Caller states that I am qualified to receive 7,000.00 of Federal grant money to be picked up at any money gram or Western Union. I should call them back when I get to the store so they can tell me what to do next. He also said that I have to pay taxes on this money which is 250.00.
They must think I'm stupid or something. I played along with his game but if they got 7,000.00 for me then they can take the 250.00 from that and send me the rest. They also said that I should get a Government Registration Card to receive this money.
Said the call was being recorded by the FBI and it was for a grant from the government for $7000 . They would send the money via western union or money gram.. this involves a hefty fee btw.... the address they tell me to make sure it's me is wrong and they continue to talk to me??? I'm pretty sure the government would question that... I started to ask questions and made him stutter and repeat specific lines from a script .. I would have had to go to the store and call him back from there to start the transfer and then I would have to pay the fee/tax and hope the money comes through... sorry not happening
