Victim Location 43123
Type of a scam Government Grant
Health & Human Services Department called saying I qualified for a $14,589.00 grant due to paying my bills on time. I was supposed to put $300 on eBay cards to register local state authority verification. Mr John Cooper claimed he would send me the $300.00 and I would receive the $14,589.00 in ten minutes then return $300 back to him. At first i thought it was real. He asked for my bank card and CVV number. Then he asked me about my credit, how much money I had in the bank, and how much I make. He wanted me to go to Walgreens or Walmart and buy 2 eBay cards for $200 and $100. He was going to deposit the $300.00 in my account…never got it!!! So the jokes on them couldn’t get nothing out of me!! I called my bank and told them not to pay any money without my authorization. Their numbers were: 253-201-7995 and 201-724- 5824.
