Year ago I have received message from my friend saying that she had won Government Grant in the amount of $200,00.00

I congratulated her.She said you can apply too,maybe you will win too and she gave me the agent tel.number.I applied and in very short period of time they said I am eligibale to receive $100,00.00,but I have to pay $600.00 dollars for delivery.I sent this money by money gram and it was a begining of the ripping me off.They would ask for more money to send them.They used my friend's name to incourange me to pay them money.In the end of this ordeal I found out that my friend never had won any grant they used her name, her voice to con me.I did trust my friend and gave her my personal info.Scammer used it for fake transactions to my credit card account.My" friend "convinced me everything will be legal and asked me to do some errands in order to receive faster my grants.

My debt in my credit card is 45,000.00.And my Chase bank doesn't want to help me with this debt.

They have called me almost 30 times in a 3 hour period. They tell me I have won a Government Grant. I have never let them get very far into what they are trying to tell me.

They ask for a bank account that's what they want they say your money will be wired in 24 hrs or less. They call and say its a grant that you applied for and they calling to see if you still want it they go down the details and I know when you do get grants its more than just and phone call and they won't be calling you out the blue. I ask this man was this an scam he got a little aggressive I already know better I just like to let others know of the numbers that are out here. He then said oh to receive this grant you have to pay 300 dollars to transfer the money. Well i told him if I had some money I wouldn't be talking to you taking it out of that He said we can't do that I said me either have a bless day.

A man that could barely speak English told me he was with the government, and he wanted to give me a grant.

He said the amount was for $3,400 and that I could get the money at a western union. He gave me a code MX428 and said that he was transferring me to an account verification manager. Then he gave me the wrong street address. I told him that it wasn't correct, and then he said he needed that information to verify my identity like my age. I didn't give it to him. I told him that I felt like this was a scam. He insisted he was just verifying information, then he hung up on me when I told him I didn't believe him.

I received a phone call which left a phone # to call about free money of $11,300. That phone number was 315 510-9796. On returning the call I talked to a person and he told me because I was a loyal citizen I qualified for this free money. I did not have to pay it back and no taxes would be taken. I was then instructed to call another phone #. This perso was to give me further instructions how to receive this money. That phone # was 747 666-5104 and the person I talked was named David Johns, this as the number to call back if we were disconnected . I asked to have the money sent by check which they could not do it had to use Western Union or give them my bank account # which I knew was something I was not going to do. I was instructed to use my cell phone and he was going to instructed to go to Wall Mart and buy two Itune cards, I asked how much the cards would cost which he would tell me. He did call my cell phone which I did to answer because I was checking with ScamPulse.com to see if there was anyone else who had received this type a call. After checking with the ScamPulse.com and seeing this was a scam I tried to call David Johns at the phone # he had given 747-666=5104 Oh guess what, no one was at that number you had to leave a message. As you can tell I did not go to Wall Mart to buy any ITunes cards. Because I am a loyal citizen who pays her bills I know the Government does not give free money. In all my life the Government has taken my money. This scam sounds good but don”t fall for it. The only thing I this life that is free is God’s salvation He has paid all fees.

A lady named Jessica called from the 2027070707 number and told my that I had be selected to receive a government grant in the amount of $14,589.00. In order to receive the grant I had to call one of the other numbers listed above to speak with my grant transaction specialist. I had to provide the specialist with my case reference number of SS015 and they would then tell me how to proceed. Upon calling the 2532873535 number I was put into contact with a gentleman named Travis Smith with a Badge ID and all. He proceeded to tell me in order to receive this grant I had to go through a verification process.

To do this I had to go to the nearest Dollar General, purchase a google play card in the amount of $300. He had to stay on the phone with me the entire time I drove to town and went in to purchase the card. He also instructed me that the cashier may ask for my ID for the purchase but because I live in a small town the cashier Once I did that I had to tell him the time stamp from the receipt as well as the verification code under the silver scratch-off bar. I provided him with this information and he proceeded to complete the verification process. He then said that he would need my debit card information to process the funds transfer. I again provided him with this information. He then told me that the transaction had been processed and I should be seeing the funds in my online banking. When I told him that it was not he then proceeded to tell me that the state of Texas w[censored]d the fund until the taxes, in the amount of $9,999.00 had to be paid before the state would release the funds. I told him that I did not have that kind of money. He then claimed that his department would cover whatever amount I did not have. I said ok say I could do $200 he said that would work but that I would have to go back to the store and get another Google Play card. He told me that if I did not proceed with the $200 transaction that the IRS would debit my checking account $699.00 for the taxes and that I would be arrested first thing this morning for tax fraud. This is when I figured out I had been scammed. I proceeded to tell him I was going to call the Sheriffs Dept. with him on the line and he at first said ok. Then when I went to dialing the number he hollered at me that he was just going to cancel the transaction and that the $699.00 would come out of my account in 10 minutes and the cops would be at my job in the morning. He then hung up. I immediately called the local sheriffs dept and had an officer come out and take a report and I called and cancelled my debit card. No other transactions were processed on my account.

He just ask about my day, then said he had great news about a government grants that had helped him out. Ask.if I knew Attorney Michael Snowan gave me a private cell # to call an.sign up? This is not something that friend would be talking to me about especially after midnight.

I've been approached by two people through Facebook Messenger that say that they have received money. One, paying $3000 and receiving $50000 and the other $250,000. He gave me this phone number (956)750-7503 of where to apply. I didn't call so I don't know if this is legit. So far, I don't know if there are any victims because these two people say that they did receive the money. Just wanted you to please check this phone number.

I keep getting calls from men and women saying I'm eligible for a government grant from the US Health Department. When I tell them I will not give them my driver's license number they say they will report me to the government as I was born in Mexico, and they'll have me deported.

The person said I was chosen by random to get a $30,000 Grant by the government that I didnt have to pay back. Three ways of my choice to cover costs to get this grant and one of them was to go and buy a prepaid card. They told me to call back the number as soon as we hung up.  206-880-7898 or 206-880-7887.
