Thank you, Slim. These guys said it was tax free, and didn't say anything about fees, but I am hesitant to call back anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if they hit me with that on the callback, in which case I'd know for sure it was a scam.
Said I revived 7900from the federal government and tax free no need to pay back. But they needed a green dot package card and to deposit 299 so they can deposit they fULL amount..
Number called say i have tax free grant fir 7000$ and they would send it in 20 to 25 min i could receive money if i send 250 dollars on green dot i ask why they couldn't send in check or why they couldn't take 250 out the 7000$ and then he hung up this is a scam i also have notified the crime stopper
