look the company up on the internet to see if there are any complaints before they pull out their credit cards.

A good rule of thumb is to never give out your credit card information over the phone anyway. You really need to look into a company you find online as well. Call the Better Business Bureau. If you know of a scam, report it to the Attorney General.. The scam companies are only in business for a few months, and disappear before they can be investigated and charged with fraud.

I let her keep talking then she asked me for $3.87 which CC or my debit card number to use?

Yeah, I'm so thankful I googled this company to read all of your responses and read them out loud to her. I told her this is stinking. She hung up without even saying, "good bye"...

SCAMMMMMMM! STEALING MONEY FROM PEOPLE INDIA MAN CALL WITH STRONG ACCENT TALKING FAST DIDNT MENTION THE FEES ONLY THE $3.97 SCAMMM DO NOT FALL!

I just received a call from Hanna Novas claiming to be from US financial resources. She sounded like she was from India or the Philippines. She informed me that she had received an online application and would to offer me a free grant to use for whatever i want, business, housing assistance, school as long as its going to a legitimate cause. She read from a script, and when I asked a question she just repeated the last paragraph of the script. I entertained her by letting her prattle on. She even went as far as to say that I was lucky because I was selected to get this get this free grant. (Condescending much) then she informed that In order for me to activate my account I will need to pay 3.69. I told her that grants don't work that way n that i wasn't interested. She got her seniour supervisor on the line who proceeded to read the same script. I basically called them out as a scam and he vehemently denied it of course. When I said I was not interested in being robbed he said its is not his loss. I guess being rude and condescending is what it takes to become a seniour supervisor there..

I just received the call, refused to give cc # was sent to "supervisor" laughed at him told "super" I do not give out any numbers he only needed the $3.87 for processing. I told him he caught me without a prepaid card with $3.87. I then told him I would have to go get one. He asked how long it would take and he would call me back then. My next trip was to the computer and here I am typing my complaint.
Nothing in life is free, and now a days you have to look the gift horse in the mouth.
I'll wait for the call back, but I'm not holding my breath nor sitting by the phone I've other things I have to do. Free money would be nice after 50 years of working but lottery is the only hope!
DON'T GET SCAMED!

So I got a call from the same company. No way was I going to give them my credit card number till I legitimately looked them up and see what they were all about. I don't ever remember filling anything out like this asking for help. He told me that I had to pay 3.87. I told him that I wasn't paying. He told me I couldn't access the website till I paid and it was a one time thing. I told him that I had to talk with my husband. So, I will talk with hubby but I am not going for it. The website is www.usfinancialresources.com while looking around the terms and conditions it said for a membership after 10 days that I would be charged 59.95 and there on afterwards. So, please research a company that claims to promise you something and don't give out your CC number till you know for sure that it is legit. Thank you for your time.

They have updated their tactics. They say that I have already qualified and that I will not be charged the 60 dollar membership fee that their website has listed at www.usfinancialassociates.com. I found this website and while I was on the phone with the guy, he told me I had already qualified and that the 3.87 was for processing the paperwork with the state government..

After the initial guy, thick Indian accent, a second guy came on the phone saying he was a manager and was listening to the call. He spent about 20 minutes telling me that it is safe and I would not receive any other charges.

I told him to take my number off of their call list and that I am not interested in grants and that I am not giving them my cc number. We will see if they call back.

Also, I blocked about 10 different numbers that this company has used to contact me and after 2 weeks, they called using a number that my phone said was Unidentified caller. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFO!

I just had the same thing happen. He said I had received a grant that I had applied for online. I don't remember ever applying for a grant
online. He wanted me to pay $3.87 for processing the paper work for the state and to set up a username and password for the website
www.usfinancialresources.com. Phone number was [protected]. It sounded like a scam to me

I was just call informed that I was to receive a grant for up to 7k all they need was my account info so they can transfer the money. When I asked if I could except it online or if they could mail it to me I was told no they had to place it in my account so it would be available today. I told them there was no way I was going to give them my information, they said if I didn't they would have to say I denied the grant. I knew right there it was a scam. Right after I got off the phone I looked online and it stated this is exactly what they have been doing. I'm glad I didn't fall into there trap but it would be easy for others to believe it was real.

