THIS IS A SCAM and ronald is a lying scammer shill. This is a version of the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a grant, grant paperwork, business plan, loan, scammed-money refund, lottery winnings, interest rate reduction, tax reduction, gift card, refund, doggie, cruise, vacation, free gas, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, registration, insurance, secure handling, processing, etc. They may send you a fake check, may want your credit/debit card or bank account number, or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. They can put recurrent difficult-to-cancel monthly charges or a 1-time charge on your card or bank account, and sell account info to other criminals and you'll have to replace accounts altogether. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone. If they want you to call them up for instructions, they may tell you not to discuss the wire with Western Union desk clerks but the real reason is WU clerks are familiar with these scams and will warn you not to wire the money. If you give them the WU Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) for the wire, they can pick up the money from anywhere in the world. Report to US Postal Service Inspectors https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG http://www.naag.org/current-attorneys-general.php as appropriate.
Ifell for the scam they got me for 750 dollars I wish i could get my hands on this guy it was my last and now I'm totally broke I am so hurt by this please listen to ur conscience because there is some evil people out there
BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE...I am so glad all of you posted theses messages cause I was almost taken as well..However I believe they are using a different number now because you guys caught on the number is 206-866-5654..I recieved two phone calls today one from a Paul and a second from a David K-uman where I was told that I was approved for up to $3000 dollars I said that I didnt need that much but that I would take $1000 for my needs at this time then David said all I had to do was go to a Money-Gram and send a security deposit of $145 and within five to ten minutes I would recieve the $1000 loan plus the $145 I sent back this sounded fishy to me why would I want to send money to them if I was in need of money so I told them I had to think about it and would call him back tomorrow he said that was fine and thanked me I was given the phone number above to call back and a so called physical address of 302 High School Rd. Bainbridge Washington 98110.. I then decided to call the number back from a different number (in case they had caller id) and when the guy he answered he simply said Hello no business name or anything so I lied and asked him what type of business that this was because I had a missed call from the number earlier in the day. He tells me that its US Grants and that they have free money from the goverment for US citizens in need and that im the luckiest person because they had money for me from the goverment (mind you I had not given a name or any personal info at this point just that I had a missed call from the number) I said oh im the luckiest person you dont even know who I am and why did I recieve two separte calls today stating I was approved for loans if this free money from the goverment. He got quite tongue tied trying to explain his self then telling me that they have two separte departments one for grants and one for loans and he thought I had been called for grants not loans. So I asked well if its two separte departments why is it only one number and what is the extension for the loan department..He got quite angry and hung up on me after saying fine if you dont want the loan then forget it and some other harsh words...I decided to check on them a little further and found this I am so thankful that I always think something is a conspiracy or I would have been taken as well and being a single mother with two young children it would have ruined our holiday..If someone knows how we can report them further please help because it seems they are just changing up cell phone numbers and continually robbing people of their hard earned money and causing quite a bit of trouble for struggling families...Hopefully we can stop these scamming [***]!!! They also used a total of three different company names Paul said he was from Quick Loans and David said he was from EZ Loans and when I called the number back the man Robin said it was US Grants thats just crazy!!
