These people have also called me at least 20 times in two days. They even called me at 11:45 last night and hung up on me. Kept asking for my routing number, promising me a 4,500 government grant. Tried to call number back and got a answering machine. I told them that I didnt have my routing number on hand  so that I could investigate them.

I am on the same boat..these trashy women or men who bothers to feed their sick appetite on adultery are so schemic, sneaky and professional when it comes to hiding. I blocked mine. Any numbers that are non existing or pretend telemarketting I blocked. There will be a time that this will happen to them too. Karma!

really tyrell lol

I actually was stupid enough to give this company $359.00 in july of 2007 thought they were real...they sent me out a package had to fill out paperwork and send it in was to recieve check within 8-10 weeks never got anything just realized and cant do anything through bank because it has been so long..both numbers that i have no longer work..1-866-569-2573 and 267-851-6441...i called new number 1-866-276-1460 this company is there just to take calls said that company went out of business in jan 2008 and they are not giving refunds...but will send out a package and a trip...What the hell I want my money..well it is my fault but they seemed real the paperwork and everything...so now i just lost $359.00 for being stupid..but think someone would have to give refund..this company was also american standard financial

OMG YES THIS IS SO TRUE THEY DID THE SAME THING TO ME , NOW THE PHONE #1866 569 2573 HAS BEEN CHANGE TO 866 276 1460 AND THEY WILL TELL YOU TO HOLD FOREVER AND NO ONE WILL PICK UP THE PHONE... PLEASE BE CAREFUL.

I received a call from First American Advisory claiming they had done research and discovered I was the victim of identity theft in the amount of $1100 against my Wa Mu account.  Like the rest of the people complaining, I fell for it.  They claimed they would take out a fee of $399 and in two weeks would send me the $1100.  Like an idiot, I gave them my banking information and was relieved of $399.  Check was made payable to PX-First American Advisory Customer Service at 866-395-2019.  I called the company, was told to leave a message and I'm still waiting for an answer.

If I send in $359, I would receive back $4500! now the company has claim to be bankrupt and out of business! I think its a fraud because the people I spoke with are rude and cant tell me anything about my order! gave me the run arounds for 3 months now! They say I cant get my refund back, but when they called they said I was intitled to a refund if I wasnt happy with my order. What am I suppose to do?

They got me too! now they are claim to be bankrupt and whomever has taken over now is very rude and cant give me any information about nothing. How do I get a complaint and what shall I do?

I DONE THE SAME THING LAST MONTH AND I AM LOOKING AT THE SAME 1866#.

ARE U SERIOUS

I got played.., from  americanstandardfinancial cant we do something about this

Good News.. My son's fiancé was able to recoup the full amount from the bank and for a 10.00 bank fee they will block all transactions from that party for the next 6 months. I suggested that she close that account and open a new one.
My advice to her and to anyone else willing to listen:
NEVER DO BUSINESS OVER THE PHONE WITH ANYONE THAT CALLS YOU.
Simply tell them, I don't do any kind of business over the phone and then hang up.
If you're interested in what a person is selling,hang up,do your research and if it's legit..contact THEM.
Good Luck to all.

My son's fiancé was contacted by "American Standard Financial" (866)395-2019 about a government grant. They had all her personal information including the name of her bank as well. They also mentioned a 359.00 processing fee.
Not realizing it was a scam, she told them she would think about it and asked them to call her back later this month. Lo and behold an unauthorized charge was taken out of her bank out by ASF for more than 359.00! So far,Academy Bank has been very unhelpful.At this moment I'm trying to help her recover her money from the bank. She is going in the morning to fill out an affidavit at the bank to try and recoup her losses. Does anyone have any suggestions?

one of those person call me too but it was a guy at first.they say i need to pay 359.00 for processing my paperwork and they will refund my money bac.so i waited a month and i never got the package so i call them and they give me a tracking number but then it wasnt valid so i call them bac but they say that they cant go to ups site from the office right now...so they hung up and i try to call bac but it was always busy.ppl if u could track them down plz let me know.anyways if u track them down..could u do something bout it like get ur money bac?

on jun 12 I got a phone call from asf offering a us grant for 4,500 and it would only cost 359 dollars for processing fees. it took about a month to receive the forms to fill out. the forms said that the grant wasnt guaranteed.To get a refund I needed to send the forms back.I did so. After serveral phone calls and threats they said I would receive the money back by oct18. I will let you know.The numbers I have are: 450-633-0238 answering  service for this company, 866-569-2573 asf. My wife supposidly talked to a supervisor by the name of Susan King. She said they are having a lot of trouble with their systems and refunds. I feel we have been scamed, but we will see. We are going to put the pressure on the answering service. thanks  don and paula

HEY ABBY
I USE TO LIVE IN BELLINGHAM WA. YES IT HAS HAPPEND TO ME TOO THEY GAVE ME THIS FAKE TRACKING # TO LOCATE MY LETTER. I REALLY WANT TO CATCH THEM.NOT SURE OF HOW TO DO IT. BUT I AM GOING TO WORK HARD TO HAVE THEM CAUGHT.

i was one of the ones like sweet with 3 kids i could really use the 4500.oo dollars.  gave them my info and they never took 357.00 dollars out so i called them and they said i canceled my request when i never did such a thing.  so while i was on the phone with them i looked them up online and saw all these reports and the accented lady said they were people waiting on their paper work because after they process our info it gets forwarded to another company. so it sounded like a scam and i hung up.
does anyone know what can be done abuot this.

