Same thing, told me I got a $7000 grant from US government for paying taxes no criminal record, and needed to bring $299 to my local walmart. I called back and said I only had $180 dollars, and he pretended to call a supervisor and approve me only giving that much. Said his name was 'Logan Foster' and when I asked him where he was from and he said Madrid. I proceeded to tell him that I knew it was a scam and to go f$#% himself.
asked me to pay 299.00 to get government grants money. I did!! But that was not enough, they wanted 899.00 more to give me 3650.00$. Too good to be true.

I received a call from an unknown number and was informed that I had been selected for a $7,000 scholarship. He gave me this number to call 3606376805 and told me I would be able to pick it up at the nearest local Walmart.