Do not trust anything from this number total scam. They called saying I was approved for a grant all they need was my account info and I told them I would not give it to them they can give me a web address to except it or mail it to me. They said they can't do either and they would have to say I denied the grant if I didn't give them info. I knew there it was a scam. then I went to this web sight after getting off the phone and I am so happy I didn't fall into thier trap/ Be careful

I got a call today from US Financial Resources, promising me a grant that I had applied for (I hadn't) and that I would never need to pay back. They asked for $3.87 for identifying me and for processing charges. I discerned it was a scam as the person who called me was not consistent in his statement. These are details - please note and be aware if someone calls you from the same co.
a. Call ID - Telephone # +[protected] (California)
b. The person who called me identified himself as Allan Williams and said I had qualified for a US Gov Grant, minimum of $5000. He spoke with a foreign accent, possibly Indian or Pakistani.
c. On my asking whether he represented a US Gov agency, Allan specifically said his organization was a US Federal Government organization, based in California. It bothers me that he had my name, email, address and phone no. accurately
e. I was suspicious and asked for his street address - he would not give it out on an open line 'for security' but said he would send me an email with information as soon as I paid the $3.87 over the phone.
f. When I pointed out that Gov agencies do not usually start any process with a cold-call - they always send a physical letter first and follow it up with an exhaustive bureaucratic process and that this was very unconventional, he had nothing to say. He kept insisting that I pay so that they could send out the documentation.
g. At this point, I firmly told him that I will NOT make any payments till I get at least his street address. He said he would email it to me and hung up.

Watch out. These guys don't feel right.

Yes I was call on telephone to me that i have won $3, 200 dollar for U S. Finance resource and pay a fee 3.87 and still have not recieve and money and when I cal them back at [protected] they give me the running the work around and I want my money if I won it is it mine to claim or are that a fraud?

I got a call from a man name Paul Adam who said he was for U. S. Finance resource and that I have $3, 200 and it was suppose to be
this wek and I still have not recieve anything and yes I pay 3.87 for it . the number he gave me was [protected] now it is a differnt number and they don't know Paul Adams.

I received a call this evening from an Indian dude named Malcolm (first red flag). He proceeded to tell me that he was calling from the Federal government, and that since I pay so much in taxes I qualify for a grant of $4, 500. AWESOME! So then he asked for a CC number..."it can even be a pre-paid credit card number!" I told him that I don't have a credit card...can he just mail me a check? lol I played along with him for quite some time - all the while reading the complaints on this board. So - he said that he can't mail a check - he needs a CC to deposit the money to (SURPRISE!). He said that he would even call me back tomorrow if I could get a CC! How nice of him...so I told him that I couldn't. Then we hung up. 5 minutes later he called back and said that he spoke to his supervisor and they COULD mail me a check. WONDERFUL! BUT...there is a small fee of $3.87 before he could do so. I asked him to please take the $3.87 out of the check prior to mailing it me...leaving the total of the check at $4, 496.13. We both giggled as he complimented my math skills...I then told him that the gig was up. I knew this was a scam and please take me off the call list (ok - I really wasn't that nice at this point). This is obviously a SCAM, y'all. Please do your research prior to giving any information to someone.

GOOD EVENING! I GOT THE CALL WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND I HAD SO MUCH GOING ON, THE GENTLEMAN WAS VERY NICE AND POLITE.IT WAS FROM US FINANCIAL RESOURCES ALSO SENT ME AN EMAIL CONFIRMING IT ALL WITH A PHONE NUMBER [protected] WITH AN EMAIL SUPPORT@USFINANCIALRESOURCES.COM CHARGED ME 3.87 AND IN THE EMAIL THEY WANT ME TO PAY A MEMBERSHIP FEE OF 59.95 A MONTH. I HAD SO MUCH GOING ON AT THE TIME I TOLD HIM I COULDNT TALK I WAS ON THE OTHER LINE WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY TRYING TO GET MY CAR FIXED AND I DID GIVE HIM MY CARD INFORMATION, BUT I THOUGHT JUST TO LOOSE 3.87 WASNT BAD TO GET HIM OFF THE PHONE BUT NOW HE WANTS TO CHARGE 59.95 A MONTH.THIS US FINANCIAL RESOURCE IS A RIP OFF WITH A BIG RED ALERT POSTED ON THEM. PLEASE PLEASE BE AWARE OF THEM

