this was suppose to b e for grant money but they wanted 335 dollars it was a scam

wants $250 through Western Union for a $7000 grant supposedly because I was selected because I've paid my taxes on time-not correct, have not filed bankruptcy in the last two years, & because I dont have a crimimal record- again not correct!  Ended up hanging up on me after me questioning alot, then asking if he had heard me say that I have a relative who works for the FBI, & asking if the police were there yet.  OBVIOUSLY A SCAM

They called and called and called until i picked up the phone. So i answered one day and actually listed to what they had to say. When they started saying i was eligible to receive a 7000 dollar grant for not filing for bankrupcy in the past 6 months, having good credit , and paying my bills on time. The first person u talk to says that u dont have to pay anything, that u will just receive 7000 in the bank. But, when they transfer u to the 2nd Indian dude, he says i have to pay 280 before i get my 7000.Guys just dont listen to it like i did, i almost went to western union pay the 280 and that would have gave me 100 for a weeks worth of work. Dont do it!

Yeah, these people called me and it sounded like crap from the beginning. I actually did go to western union because it was just at the end of my street to ask them questions. They lied and said for me not to tell them it was for a grant because they would charge a commercial fee of 500 to 600 dollars. Then said for me to send the money to a name that was nothing like theirs - some foreign name and in NETAL the country. Told me I would be able to cancel the transaction if I did not see the money deposited into the account afterwards. Dont fall for it. Any gov grant would not need for you to send money first.

Yes this is a scam, I was stupid and fell for it, after I sent money they had me call the bank and they asked me to send them more money to transfer my funds. Everyone had Indian(from India)accents and no one spoke clear English.  In this tough economic time it is a shame that foreigners in our country are trying to scam the
American pulic.
