Told me he would help me get a government grant. Sent me two checks for 9K and they set in my account for 9 days. The checks were no good and the bank is telling me I'm on the hook for the money even though I never spent any of it. This all happened on October 18th.

Recieved a friends request through messenger from a family member. Family member asked me if I heard of CSBG Grant. I thought I was talking to a family member and it wasn't them it was a scammer under the name of Elliot J ********. They asked me a few questions then told me I was approved for the Grant. Then they told me I would have to send them money and within 24 hours I would recieve my money and a certificate saying it was tax free money and you don't have to pay it back. I did some research on internet found out it was a scam.

Less than a week ago, I was contacted by my former boss through FB. he told me to contact by agent John Smith from the Econimic Development Administration Program. They are asking for $4500 to pay taxes on a grant of $200,000. I am communicating simultaneously with John and Richard. They asked me a series of questions; including mothers maiden name, SS number, address, age, marital status, email address, deaf, text number, and a photo. When they got the info, they told me I was a winner, and asked for a copy of my drivers license, front and back, which I did. Then they asked if I owned or rented my home, monthly income, reason for applying for a grant - so I wrote home repairs. They are constantly persuading me to send the money, even though I tell them I don't have it. I told them I would have to ask my sisters for the money as I am on a pension. They objected and said it was very private, and not to talk to anybody about it. I told them it was a scam, and they say it's not a scam. A couple of years ago, my "cousin" contacted me saying the same thing. I knew that was a scam as she was 96 years old, then died, but they kept communicating with me.

A Facebook Friend said I could get a grant from the government, and I think it's a scam because he wants gift cards for 100 each to equal 2600, to get 90000

My brother in law suggested filling out an app for usaid to get some financial help. I was sent a specific link and when I reached out I told them who my brother was and told me they got $90,000. I was told for me to get the grant I would have to pay 1,000 dollars in gift cards, and that makes no sense. I did give them a picture or two of the ID so I am a little worried there. But it does sound fishy to begin with. I let the ScamPulse.com know

The name listed above is the individual that I spoke with in length about this. What threw the red flags on this was the following: Dear Lucky Winner you will have to make the payment of $1000 first thing on Friday and you will have to go to the Nearest store Near you and purchase an Apple gift card of $1000 and get back to me immediately.

Here's another example showing the amounts you are to pay before getting the amount you requested. Kindly, Choose your Preferable Winning Choice out of Above Prices List And Get Back to me Asap

You pay $1000 and get $50,000,00.

You Pay $1500 and get $100,000,00.

This is what Jim Brown II sent me on Facebook: No I won't and I'm wondering if you have heard about the IHSS program going on(IN HOME SUPPORTIVE SERVICE).?.The program is helping full and part time workers,retired, widowed, unemployed and disabled in the society.I got $200,000 and I'm so confused that you never hear anything about them. Should I send you the official Facebook link to apply for it also? It's real and legit I also thought it was a scam until I get the money delivered to me by the FedEx men. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087961790273

I was contacted by a person pretending to be a friend / classmate stating I qualify for a grant due to my disability. He gave me the name government agency and she said based on my income I automatically qualify for a grant of at least 60,000 but in order to receive a fed ex package I need to pay handling fee of 400.00 if I didn’t have the full amount they would accept 300.00 and once I cashed my check I could pay it off.They sent messages from 2 elderly white men saying they made partial payment and once they received the payment through fedex we could settle . They kept having people pretending to know me contact me every one giving a different amount of the processing fee.

kept insisting not a scam, had me send vanilla prepaid cards. My "package" never delivered and I finally stopped sending cards. 19k lost. now trying again but a different person wants 200.00 to generate another code for my package. I told her to go pound tar. I could really use that money, she took my life savings and I had lost my job. Rotten people they are

I posted about needing help to care for my mom- she contacted me saying that they give government grants to help people. FFR or something like that. She has a copy of my id. Jamie Adams. I asked questions and her spelling and wording was off and then said she worked with state fbi and everyone knows that’s federal. Plus agent was spelled wrong. Another person Hector contacted me about her first then sent me the link. His profile disappeared so then I knew but it was too late- she/it/ they has my personal information. They sent videos of people who don’t speak English saying and holding up checks they received from all different banks. I feel so dumb. I have copies of conversation. There’s no profile attached to it.

I was told by the Scammer that I would get $30,000 in Government Grant money, but the catch was I must pay $500 first before I could get the $30,000 , once I paid the $500 they said I'm demanded to pay them $300 for another bull crap fee and when I paid that fee they demanded me to pay $800 for another bull crap fee , and it went on and on with the same thing until I caught on to there Scam, I told them to Refund my money and they Demanded me to pay another $300 fee just to refund my money which them never did. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM. I want my $1650.
