They said the same thing to me but my dumb [***] believed them cause I am realy in need of money so they told me all I had to do was make a small contribution to poor people in india a minimum of 300 dollars and then I would receive a gov. grant for 5,000 dolars but then I believed it and did it while waiting for the check never received then I finally got a hold of them and they said the minimum was 500 dollars then I would have to make another 300 to 200 dollar contibution I was furious so I said I want my money back and that I dont want the check they then transfered me to there manager John Wilson supposedly. Well anyway I made the contribution to someone in india and and they said I can pull it back out when I received my check I was so happy but the next day I called western union and they said my money was pulled out 4:18 am in the morning so I didnt get it back so now I am still trying to get ahold of them but no answer.. Is there anything I can do I realy need to get my money back. please contact me back at
I just received that same phone call just now. They told me that I would be getting 5000 dollars and that I would need to be transferred to his boss. When he was transferring me I hung up the phone. But the "manager" called me back. He asked for my birthday, the name of my bank, and my card number. I stupidly told him the first two. I was smart enough not to tell him my card number. When I told him I would not be giving that to him, he kept saying tell me the reason why. I kept telling him that I am not comfortable with doing that. He still kept asking me what my reason was. It got to the point where I told him that I don't have to explain my reasons and then I thanked him for the offer and hung up on him. I hope telling him my birthday and the name of the bank will hurt me in the long run. I tell people things like that all the time. I also wonder if they have more important information like my ssn in their little "file."
i received a call on saturday from a man who calls himself nick foster who works for the u.s. government grant dept.. He told me that i will be receiving $5,600.00 for paying my taxes on time and then i told him that i dont have any bank account he said thats fine just pay $100 thru western union for processing fee... stupid of me i did send the money and then his supervisor john called me the catch is that all these men have a foreign accent... they told me that i will be receiving my money 3-4 hours after i make another deposit of $150.00 and so my husband and i did was we were told... we so needed money that we didnt know it was a scam... so we googled the number and this is what came up... the have been doing this to lots of people... so i called them back and told them bout this website and he told m you will see that at 10pm tonight when we drop the check you will see that we are not a fraud... it is 9:55 pm now... this is just plain stupid of me i made that mistake and know im punishing myself...
