Federal grant of $9000. IRS, FBI, Fed Reserve Bank, lets see, who else did they mention. hahaha.
The man I'm supposed to call back at 6pm EDT is "James 325"
Heavy foreign accent. It will only cost $250 for $9000, yesterday is was $300 for $9000. The number they originally called from is 202-796-3436 gave me a number SR777 as my Claim number. I am a female so if you are going to work this one you need to have a female call for James325 as he is the ONLY one that has my file. He said to keep this all confidential and don't tell the Wal-Mart staff anything. He would be with me step by step to make sure...blahblahblah. Call Type SCAM, not one of the below selections.
Yup. I got the same thing, same dude only I took it to the next step and got the card and did what he told me. Then I had to call the Federal Bank to "confirm more information". Then they proceeded to tell me it would now cost another $800 to get the grant. I told the lady to basically go [***] herself and demanded that I get my $250 back and she told me I'd have to call James and hung up on me. I called James and I get, "the google voice customer is unavailable." That's when I took the gift card back to the Walmart staff. I told the manager what had happened. Miraculously the money was still on the card and through some fancy footwork she managed to get the money transferred to another card that they don't have access too. I'm still out the cash, however at least I have it in store credit and it didn't end up in the hands of the scammer. Good to know I outscammed the scammer. Oh yeah, they started calling me off the hook after that. Like 9 times in a row.
Yes,they just called me posing as a federal government grants representative.I went online to double check because so many peolple are scamming nowadays.To my surprise they are foreigners, scamming peolpe.They just re-affirm why president trump is closing our borders to islamic people. They had the nerve to get mad at me because i called them out on their sh$$,thank for youre input on this site,without it i never have known.
