Today 12-7-12 This guy with a heavy middle eastern accent just called me asking my name? I said yes he says you have been randomly selected by the United States Government to receive a grant of $7,800 from the U.S government grant department um..yea couldn't understand him. He says I can get the grant sent to my credit card, bank account, or Western Union. I'm like so you don't need any personal info like SSN? Everytime I asked him to repeat himself he said "See ma'am" I'm like so this is real what's your name? He says all I need to get my grant is to go to the "Western Union Store" take my cell phone, picture I.D and $225 security deposit which would be refunded and I have to pay nothing back. Before I go into the "Western Union Store" call 202-697-9989 but "What ever I do do not disclose any information about this to anyone not, family, friends or people at western union. So you mean to tell me I can't even say I've received a grant from the U.S Government grant department? He says no how soon can you get to the Western Union Store? You need to go before 7 est time. I heard him out to see what more foolishness he would say. I wasn't falling for it. He called from a 700 # and redirected me to the 202 # I called that 202 # and told them this is a scam, I don't believe you and he said ma'am who told you this is a scam? who told you this is a scam? This is Not a scam. DON'T FALL FOR THIS PEOPLE, I didn't I googled this directly after and what do you know know government grant would ever be sent to you in this way.
