i recieved a call from this number from a person named john. he said he was a financial service agent from a grant company called us federal grants say i was randomly selected in a group of 1700 people that apply for a government grant for personal finances. he asked me for my banking information, my email address and my telephone number. later he told me to go to a western union to send a processing fee of 288.00 in which he said it will be refunded back to me when i recieved the grand via wire transfer for 7500 dollars. he assked me to send the money to mexico city, Mexico under a name Eduardo Solis. once the transaction was complete, he then redirected me to a woman named kiara. both of these individuals spoke with deep spanish/mexican accents. she then verified my information and claimed to proceed sending me the money through wore transfer. she then told me that the state of texas is not a tax-free state. so i would have to pay an additional "state tax fee" of 632.00. she also stated that my 288.00 was non-refundable. I did some research and foud out this was a scam. I hope you can retrieve my money for me. it was all i had.
