I received a call from an male named Larry Wilson saying that i was chosen for a $7000 grant that was all mine and did not have to pay back. I was then given a ID code and phone number to call a Tina Cooper and Henry John at 202 407 9056. They then told me i would have to send $320 via western union to a Fiona Maebhe for the transaction fee and would receive it back with my grand 45 minutes later. 45 minutes later i received a call from Henry stating that there were 10 people ahead of me so it will take 2 hours, 2 hours later i received another call this time by Tina stating i will be receiving it by 12am midnight because the system is slow. 12am came no money in my account 7am no money, 10am no money so i called the number back and Henry answered and said he had no more control so he transferred my call to a Joe Pride said to be a Federal Reserve Banker that then told me because of the state i live in i have to pay a 9% tax fee of $690 before receiving my money then i became very upset and i asked him how is that possible and it doesn't make any sense and i thought it was BS and a fraud and he then told me to shut up and i said since when does a government agent tell a customer to shut up and then he started cursing talking about my mother and ect... This is unbelievable because my money is gone and i needed that money Im broke.

  • I'm sorry but HOW could you be so stupid ?!?!?! Your last line saying it's unbelievable... well the only thing unbelievable is that you fell for it and gave your money to a COMPLETE STRANGER !! I'm sorry you lost your money.... consider it a very expensive lesson cause you're never going to see your money again. Please do yourself a favor and read up on the gazillions of scams goinjg on and never for a minute thing someone is going to just give you $7,000 !!
