I was contacted on 12-3-2015 by 2 different people.. First in the morning saying that I had been chosen to receive a grant for $8500 . I told the woman that I was on disability and she did not follow through with the scam and hung up. Later in the afternoon another man called saying he was with the US fractal Grant Treasury Department and I had received a great for $9000 this time. I was turned over to another person and told to pay $250 up front for transfer fee's which I would be getting back in the $9000. After the first call I went online and saw that there was really such a thing as grant's being handed out but I just didn't dig deep enough.. And these guys are really good...!!!!!
I went to Walmart. She told me to call her when I reached the parking lot and she would walk me through everything to do and she did just that. She stayed on the phone with the the whole time while I sent $250 to Greenville, SC. She gave me the name of my next contact which I called. By this time it was late in the afternoon. This is when I started speaking to Marshall Bruce. He said to give him an hour, then it was he would need the next day because it was so late. The next morning he called telling me that he had my money but NC was holding it until I paid $745 taxes on it. He could get me my money in 10 minutes as soon as I paid the taxes. I told him I knew NC law's and I had already asked if I was going to be taxed on the money and was told that I was not. He has called back still a couple of times trying to get me to still fall for this scam.. I just want my $250 and damages for what they have put me through. Claudette Wilmington, NC
