Reserve Bank of India
Consumer Report

A man called me and told me I was to receive a $7,000 grant from the government and he needed some information to be sure I qualify. He then transfered my call to his supervisor who told me all I needed to do was Western Union transfer a donation of $130. I should have right then and there known it was a scam. After this I was then given the number for a Reserve Bank located in Washington State. The phone number was (206) 801-1701. The person who I spoke to was Steven Fleming, and he told me I just needed to pay the bank transfer fee of $520 and he would transfer the grant into my account within the hour. I told him I couldn't because I didnt have the money to pay the fee. He told me to call back when I had at least $200 dollars and then he could transfer the grant. So I transfered the money on Friday October 28. He told me the money would be in my account within the hour. When it was not I called back and told him what had happened and he told me I needed to transfer the rest of the fee for them to send the money. I told him that he had broken his word and he needed to refund me all of the money I had sent. He told me to call back on Tuesday and he would transfer the money back to me. So I did, and he said it would take 20 days to process. I told him he needed to do it today, and he hung up on my, and now when I can the number I get a busy signal.
