I received a phone call this morning and they said I was elected to re eive a free grant from the US Government because I have nit filed.bankruptcy and paid my bills on time.  These people need to be stopped with this garbage of scaming people out of their hard earned money.

I received a call from SHANE MORRISON (222) 223-333 saying I was 1 of the 200 people that was lucky enough to be selected to get a grant of $6,700 from the government. He gave me a file number and told me to call WILLIAM HOBBS (202) 738-1027 in order to claim my money. When I called this William Hobbs guy, he told me to pay a ONE time tax fee of $300 through Western Union to NISSI N. COLEMAN and I would get that amount back with the $6,700, once the transaction was done I will receive the money in 30 mins. After almost 3 hrs, FRANCES FLOYED (206) 923-9577 claiming to be from the U.S. Federal Bank saying that she has the money all ready for me but the bank is giving her problems and is charging a tax of $800 but she was able to get it lowered for me to $480, send that and I will receive my money within 30 mins. Again, I naively fell for the scam. I sent the money. She called me back in the morning saying that there is insurance because there are news about online scamming so the bank is being very cautious, telling me I need to send another $500. Out of frustration, I confronted her about this being a scam; she has the audacity to ask, what was wrong with me? If this is the first time I've been approved for a grant? When I ask for the money that I paid back, she said I would get it back with the grant money. I told her I don't even want the grant anymore, just give me back what I paid, she then said she'll cancel everything it if I don't want the grant and I will not get my money back. I'd lost $840 in total and I needed that money to purchase a plane ticket to begin my new life. If you receive a call from anyone saying you've been qualified for a grant or that you owe the government money, DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!!

Just pack up all the money in your pockets and send it via Western Union to N. Uther Luzer and I'll be sure and send you a boatload of cash because I have so much money I have to give it away to total strangers.

Don't worry about my location, because I can pick up (your) money anywhere in the world.

Tomorrow, we'll get started on emptying your bank accounts.

P.S. If you're so lonesome that you'll talk to ANYONE and do everything they say . . .

I got same phone call just now from a 211 number. You should of looked online first under scams. You would of found out all about Nigerian scammers and their bag of scam tricks. Sorry you lost all that money!