YESTERDAY, i'd spoke to someone by the name of KEVIN extension 506 from USFINANCIALARESOURCES, NUMBER: "they have so many different numbers" he told me i was accepted for a $4, 000 grant. so he told my information and explained to me about how it works. he asked if i had a debit card and asked for that information. So naive, i gave it to them. by this morning a charge of $3.87 and $29.85 was taken out of my account. they keep calling by different names first Kevin, Dean, Robert, and somebody else. they called back asking for the confirmation number and my social and told me in order to get the grant i would have to pay a $400 fee to receive my $5000 loan (not $4000) and i should have a check by tomorrow morning. i told him i didnt have it and he told me i need it now and that he would call back in 30 min to receive it. i told him dont worry about it and he got mad. i told him when is my money getting refunded, because they didn't inform me about that, ... he hung up in my face. and i cant call back, i tried 5 times!

Hi everyone. I just received a call from these "nice" people telling me I am approved for a financial aid. When I heard the Indian accent I started to be suspicious. I am not a racist, but... you understand. However, my boyfriend called the IRS some weeks ago and he spoke to an Indian woman, which was fine. So I proceeded anyway. That man named Marshal (pretty strange for an Indian, huh) was congratulating me for my grant approval. I kept telling him that I am not a US citizen, I am with F-visa and so on, but he said it's okay, it doesn't matter. And how stupid I was! I gave him my credit card number! Something I would never do even if I am drunk! I don't know why I did it, such a shame. At the time of speaking, I was charged $3.97 and received an email for some monthly charges (around $59 as far as I remember). While I was talking with the senior manager, because I insisted to talk to somebody else hoping to hear some real American speech, I skyped my boyfriend to tell him that I gave my credit card number and he got mad! He googled it and you know the rest. I was so angry at myself, I had to go to the bank and block the card. Don't give your card information! Just don't!

this web site is a rip off. they make people beleave they are a real grant company and they are not. they are just here to take your money. if anyone else has gotten taken by this company please call your local departments who take care of things like this. i say we all should get this company shut down. i have contact all the legal companys and turned them in. i also contacted my lawyer. then when you call back and tell them your name they hang up on you. this company is a big scam.

I just got that same call a few minutes ago and I was told that I am going to get free grant from the government to do whatever I want, but they need me to pay 3.98 and they wanted my card number. Is this a scam?

I asked if I can talk to Steven Johnson and thay transferred me to himand then I asked him a question about someone supposed to be giving me a call in two daysto confirm my grant and he hung up and I called back 5 times and every time I called back they answered and hung up on the 6th time they didn't answer nor the 7th 8th or 9th time

Thanks for the responses. You guys helped. I got a call from "John" telling me I filled out a grant application on April 2nd 2014 and told me they needed a $3.98 registration fee. The guy would not give me information to research this, nor tell me an Email will exist for this until after I sign up. I'm not about to sign up or give my card out just because some guy says it is legit. Anyway, this site helped out a lot. I actually called them back to prod them of their bullcrap. LOL I spoke to a 'supervisor' who asked me what site I got my info from and blah blah, "We are legit" etc. Eventually I told them I am going to report this as spam and the supervisor said "Ok you do that" and hung up.

10/10 would be hung up on again

My husband received a telephone call from "Kevin White" a "Verification Officer" from "US Financial Resources" stating that he was approved for a government grant in the amount between $2, 000- $20, 000 and all he had to do was verify a few things, as well as, pay ONLY $3.87 processing fee to create a user name and password in order to obtain grant information at website. This "Kevin White" clearly had an India accent and continued to assure me this was a legitament purpose and encouraged me to go online and investigate his honesty. He stated that his company did not really have a exact name but was located in "Pleasant Grove, Utah." He called from [protected]. After doing some of my own research today, I have found that my complaint matches many others even as far back as in 2012...same info., same address, same accents, same website, same $3.87 processing fee...same SCAM!
