Federal Government Grants Department
Complaint 236792 Details

I had received a call from this,, "Federal Government" place and a woman named, Jessica lee, told me i was qualified for a 7,500 grant for pretty much being a "good citizen" cause i have no bad criminal background,pay my taxes on time,and my bills and so on,by the way i could barely understand them..and that ought to be enough to tell you right there. On the other hand, the woman had told me to go to either a western union or money gram place,so i went to walmart and she told me to fill out a receive form and send form and that i would have to pay a fee of 285,the first time she told me 280,and she got caught up i n her little scheme, and i was like i thought you would just take it out of the grant money and she says and quote,"oh no,you have to pay up front",i have always been good at catching things like this cause it has happened to me before,and it also seemed to good to be true,and who would pass up that much money??I know,right? Well,i didn't fall for this,i was careful,at least i always try to be. At first i was like wow,that's cool,because i had heard about the Obama grant giveaway,but this is not it so i am just warning others, i watched something like this on 60 seconds,anytime some random person asks you to send them money to give you money,eh stay away! Besides, if it was really a grant for you to keep and not have to pay back i think the job center or something would get a hold of you,and you would have to come down there and then you would get a check or something,it just wasn't adding up.
