I was contacted by a Michael Auston from 646-432-0788, claiming I would receive a government grant in the amount of $7000. He knew a lot of info about the government grant system, names, addresses, and phone numbers. I fell for the scam and made several transactions via western union to India that totalled $2000. He claimed the transactions were to cover the costs of transfering the money and that it would be fully refunded. He keeps calling me back asking me to make more transactions due to difficulty in transfering my grant. I asked questions of my own to verify his credentials that he could not answer. I know I was scammed, I just don't want it to happen to anyone else. He also spoke with a heavy Indian accent, Gary Godwin at the other number I was contacted by is also involved, probably aliases, but the other number is 646-432-0794
