I received a call from a man with a rather heavy accent, he stated his name was Ben Parker and that he was calling to inform me that I had been selected and approved for a government grant. He said the amount of money I could receive from the grant ranged from a minimum of 5 thousand dollars, to as much as 25 thousand dollars. I had warned him that I figured it was a scam, because I dont recall applying for any grants aside from FASFA. But he "assured" me that it wasnt a scam. So I continued to give him information (most of it incorrect) and when he said he needed my credit or debit account to verify the approval fee. I didnt trust him AT ALL. So i bought one of those VISA prepaid gift cards, and the transaction was completed. He took the $3.87.. Now im waiting to see how long it'll take for me to receive this "10 thousand dollar check"..
Please do not let these people fool you
