I was looking for grants for school, and when these people called me they informed me that I was approved for a $5000 Government Grant and all I need to do was send them $190 to verify that it was me. I informed them that I didn't have a bank account, they said that that was fine they could do it through Western Union and all I had to do was send them the money then they would reimburse the $190 and send me the $5000 Government Grant. When I told them I could do that they had me call a different person, a Alex Hopkins who was their "Account Manager" and when I called him to get the name to send it to he wouldn't give it to me until I was at the Western Union so I called him back like 10 minutes later telling him I was at the place and the name he gave me was some bogus name In Delhi, India. I didn't send the money because this is OBVIOUSLY A SCAM! Alex Hopkins called me again today asking about the money and when I informed him that his operation was a scam and that I was reporting him he cussed me out and called me all kinds of names and claimed he was looking at me on his computer and that I was a skinny wimp and hung up on me, then called right back and told me that I needed to send the money right now. The numbers they were using yesterday were from New York and the number today was from Jamaica.
