Type of a scam Government Grant
I was sent a friends request on fb from one of my friend’s who I thought was already on my list. So I accepted it. She sent me a message and asked me if I received my money yet? I wasnt sure what she was talking about she said that she won money from the empowerment government grant and the money was delivered right to her door steps. then she told me she saw my name on the list and i needed to contact bobby klein the agent in charge at 234-251-7951 so I did via text message and he stated that I was in fact a winner and if I pay 1000.00 I can get $30,000, 2,000 for 65,000 and on up. I asked my friend If i could call her and she said she just had ear surgery and can’t talk on the phone. I called her anyway and she said no she thought her account had been hacked into and she had not been messaging me on facebook. So I told Bobby Klein he was a fake and a fraud. He was very pushey wanting to know which amount of money I wanted I told him I am not interested. so later today I received a call I think the gentleman said his name was Dr. Whitman his number is 318-455-0136 and he said he was calling me regarding the grant i applied for with bobby klein. I told him I didnt apply for this and i thought it was a fraud. He insisted it was not a fraud and that bobby gave me the incorrect amount it is much larger. That he needs to know if I want it because he has to call washington dc and let them know my decision. I told him I didnt he said well bobby klein is fired and no longer working wth them since he misrepresented their company. He also said he would let the board of directors know at the meeting tonight that I declined the money. Bobby keeps calling and texting me. Wanting to know if I want the money. I keep telling him no it’s a scam. I am not sure what you can do if anything but I almost fell for this. I sure hope no one else does. I didnt give them any money.
