This is a scam. They want u to send 150.00 for a government grant. Then 220.00 more. And they will refund u your money thru Western Union. Plus the grant money.
this is a scam-the man asked if i want a FREE goverment grant for 4000.00, told me to go to a Western Union office and collect my money with a $170.00 to get the payment

Just got a call from this number, a Mr. Logan told me i qualified for a $5,200 loan and said i needed to spend it on school stuff or housing only. He had a good back story but ive never heard anyone with Logan in there name and work for the.government whose English was that atrocious, lol he was murdering the language. When he brought up western union i knew it was a scam so i started clowning him while acting interested, i think he was about to cry he was so mad when he hung up lol. I asked him why the.government wouldn't send me a check and expect me to have $190.00 but be giving me money? It was funny to hear him improvise in broken English. I told him hes giving his country men a bad name and he wasn't going to get his dot when he died. I think im about to prank call em abunch of times because im bored. People arent really this dumb are they?
Just got a call from Seattle (206) 906 1020 asking me to call (202) 436 9100 and get my federal government grant for $4,800 the caller spoke in a havy middle Easter accent and called me back twice figured it was a scam but reading this blog either would seem they are moving up and pretending to be the US Goverment now
