Federal Government Grants Department
Complaint 36140 Details

On Monday Nov. 14, 2011 at 4:20 in the afternoon, I got a call from someone that said that I was awarded a Federal Gocernment grant for the amount of $7,000.00. The number that called me was 210-280-8487. The lady I talk to her name was Joyce. She told me to go to western union and send $200.00 and once they authorized my signture i would get the 7000.00 plus my 200.00 dollars back. Once i got to the western union i had to call 202-657-5251 to get the details on where to send the money. it was to a place in INdia. I keep asking is it was a scam and they keep saying that it was not. so i sent the money. Once they got the money, they told me that they couldn't send me the money till i paid my state taxes. I lost my 200.00 and that was all the money that i had. i feel like such a fool. i should have know better. I need my money back.
