I received a call from this number today his name was Nick Lee he claimed to be from Washington DC and part of the United States government giving away grants. Then he proceeded to tell me that in order to receive the $9,200 grant I would have to purchase an iTunes gift card and credit $200 of my own money onto it in order to activate the Grant and receive the money. So this is bs do not give your information to this scam artist!
If you feel it's a scam - - you'd be right. It's what's called an 'Advance fee scam'. Any time you are asked to pay money to get money - for ANY reason. It's a scam. Western Union is a cash wire transfer service. No real business uses this as a form of payment. It is CASH. Untraceable cash. Such services are never to be used for an internet purchase, a vacation/home rental deposit, or to send money to someone you do not personally know. It is intended to send money to family & friends (real one's). Let's take the lottery 'Powerball' as an example. If you win, do you send them money up front for the taxes? or do they take it off at the source? How about your paycheck? I'm sure you see where this is going.
Thank you MJG and You'reathief. I appreciate the fact that you were able to tell everyone what a dope i am. i am sitting on step of one room hut with cell phone provided by charity and i hope get much money from dumb peoples in us. wish me much lucky.
i dont receive a call from this no. but i got a call from a different no. telling me to call on this no. and claim a grants money of $9200.. so i called on this no. and spoke with one of the accounts officer and he told me to put down $220 as a security deposit for 30 mins. so went down to the moneygram store and made the security deposit of $220 and within 30 mins i was able to receive $9420 from them... so if you are really selected for this grants you should call them and co-operate with them.. thank you
