I just got the same call today! It was a foreign guy named Marshall Bruce calling from 202-470-3911, and he claimed to be from the department of treasury. He said I was chosen to receive a grant for $8,400.00. I'm not an idiot so of course I asked all sorts of questions and it sounded legit at first, and I have a daughter to raise so I thought to myself, "omg! I could pay off this and that!" Apparently I had to send them a security deposit of $225 and then I had to talk to the bank representative that was handling my grant but had to send them $225 as well because they were going through 2 different branches. At this point I was furious but hey, the department of treasury was giving me free money! Yea right. The only thing that saved me was my bank, navy fed. Because of their policy of not allowing more than $600 a day withdraw, I still have some money left to my name. I called and they were sure it was a scam. I got on here and found the number for consumer fraud and gave them everything! Some of the other names were nancy calling from 646-217-4809. The money was wired to a Cody Cummings in Kansas City, Kansas. This made me cry and feel more than an idiot. That took $450 out of my 10 month olds mouth:_( these people are not American, they sound like Indian decent. No offense to anyone. Everyone please spread the word, as there is no way of getting my money back unless we can get enough evidence on them which will probably never happen. And some people aren't fortunate enough to jut throw away money. Please help!!!
