Yeah. So pushy lil broad rude told her I didnt stay outta trouble by falling for scams. She kept insisting it wasnt a scam n well if I give her my account info. They could get I. It. I said what if I dont want to give you that info. She continued to be rude. Definately glad I didnt give her my info.

McClain was the last name of the chick I talk to that hung up on my face after I told her I thought it was all fake

I received a call saying I won a grant for $8400 and I have them my bank account after they gave this phone number to talk to te supervisor (202) 407-7246
DC, USA and then she said I had to pay $215 to get the money so I told her I thought it was fake and then she just hung up in my face.

I just hung up with a person who said their supervisor was Kevin/Gavin Woods, and said I would be receiving a grant for having paid my taxes on time.  He called from 202-666-2294 and said I could get the $400 bucks one of two different ways, straight to my bank account or apply it to my credit card.  I gave a bogus card number and I was asked to call Kevin/Gavin Woods within the next 5 minutes and he would complete the transaction, the number that was given to me was 202-407-7246.

This happen to me today he told me to go to dollar store and buy greendot moneypak and put 220 dollars then call him back and give him the confirmation number then he would transfer the funds to my acct. Then I when online and put his number and I see all the.post about the guy Keven.'

The easiest way to stop a scam, and be protected from one is education. Read about scams, educate yourself about scams, tell your family & friends about them. Remember scam rule #1: If you have been offered a prize, gift, loan, lottery win, Government Grant, plain old free money - and you are asked to pay an advance fee to get it. Scam! Every time. Please remember NO real company, or Government Agency uses a wire transfer. Here is some information for you, and anyone else.
