I was called on the phone and I was told that I qualified for a federal grant since I was not employed. I was told to go to Western Union and call this person and they would tell me how to send the money of $260.00 to them in order to get the grant of $7500.00. They told me I would get my $250.00 back along with the $7500.00. I did that and then I was called back by another person stating that since I live in Iowa and it is not a tax free state that I had to pay the taxes on the money. I went and sent them $460.00 and they again stated I would get my money back and the total amount I would receive would be $8200.00. It was to be deposited in my account in 20 minutes. 20 minutes later there was nothing. I called them back and they told me I had to contact the manager of the Federal Reserve bank. I did that and I was told that since the amount was over $8000.00 I had to send $850.00 to him in order for him to release the payment. I finally realized it was a scam and I called Western Union and filed a complaint, also the attorney general in the state of Iowa, the local police department and the FBI. A week later a man called my husband and told him he was granted a federal grant that did not have to be paid back. I called the authories again and filed another report. Watch out for people who state they are with the federal government as it is a fraud!!!!!! We are probably out the money and we are still trying to recover from this fraud. Pretty sad when people do this to others. We do not even have a home phone. We only have cell numbers. Watch out!
