Promising your a FREE GRANT - but you have to pay money up front to receive it. WHICH IS ILLEGAL.

Grant scammers generally follow a script: they congratulate you on your eligibility, then ask for your checking account information so they can "deposit your grant directly into your account," or cover a one-time "processing fee." The caller may even assure you that you can get a refund if you're not satisfied. In fact, you'll never see the grant they promise. They disappear with your money.
"Because you pay your income taxes on time, you have been awarded a $12,500 government grant! To get your free grant, simply give us your checking account information, and we will deposit the grant into your bank account!"
