Called me saying that I had been selected for a grant of $10,200 from the government and I had to pay a $180 processing fee to recieve the money by wire transfer within 30-40 minutes. Both people that I had talked to had an indian accent and was hard to understand.

DON'T DO IT, BEST CASE THEY BEAT YOU OUT OF $180 ON THE PAYPAL GREEN DOT CARD; WORST CASE, THEY GET YOU TO PUT UP THE $700 INSURANCE REQUIRED BY THE DEPT. OF STATE. THEN THEY WILL SUGGEST YOU VERIFY BY CALLING THE DEPT OF STATE AT 202 697 9074
