I'm in the same predicament right now. This recently happened to me
I first got a call on Tuesday June 28, 2011 from a so called "Federal Grant" lady who sounded Indian with a 913-731-2675 number congratulating me about my 7,000 grants, and saying that I've qualified for a grant and ways to and to not use it and all the BS. They give me a number to call immediately. Being the situation that I am in, and how I'm going through a MAJOR financial crisis, I was very excited knowing that I will be receiving $7,000 which will be able to solve all my problems. Without thinking over it thoroughly. I immediately called a guy by the name of STEVEN JOHN with a 202-905-50678 number. He asked for all my info including my bank info, and said that I needed to send $120 to someone name Ashawni Joshi in Delhi India and the money was going to be transfer to my account few mins later. I immediately went to the western union and sent the $120.
After I send it, he called me and said that my info went to the federal bank in New York and the was going to send my money in the morning.
On Wednesday June 29th I got a call from him around 9 in the morning stating that I needed to pay attention and wait for someone from the so-called "Federal Bank" in New York to call and verify my info.
Few mins later I got a call from one Nancy Smith who also sounded like an Indian lady. The number she called me from was 646.217.0277, and said that I needed to send additional money of $412.00.
I went to the nearest western union again without thinking properly and send the money to a different name of Shiv Pal who was also in Delhi, India.
She said that the money was going to be in my account in the next 5-10 mins, and she was going to call me.
I was overly excited.
45 effin mins later I didn't get any call so I decided to call back and the number kept ringing and went to voicemail. I checked my account online and not a cent has been transfer into it.
I was highly upset and is still upset because I feel for something like this and lost $532.00.
I cried because I'm in a very bad financial crisis and is a college student, and don't even know if I'm going to be going to school next fall because I was dependent on that money to pay off some of my tuitions.
I'M WILLING TO EXPOSE THESE PEOPLE, AND I WONT REST UNTIL I GET MY MONEY BACK, OR EVEN THE $7,000 "GRANT" THAT THEY CLAIM I GOT.
I'm currently looking into getting an attorney.
Anybody please try to help so we can expose these people and get our money back.
