Complaint 9241 Details

A grant company called my fiance and told him the gov was going to give him free grant money of 7,000 if he donate 235.00 (In Do Charity) he said he didnt have the money, so another person called and said the same thing but only wanted 139.00 for a different charity, he agreed to that and the next day witch was August 3, 2011 we went to western union and paid the 139.00. The same day someone called regaurding the 139.00 and said that to load the 7,000 there would be a refunded charge of 375.00 and that if we paid it we would recieve 7,375 we didnt have that money but assuming we would get it back we went a borrowed it from a family member. The lady I spoke with Jacklyn Smith said it would take 30 min to load the oney to our debit card, so we waited and it didnt show so they next morning Jacklyn called us and said they had problems with the card and they wanted to wire the money to us and told us her mamnger would be calling us with the information. He called us and told us that in order for hi to send it to us vis western union we had to pay $800.00 transaction fee that would be refunded back and in return we would be getting 8,275 back. We told him we did not that that money and he kept telling us in order for us to get our money back we HAD to pay $800.00. My fiance got off the phone with him and called the original lady he spoke with on 8/3/11 and She said that there was no proof that we sent the money western union and that no one else could have called us from that company. We told her who we talked to, there names and numbers and how much we sent each time and agian she said there was no record of us paying that amount and she wasnt familiar with the names we gave her.
