First, a lady called me and said that I'm the one who was selected for Federal Grant Money for $7,500. But before I can get this money, I have to send $289 by Western Union. $24 for sending this money. Then she provided me the Grant ID # KN202 and the call back # of 202-436-9932. I called back to this number. It was a girl name Elena Bassey. She asked me to send $650 through Western Union to Thailand. $56 for sending this money. after that, she said everything is done on her site. She gave me another number to reach 209-682-5880. It was a man this time. His name is Robbert Smith. He is a bank manager. He said if I want him to transfer that money to my account, I have to deposit $900 to his bank first. Then I sent it out. He said allow him to run this transaction for 4 hours to complete transfering. I waited him for 4 hours and 15 mins. He didn't call me back. so I call back to him for couple times but he didn't pick the phone. Suddenly, another phone call from Washington DC again call me. He is Steve Johnson. He said I have to clear out my bad credit for $1,500 to allow him to release the money to my account. He said if I don't deposit that money to clear that problem out, he will cancel that whole transaction for $9440 that I suppose to get from the government. I told him that those previous money I asked for my mom to help me to pay that. How can I have that much of money to you again. He said if I don't give him $1,500, I will cancel those money. It means I will get nothing. :( Now I'm so stressful because this problem. I don't know to take those money back and give some to my mom. Please help me out. I owe my mom for $1,000 because of that. Please..
