Type of a scam Government Grant
My Pastor sent me a message on Instagram. An organization called Homecare and Family Grant was offering an $80,000 Government Grant. I responded to the number by text. The only way to respond was by text. I received a text asking for my name address phone number and birthday. They also asked for my monthly income. I did not give them the correct amount. They requested iTunes Apple Gift Cards as a delivery fee. They wanted me to send three 100 cards, 1 $25, and $50 for security fee for the FBI to deliver the $80,000 grant. I figured it was a scam. I f you are receiving a grant you should not have to pay money. All communication was by text. I tried to call them. They would only text. I told them I would report them to the ScamPulse.com and FBI. They told me to do it. They are legitimate. I had called my Pastor. His Instagram account was hacked. They were impersonating him.
