You know how I know it's a scam?
1. No one in their "office" speaks English with a standard American accent. I've talked to 4 of them and they all have non-American accents.
2. You shouldn't have to pay first for a grant. That is not a thing that happens.
3. Asking for the money to be delivered via Western Union only is suspicious.
4. When I asked if I could speak to a supervisor/boss, I was told repeatedly that "this is the government, sir. We don't have supervisors/bosses." What?!
5. They told me that since I refused the offer, they would keep calling me until I accepted it. No one in the government works that hard... lol. Nor is it likely that they would get ANGRY at you for not accepting their grant. And yet the people on the phone called me all kinds of slurs and names because I wouldn't take the money. If they're just giving away money, why do they care if someone takes it???
6. I said if they have a grant under my name, please tell me my name. I want to make sure I'm the right person. They couldn't tell me my name, they said the grant was tied to my phone number... lol, makes no sense.
These people are the scum of the earth, defrauding the elderly, the gullible, etc. it's so evil.
