Phone call I received, from a (202)407-5010
Complaint 44723 Details

I recieved a phone call from (Personal Info Removed) stating their identity as an assistant of Joe Lambert about a grants money I was awarded for having a clean background in the past 6 months, along with no debt in past 6 months also. Joe Lambert is known as the supervisor and verified my name and address to have me believe the grants money I was rewarded, $7,000 and how i can recieve it the same day if I make a sercurity deposit of $190 plus the $10 fee to process this transaction through Western Union. Joe Lambert called me from another number similar to the one i provided you above, (Personal Info Removed). He said if I was able to go to a Western Union to recieve my grants. Meanwhile, I wasn't familiar of Western Union and the concequences. They provided lack of information to send them $190 of security deposit. I sent $190 to India and the receiver name is Pankaj Kumar. I have here the TCN number from the receipt of Western Union, give me a call if you need it for records. I also have the money transfer control number, (MTCN) they gave me for I can receive my grant. While I was on the phone and he gave me the MTCN number, he stated to go up to the window in Western Union and hand the lady the Money Transfer receive paper. Now I've noticed the sender information was different. The name is Jack Brown from Washington, DC he had told me thats where it was coming from. I have much more to talk about with this incident and wish they put a stop to all of it. It isn't right for those who work hard for their money, such as, myself. My name is Brandon Sepulveda and would like to hear from you soon. Please contact me ASAP. I really need professional assistance to go further into this fraud. Thanks for considering this incident, hope to hear from you soon.
