Government Grant Scams
Although government grant scams have been around almost as long as the government itself, the majority of the sites being advertised today didn't exist before the November 2008 election.

Stacey said that I was selected to receive a $7,000 grant and had to call 202-470-0037 and give my grant code in order to receive the money.
I called the number and was told I could receive the money in a direct bank deposit, on a credit card, or as cash. i said I wanted cash, because I was not going ot give out any information that they don't already have.
The lady (foreign accents for both women and very hard to understand, sound Indian), told me the money would be sent through Western Union and that I would have to pay a $250 processing fee.
This is where it got confusing. I think I had to send them $250 in order for the "Federal Reserve Bank" to process the transaction to send me the $7,000. The $250 also would go to a charity.
She got very upset when I started asking why I would need to send this money. I asked her to send the $7,000 and then I would pay the $250 from that money. I also asked, if the $250 was a processing fee, why is it going to a charity?
