Complaint 125855 Details

I was called by this number, 202-975-0702,yesterday, June 13th, 2012 and this Indian man named James Miller said that I was qualified for a cash grant of $8,400 from the Obama administration. He told me that I needed to pay a application fee of $200 for the grant through Moneygram. I payed and he said there will be someone calling me tomorrow, June 14th, 2012, which is today. I ended up talking to an Indian woman this time from a 646-217-0277 number. She told me all this stuff that I really didn't understand, but ended up telling me that I needed to pay a deposit of $499 which again had to pay through Moneygram. I did explain to them that I was going to be a first-time father, so I really needed this money and that the money we were giving was the ONLY money we had. She said, "don't worry the money will be in your bank account by 9:00 p.m. today, just be patient". It is now 10 o'clock and still no money in my account! I am so furious and devastated, I have a pregnant wife to take care of and bills to pay, these people took the last of our savings and all of my paycheck!! I tried to get back the money from Moneygram, but was too late. Now I try to call both the numbers and they don't answer and go straight to their voicemails in which is full. I don't know what to do now except expose these heartless scammers on this website...I hope this was helpful and the person that is reading this is smart and doing there research before going forward with the cash grant scam, if not and your like me and found out after it's a scam, my condolences...