So I got a call from them and they said I won a grant. I was happy. so as the time went along, i noticed that they needed my personal info such as my bank account number and they became very agressive when I acted like I didnt know what it was. I played along and gave them a made up one and then hung up when he transferred me over to this lady. They called back and each time they did, I acted like a different person. I acted like someone who couldnt speak english and then I acted like a polica officer lol. That s*** was funny!!! he got super pissed and eventually they stopped calling.I eventually told him that I knew that they were a scam and that if they called again I would report them to the police. I guess it worked because they have stopped calling me since then.

My husband received a call today, he qualifies for a grant for 4500, just give the routing number of our checkbook to pay a $350 fee.

Luckily he called me to ask for the routing number.. and of course as soon as I started asking questions about who is this company ... (american standard financial from philadelphia) ... she told my husband that she has no time and if he didn't give her the routing number NOW she will close his file and cancel it.
She said that her number was 866-569-2573 . I called it and pretended to be a 'new' customer looking to apply for a grant. The woman got nervous and told me that no- she could not give me any information such as their address, phone number of the processing department( she was only customer service) she told my husband that they were a governtment agency, told me that they were not...

DEFINATELY a SCAM...

These people have been calling me from the new number 270-477-3736, last week I had a notice from my bank that there were unauthorized attempts to access my bank account, even though I have never spoken with these people, so I am wondering if it is related. I have called back twice and told them to stop calling, but the calls continue to come in, either they hang up or no one speaks.

yup....these people are rediculous.  the new number is 270-477-3736, and the supposed cust. service # is 866-569-2573.  i was stupid...hopefully not too many more ppl are.  i just spoke with them at 540pm  wed 9/5/07.  these ppl really aught to be taught a lesson.  i really need money to improve my business, and i really thought that this was the answer....well  just another sucker.  things like that can be devistating.  good luck to anybody else dealing with these cons

I fell for this just today.  I called my bank right away to see if they could help they are going to do everything they can to help stop the payment I am going to go in and have my account number changed.  HOw long did it take them to take the money from your account?

i recieved a call from a lady with a very heavy accent promising the same--4500 dollars for a processing fee of 359.00.  I gave all of my information before i had a chance to think about what i was doing.  They company has since taken its 'processing fee' with no results as to when the money will be sent. i have called daily and they keep telling me that next week i will have the paperwork to receive my grant.

I received a call from this number today and I didn't answer my phone,because, the number didn't look familiar to me.

I get at least one call everyday from this number, but as soon as I answer they hang up

I live in Minneapolis MN. I have been receiving these calls many times a day. I was told I would receive a government grant, I asked what I had to buy she said nothing. She asked me how I would spend my $4,500 and I told her I didn't want to tell her that. She told me about the one time fee. I asked her WHY I was receiving a government grant and she said because I had paid my taxes for at least 5 years, my cost of living in my state had increased and my income had not. At that point I informed her that my income HAD increased well over 20% each year for the last 5 years to which she replied "very good for you sir" and hung up.

If anyone has been trying to reaching to reach these people... the # to reach them is 866-395-2019 or their email address is asfcustomerservice@gmail.com.

I received the same call from "American Standard Financial." I just wanna say thanks for posting it somewhere that they were fraud before it was too late for me.

I received a call from this so call company and they request banking information for a trade off for $4500.00 for $395.00 they are crazy and need to be arrested it's crime I will contact Yahoo and the authorities here in GA.

I also received a phone call from this company. I was to receive $4500.00 or even more after they received a $359.00 payment from my bank account. The phone number they were calling from is (425)-963-7342 which is located in TUKWILA,WA. The woman I talked to was very business like sounding by giving me I.D.#'s and verification #"s also. I really believed this was the real thing. If anyone has received Federal Grant Money from this business please let everyone know what your results were. The name of this company the woman workrs for is called "AMERICAN STANDARD FINANCIAL". After futher investigation I haven't found any information stating this is a real business. The name of the woman I talked to is Jessie John I.D.#199. The woman has a foriegn accent and makes you feel like this is the real thing. I called my bank and cancelled both of my accounts based on what I've found and read on several Web sites. If for any reason your not sure about a business you can type in their phone number in the Web search and read for yourself what I have been learning about this company.
