Just happend to me too. I said to send to Western Union and of course he gave me the 202-657-5552 for the Federal Grant Bank. What a waiste of all our time.
I got a call from 970-002, some foreign girl told me she's calling from the US Government grants department to award me 7K and i was randomly selected. She asked me if I wanted to do bank to bank transaction or receive money in cash. Of course i didn't believe this BS but kept up with it to see where she was going. I told her I wanted to receive cash so she gave me a phone number to call and a confirmation ID. I called the number 202-657-5552 and some man with very broken english answered the phone stuttering saying i've reached the US State Department. I told the man that the police is tracking them all and will arrest them all for fraud and all he said was sorry mam. Such a scam, I really hope people are not falling for this.
my wife is on the phone with them right now we told them we would send the money an that we where at the western union an that we needed the info an they gave us an name samuel something an to send it to india now i thought this was a grant from the USA why the f**** would we send india money to get money from our country something has to be done about this
