I was duped into sending$99.00 dollars to kuljit Singh in India. I was called and told I had been granted a government grant of $7,000. and needed to send this money as a processing fee for the Indo-American Charity, which is legit. I wondered why an individual picked up the money. The women who called said her name was Jessica. The man, definitely from India , said he was Alex Williams. He told me to hang on as the money would be sent. Later on, I received a call from the above number saying it was Nancy and she was from a Government Bank. She said she would put $7,349 into my account.However, I was to send $325 as a security deposit. This time it was to go to a Ram Singh in New Delhi, India. I refused and was told there would be no "free" money for me then. After I didn't comply, I was bombarded with calls that I didn't anwer. I also received a call the next morning from Nancy saying that since I didn't comply, I get no money. I did contact the BBB and the FTC and gave them the details as well as numbers and "names". I think they had been contacted previously as they didn't seem surprised. I don't know why I fell for it the first time for the $99.00. I guess we learn by our mistakes.
i got a call from 2026210886 offering $7000.00 federal grant, when I told them, grants aren't just given out, you have to apply for them, I have not applied for one....sounds fishy. Anyway, i went along, first they ask for your bank info, which i did not provide, i requested a check.....ok, then here is the catch, they asked if I may donate $99.00 to a country of my choice, they provided me with Pakistan, Sri Lanka, or India. But I had to give or shall I say donate $99.00 first before they release the $7000.00....so I think when something is too good to be true its not......I also checked if there is a US grant office....NOTHING...so you be the judge
