At first when they called, I thought it was a scam but I asked if it was and he said no. I then asked for their website and I saw that they had one. I told them I worked for the government and my bank is usaa, which is a bank strictly for military. You would think if it was a scam, they'd hang up by now but they didn't. I was convinced they were legitimate. They even gave me the number to call and reconfirm my account info and told me all they needed was $150 for a charity donation to India. The tellers name was Frank Miller. Anyway, I transferred $100 cause that's all I could get out. I called Frank back & told him I sent it. He confirmed it and said he'd call the Federal Reserve Bank in NY City. He said my money would be on my account by 11am the next day. It wasn't, I called back, he said I'd get a call from the bank in 20 mins. They called and I spoke to a Michael Alston from Federal Reserve bank. Thats when he said he needed $450 for a security deposit so I could get my $7000 grant. That's when I knew had been ripped off. Keep a lookout for these numbers: 202-499-1468-usagovermentgrants.org and 646-432-0788 (Federal Reserve Bank)
