I filled out a form on the site, helpinghandsact.com they called and I spoke to a woman who asked me little questions but really wanted my electric bill info, I was asking for help with a car repair. What was throwing me off was she was more concerned about my electric bill. She asked what my hardship was and I told her I needed a new engine for my vehicle. That I am on ssdi, she asked if I received medicaid or medicare, to which I said yes I receive both. she was so quick to say I was approved for 4,300 dollars without much personal information, I know that no company is giving that kinda money away freely. As I was on the phone with her I started looking it up because my guy was telling me something was off, and the first thing I found said they were a scam site. I called her out on the phone, she said we're not a scam, we help people. I said that's a lie and I read her exactly what it said on the site. I said you should be ashamed of yourself for scaming people, doing this to people who really need help! I hung up on her, I will not respond to the emails. Please be aware.
