Description
They were stating they were the Global Environment Facility Grant Program. If i gave $500 in gift cards last evening, then i would receive $90,000. This morning. I gave the $500. In google gift cards. Once they were given i didnt hear from anyone until today. They were trying to contact me to have fedex deliver the money. I pressed them and they said I would have to give $1200. To the fedex driver and then they would give me a government certificate that I was entitled to the money. Then, the money would arrive at another time. I just lost $500. But they tried to get 1200. Dollars from me for a free grant. $500. Is too much for a senior citizen, plus $1200. On top of that.
