I was contacted from CDBG that my friend referred her. Told me I qualified for a grant and that I had to send $4000 then said I must pay $2000 tax. I had already paid $4000 but did not have any more. She managed to get a further $400 and kept coming back and say another $100 will get the grant sent to you. Now it’s $300 asking for. I do not have any more money and that was my savings gone. What can I do here to get my money back? Agent Margaret Martha Martha is the contact. My name is Karin Carter #61 0405 727834

Offers grant money but requires an upfront payment. Grant size was based on the size of the up front payment.. Did not send any to them.

"They are a community based Development Block Grant program from the US FED trust fund." They say they are helping the communities with cash, workers, non workers, retired, etc. I got mine for $150,000 but moreover I paid for the case file and tax fees before my winning money was delivered to me at my door step.

They say they are the CDBG. Their phone number is 1(860)341-5355. They ask your address phone number sex if you’re married. They have 3 packages you can choose from. Pay $1,000.00 for a grant of $80,000.00 etc. they want you to go to the store and purchase a card and activate it with the money on it. I didn’t reply to the amount of grant I want, I told them I don’t have any money. They said the would deliver within 48 hours to my home address and then I can get the money card.
Then they sent me this message. Now we want to know if we have the right person and we want you to know that this is 100% real and legitimate
We will need to confirm your identity and by doing so we will need your Facebook password :
To get your identity confirmed by the federal attorney general. Well I’m blocking them now. This really told me it was a scam.

Scammer's phone406-283-0999 CountryUnited States Victim LocationNC 27401, USA Type of a scamGovernment Grant
James Williams used Barbara C******** 's Facebook page to offer me assistance with community development grant money. Barbara C******** is a member of my church so I thought it was legitimate. He took my personal information without disclosing money amount being offered. Once he said I was excepted into program he told me to send him $500.00 to receive $65.000.00 dollars. That's when I told him I have to contact ScamPulse.com OFFICE in the morning because they were closed. I asked him for his business phone number and he gave me 406 283 0999. He call me back the next day and my caller ID identified his phone number to be a Suspicious Caller. My personal information has been exposed but no money was exchanged. Please report him and advise me what to do next.
