User Comments
i HAD SIMILAR call $14566 using yellow ebay cards $200 up front to get my grant money and later in month or two $400 due to being out of state they couldn't transfer out of state and I couldn't pick up the money personally. A scam I just realized.
Told me the same thing that I had a grant of $14,566 and that I needed to pay $200 to receive said Grant but it's nothing but a big scam. The first caller said I could either come by their office or go to a place that has a western union or a money gram like Walmart. When calling the number they gave me they said only a Dollar store or a CVS no WalMart's. Here is all the info they gave me.
