Just got a call from a woman that hardly spoke English. She said I had a Federal Grant for 7,000 dollars and I could go to any walgreens and it would be wired to me. She gave me and ID number and told me to call this telephone number and talk to the senior officer and give him the ID number then I could go to walgreens and pick up the money. First time I went along with it got the phone number and ID number never called it, they called me back 15 minutes later and asked when I was going to call the senior officer I told them I already did and was going to walgreens to pick up the money. I'm now waiting for a call back and then I will tell them the Senior Officer wants to talk to them and give them the number to the local police department. I'm tired of them calling my house.
Scam. There is no grant. Common scam originating in India and Pakistan. THey want an upfront "fee" or some kind. ONce you wire the money to them they're gone. With the wind.
