I was advised that, by a phone call, I was selected to win a grant of $7000. This was because I had been prudent in paying my bills. I was given the phone number of a Nancy Cooper and advised to call asap to review the details of the grant. The first caller sounded like an American the second had an Indian accent. I called and questioned numerous times the legality of such a transaction. But was assured the govt selcts individuals to award this money. I was asked for my bank information; acct and routing number for the deposit. I was also instructed to wire through western union $260.00 which would be refunded but it was needed to release the money from the NY reserve. I completed the wire transaction to SHIV CHAN with destination India. Then told to check my acct within 30 min for deposit. I never received the money. Following day I reported it to the police. I also changed my bank acct numbers. These people continue to call with different phone numbers stating I need to pay the 10% IRS taxes first.
The bank gave me my money back. But I feel like something else needs to be done to stop this vicious scam. But what?
