It may help prevent potential victims from being scammed if you can describe what happened in detail. I assume after you got to the WU office, the scammers refused to send the fake grant unless you wire money to them first?
just a fyi that there is a huge and never ending amount of fraud and scam calls from the " 202 " area code"............
HERE IS SOME HELPFUL INFO , SO WATCH OUT !!!
