Total money lost $1,100
Type of a scam Government Grant
I sent this scammer $1100 via itune, stream gift card, and cash through money gram. Was going to go get a loan when the person told me that I was being scammed. My friend on Facebook sent me a message asking if I have heard of this government grant. I said no so she sent me the information saying I could receive up to $50,000. They keep calling or texting me trying to get me to send more money.

Type of a scam Government Grant
Keep getting a phone call at least twice a day from Washington State telling me that I can receive Free Grant Money from the Government. But in order to qualify a fee has to be paid. Also, no taxes are to be taken out of this "Free Money". Can’t understand what the person on the other line is saying as they speak very little English. Tried to call the number back and it rings and rings.
