U.S Government Grants
Complaint 173 Details

I was contacted by phone number 202-684-3503 and told that I had been selected to receive a Government grant. The man's name was Gary (so he says) and he told me the steps to follow to get my money. First I had to send a $200.00 security deposit to Jitender Kalra in Delhi, India. I was in the Army and thought, ok it's a security deposit. So I sent the money through Western Union and was told in twenty minutes the funds would be released to my account. Well over two hours later I called them back and asked where my money was. They said hold on about ten minutes, and i ended up waiting over another hour. Finally I called and got through, and was told that I had to send $478.00 to Jitender Kalra for the taxes on my grant, and within 20 minutes I would have the money in my account. Again, desperate because of our money situation, my girlfriend and I got together and took the money out to pay. I was then told that the funds would be released around midnight of June 6th into my account. I stayed up until 1:30am and still nothing. I called "Gary" and he said give him 20 minutes and he'd get me my money. over 3 hours later I called him back and he said he was on another call the whole time!!! He is now saying I owe ANOTHER $890.00 because of my bad credit!!! I know now this is a scam. The MTCN number for the $480.00 from Western Union is 914-490-0345, and the MTCN number for the $200.00 is 676-313-7952. Please contact me at (Personal Information Removed) as son as possible with any advice! thanks guys!
