W They called me claming to be work for the US goverment, and that I was chosen to receive 7,000 dollars. When I asked why they chose to give 7,000 to me they said, "because you have no criminal records, we are sending you 7,000 dollars, in hope that you will use this money for good deeds."
I paused at how stupid that sounded, and then said, " I'm sorry, what was the name of this agency again, but she said, " We are not an agency, I work for the USA goverment!" She would not give me any name, none. She then continue to say, " Now to receive your money (the 7,000 ), she through in there again, you must go down to a Western Union, and bring "250 in cash" ; now this sounded like she was part of the mafia ready to take money off me. She continued to say, "after you bring the "250 in cash" then have your ID on you and call me back for further instructions. ........yah.
I decided to investigate this further. So I called up Western Union, and asked if they have a policy saying, that receivers have to pay money, 250 dollars to be exact. The opperator said, "No! You only need a ten diget number for the sender, and your ID to receive cash." This was a sign!
I decided to called her ( the fake USA giving govorment lady) back to question her even further.
Asking her why would I need 250 in cash if Western Union say that I don't need one to pay to receive money? She grow angry and said, "you have to go to a Western Union store like Walmart, or walgreens (in a demanding voice she continued) bring 250 and call me for further instructions.
I continue my investigation. ....... discovering that not only does walmart not need money to receive money from someone else, but Walgreen doesn't even send or receive money transfers.
Yes this is indeed a fake donation of 7,000, And anyone willing to fall for it deserve to have two hundred and fifty taken.
