Well you can use those links and they tell you where to report it. Your neighbor will not get any money, but they will con every penny that person has. Once they get their hooks in, it will be transfer taxes, bank fees, income taxes, or whatever they can think of. I'm sorry to say, but it seems your neighbor is going to learn the hard way.
Message from some one saying he was a member of the FBI and had grant money available for a price. Kept trying to talk me into giving him $300 to get $7,000 later in the day. This doesn't sound right.
The government does not call people up and offer them free money because you paid your taxes on time, have never been arrested, have paid all your bills, or whatever excuse they can make up. In order to get a grant you need a valid reason (not one of the above and not just because you need money), you have to fill out tons and tons of paperwork, wait a long time, and might not even get the grant in the end. If you are lucky enough to get the grant after all that paperwork, they do not ask you to pay taxes, transfer fees, or any other types of fees. Also, please note that the government would never ask you to pay these so called taxes or fees to some anonymous person using Western Union, Moneygram, or any of the cards such as iTunes cards which is a new favorite among foreign scammers.
Who can I report this to? I have the number. A neighbor of mine is going to send money, I asked her to give me time to find out if it was a scam, but she wouldn't listen. Said she needed the money.
