I was called saying i was receiving a grant for 7000.00 for home repairs.First it was call wayne bruce @(Personal Info Removed) spoke with him and it was send125.00 to alex goyal which i did then i was called by a nancy smith @ (Personal Info Removed) and demanded that i send 415 as a security deposit, and then would deposit my grant in my account. which i did she said it would be released in 30 minutes to check my bank in a half an hour which i did.NO money so i called her back and said it wasn't there someone else anwseres
d and said it would sent out between 6pm and 7pm, i said so no one will be there if it not in my account?She said no by you can call me back in the morning if there is any problems and we will return your money.Next morning no money and on one there to talk to me cause it was the weekend. Left several messages and tryed to call back monday and message was mailbox full at nancy smith and it would hang up.So i called wayne bruce back and he said he would get ahold of her and find out what happened.A few hours later i was called by james carter @(Personal Info Removed) stating he was the supervisior at the grants office that he worked directly for the treasury giving me his employee id number#149 gov id#2587AW05.and that i would be given back all the money i had paid plus my grant but they couldn't deposit it in account that it had to be done by western union.That i need to send the processing fees to send the money which was 846.00 i told him i was tapped out he insisted that i would get it back before i left western union I told him that i didn't have that much money he told me to come up with what i could and he'd work with me.I came up with 502.00 he said send it and when you receive the transfer send the remaining 344.00 back to them.So i went to Hyvee and sent the 502.00 and called him with the controll number and he took forever and then came back and said what name was on the transfer?When i looked the sender name was someone else the girl at hyvee sent it under the wrong name he said they couldn' do anything that i was going to have to resend it.Hyvee didn't think they were responsible because western said it was picked up already.I went nuts in hyvee and cause i no longer had my rent money or car payment now.James Carter said there is nothing he could do until i resent the fees.
