They jist called me and wanted personal information about my age so I told them that I was 1 year younger than I was. They called me on a different number then 206 866 5673 but then wanted me to call the 206 number with my access code. I never called them.
$10,200 is waiting for me in the federal reserve. All I have to do is register with the Grants Dept. and pay $230 to register my name and release the money that's owed to me. I told the Indian gentleman on the phone to just take the taxes out now and send me the remainder. He tells me that I have to pay the $230 or no money. already thinking that this was a scam; that just assured me that I was right.
