Type of a scam Government Grant
Yes, I receive a message from my friend on Facebook but come to found out they had hack her account. They were using her profile to tell me about this grant that I do not have to pay. The first agent, I deal with told me that they could help me send at first a Western Union but then told me to go retrieve and get a certain for amount for an iTunes card. I did that and they told me my package would arrive the next day. That did not happen. They said that my package was confiscated by IRS and I need to pay a large sum for my package. Then I perceive to realize something was not right. I question the agent about what happen and he began defensive. he advised me that he was transferring my account to another agent because I did not trust what he was saying.
He transfer me but before he did, he accepted the iTunes card I sent. Then when my account transfer the agent told me to send another amount in order to get this grant. Once again, I am trusting them. Once again, there was a situation with me receiving the check as promise. Then they actually send a copy of the check. Today, I ask what happen and was given this bogus lie and on top of that the agent ask me to send a more money to have the check deliver by another shipping company. This is not right and I want this company to be stop so no one else has to go through what I went through. I have several texts message from both agents regarding to what I was suppose to receive.
