So i get this phone call on tuesday, august 30 telling me that i have been randomly selected to recieve a $7,000 grant that i dont have to pay back or anything just send $200.00 to a charity in india for a processing fee so i sent it they immediately wanted the mtcn number for confirmation then i get a call from the'us federal bank' asking for my routing and account numbers to send me the money but would have to pay sales taxes on the money before i could get the 7,000 which would be 700 in us currency. So i sent it to the same person in delhi, delhi, india. It has been 3 days and i have yet to receive any money on top of which i keep calling the numbers back and they appear to be busy all day now. No ones answering the phone when i call from my phone but when i called the 202 621 0066 number from another phone they answer find out its me and hang up on me every time i mention the $7000 grant money. So now im out of $200 plus $10 to send it on top of half of the sales tax which is $350.00 plus $15 to send it (i told them i didn't have the whole 700 so he said they could only except half which i sent) which totals to $575.00 of my hard earned money. I asked over and over again was it a scam to get reassured that it wasnt because i was taking a chance giving this much money to get more in return. I told them i was giving up my rent money to receive this 'grant money. Please help me i need my money back as soon as possible. Don't know what to do at this point. I just feel really stupid. How could someone do that. I hope these people get found out by the real federal government and blown away for messing up innocent peoples lives such as myself. All the numbers that contacted me are as follows. 202-559-0687,202-657-6662..
