Total money lost $1,000
Type of a scam Government Grant
They have instagram followers to tell you how great of a program it is and they can get you free money. What they don’t tell you is that there is an additional fee after you have paid the first fee and your money is non refundable. First you fill out the application, you get approved, then you select the amount you want, then you go purchase that so called processing fee with ebay gift cards, you send to the so called agent, then he texts back to you that he received your payment and then tells you that UPS will be delivering your grant to your doorstep. Now a few minutes later after your payment has been processed, they now tell you that in order to get your grant, you have to pay a IRS certificate fee of an additional $5,000 fee so that your grant can be delivered ASAP. Warning people, your worst enemies can be your relatives, the most hurtful feeling of it all. Yes, I got scammed out of $1000. Truthfully, I have no one but myself to blame for being so stupid and for being trustworthy of family.
