Description :

My family member was scammed out of $550 today by a caller with a foreign accent saying that he was calling from the U.S.treasury department. The caller then informed my family member that he was one out of 1700 people selected to receive a $9000.00 grant if he was unemployed, with no criminal record and a US citizen who pays his taxes on time. This grant was coming from the Health and Human resources department. All he had to do was go to Walgreens and buy prepaid google play cards then scratch of the silver box on the back of card and give them the numbers. In doing so this fee would free up the money so they could wire the money to Walgreens. They wanted him to stay on the phone with them while he was buying the cards. They gave him tracking numbers and grant serial numbers. They also gave him a federal reserve bank number. The number on the phone was showing that the call was coming from Washington, DC. #202-827-6836. After the caller got $550 from my family member. They then told him after that the fact that he was going to have to pay and additional $380. of state taxes in order for them to transfer the money across state line from New Your to Louisiana. Please google government grant scams it will tell you a lot more about this scam. So if you can investigate this scam and air it to let other’s know about this and hopefully this will help to prevent someone else from being victimized by these crooks.
