I was a victim as well over this past weekend. A lady named Michelle Williams told me I would receive a $7,000 grant from the US Government for a few different reasons. They had me send $140 via Western Union to have the money "transfered" to the US Federal Reserve Bank in New York. After I did so I then received a phone call from Nancy Smith. She stated she was from the Federal Reserve Bank, and that I needed to send $400 via Western Union to again, have the money "transfered" into my account. The total ammount being deposited was $7,400. I specifically stated that all I had left was that $400, and she re-assured me the money was being returned along with the grant. After waiting the "15 minutes" for the money to be deposited I never received it. Called her back and she stated to wait another 15 minutes. In the end the money was never given. I googled this number right away and saw all these comments. Unfortuantely at that point it was too late.
That was my Christmas money... Now i have nothing to give for presents. I am extremely upset, and I work very hard for my money. I prey that this does not happen to anyone else, and that these Scammers get whats coming to them. Absolutely TERRIBLE!!!!!!
