Left a message I was getting a government grant of $25,000 and I would not have to pay anyting back. Told me to call back phone number 202-470-0646 and tell them I got a call from William Smith.
I got a call from this number and talked to a guy who called himself James Eagan. He told me I was getting a $25,000 grant. He said he had already sent a wire transfer via Western Union but before I could pick it up I needed to wire him $200. I knew it was a scam and didn't send the money. This guy even gave me a fake Western Union wire transfer confirmation number for the $25,000 he said he had already sent. What he didn't know is that I was a Western Union agent for years and I know what the procedures are for sending that much money...and it can't be done that simply online like he said he'd done. I filed a fraud report with Western Union, a report with my local police and one with the local FBI office. An investigation into this scam artist is underway.
