Type of a scam Government Grant
A representative from "mygovernmentgrants.org" called my brother-in-law and said that he would be receiving a $7000 grant. The catch was that he first had to pay $239 for the transaction, but that the money would be refunded when he received the grant. When I called them back to verify, the representative wouldn’t give me any real information, and then after a minute started saying that he had to go because he had a lot of important calls coming in. We kept questioning him and he hung up on us. We tried calling them back one more time to tell them that we were reporting them, and the guy who answered again got mad that we called back and said that we were disturbing him in the middle of important transactions.
