Complaint 343303 Details

I received a call from this number almost everyday for about a week until I finally answered. I was told I was chosen to receive $7000 in grant money he then have me a grant id# and to call the federal reserve bank to confirm it was me. I was told to receive the money I needed to send $250 and it would be deposited into my back account and of course I believed them so I sent the money through money gram. Once I sent that they called back and said because it was a large amount to transfer I would need to send $650 more but I would receive it all back. Like a dummy I sent it. Still nothing. By it being the weekend I had to wait til Monday, on Monday morning they called me back and said that I needed to pay $700 more for taxes. After I cried and cried and cried I told him that I had already sent all the money I had and that I really needed that money. He told me told the money was sealed up at the federal reserve bank and the only thing he could do was put the grant on hold til I get the rest of the money. I cried since more but he didn't care, I was able to only get $200 so I called him to let him kno and he said send that and I will put up the rest and once you receive the money send the $500 back to him and I believe him. I sent it and still nothing $1100 that I really needed down the drain, now I'm behind on all my bills and too embarrassed to tell anyone.
