John Martin

Marco – Oct 07, 2020

I just received a call from an “Oscar” stating he was with the government Treasury Department and that I’d been selected to receive a grant. He told me it would be deposited in the bank account or card within 30-35 minutes. He asked me for my card number and gave me instructions to contactJihn Martin and gave me an ID number. So I hesitated but called just to see what it was all about because I have been applying for various grants. He told me this is a Covid 19 Relief Grant for $18,000. While I was talking to him I googled the phone number which is (346)308-2185 and it said he’s a scam! I asked if i register on the gov

Type of a scam Online Purchase

I almost got scammed into purchasing a virus protection. This guy he kept on pushing me to get a package, so then I said to him, I’ll think about it and hung up. Then I called my local Apple computer place for them to help me since I had a virus and she told me that was NOT from Apple. So I just want to forwarn people that if your computer gets a virus and you see an 800 number to call, do NOT call that number.

Hello,

I am alright with the cost and appointment dates. However, I am having a little challenge concerning the driver that will be bringing my family to your salon. I am still at the hospital and I need you to do me a favor. The Private Charter driver does not accept credit cards and requires payment upfront via direct cash deposit into his account.

I will like you to add an additional $2000 to the total cost which you will charge on my credit card as payment for the driver that will be bringing my family for their appointments and when payment clears into your account you will deduct the cash and send to the private Charter driver bank account as his charges for handling the transport of my family to your salon.

I would have preferred to sort his payment by myself but I am presently in the hospital scheduled for surgery for my hearing impaired condition.I am willing to pay you a tip of $100 for your time if you could assist with this favor. Kindly get back with the grand total cost if this is okay by you.
