Total money lost $1,700
Type of a scam Government Grant
On 4/18/16 I was told to get as much money as I could get together so that the grand could get sent right away and then I could pay what I wasn't able to pay out of the grant that was going to be coming to me. Also after talking on and off on 4/18/16 he told me if I could come up with 1300 he would personally support us with 1000.00. 4/21/16 my mother in law sent him 600.00 a total of 655.00 cause of the fees and that number is *** done with money gram also. I was told it would be here the next day around 2pm all I had to do was make sure that I paid the difference when I got the money and I agreed. On 4/22/16 he verified my address again had it right. Then I was told that it was in Houston and wouldn't be here until the next day. I was too far from Houston for them to make it that day. So, I was told 4/23/16 at 10am and be home. On 4/23/16 early in the am he sent me a message saying that the shipping manager wanted me to pay taxes on the money to have it released for delivery. I told him now I wanted my 800 back. We went around and around me saying he said no more money him saying why are you giving up I was trying to help you. He said I only needed 530.00. So my step mom paid 380.00 and I paid another 150.00. The reference number for the 380.00 is ***. I was told it was in Dallas, Tx it would make it that day cause I had paid the money. Later that evening he told me that the money was in Stephville, Tx and that is where it would stop for the night and would be here the next day in the morning hang around the house. I asked again are you sure they won't ask for more money he said I promise and it will be delivered the next day. The next day I was told it passed me up and was is Lamesa, TX and I needed to pay more money for the secure of having it delivered. I was told I needed 890.00 more. We started selling stuff in our house and got 260.00 made. I sent 240.00 on 4/25/16 *** was the number. Then my husband called his job and borrowed 200.00 more and sent that later that afternoon and the number is ***. I was told that is all I have to send no more money and it would be turned around and headed to my house. So, once again I waited it never showed up. Then I was told a guy named Jim had been lying to him and that it was now going to be unclaimed money. He wanted me to contact a Williams Benson off facebook and explain to him my story. I did that he told me I would need to pay 237.00 for the fees on a new claim. I told him I didn't have it he told me ok and would set up for me to get a refund of the money I had sent and it would take three weeks to get. The Randy guy still has been contacting me every day trying to say that I gave up and I didn't trust him and that he had helped me so much. On 4/29/16 he told me that a 4000.00 check would be coming to my house I was supposed to get my account back in the positive and then send back 3720.00. Then the new grant would be sent out. He told me the check would be here next week. I have also called Western Union and have made a report with them and will be calling Money Gram also.
