I received a letter in the mail stating that I had received a Home Improvement Grant. The letter stated I had until April 19 to claim the check or the check would be canceled. I called 1-289-892-3029 as the letter stated & said to ask for Matthew Robinson or Amy Taylor. When I called I spoke with Matthew Robinson he activated the check in the amount of $4940.00 and I was to Western Union $3150.00 to a lady named Nancy Keifer I was told to send $2996.00 and the rest of the $3150.00 would cover the taxes. What was left out of the 4940.00 was mind which was $1790.00.
I deposited the check on April 14th the check in the amount of $4940.00 cleared on April 18th. I withdrew the money from my account Western Unioned the money. I came home and called Matthew Robinson and gave him the confirmation number on the receipt. He told me to call him back in 30 minutes and he would let me know when my Home Improvement check for $42000.00 my total after taxes would have been $37,060.00. When I called Matthew back he told me to have 2 forms of i.D. And that it would be delivered on Thursday April 24th.
On April 21st the check in my account bounced in the amount of $4940.00 after it cleared in my account and its in the negative. The bank said it was a forged check now I have to pay the bank back that negative $3200.00. It's a scam please help.
