“You have been selected for a 1 time Grant through the US Government for $9000” “PERSONAL LOYALTY GRANT” He said his name was “Kevin Zone” (unsure of last name but Kevin for sure) Gave me my “moneycode” and told me to call 971-768-3858 to finalize it with the Treasury Dept. i called it and he said his name was “Mark Wilson” NY Federal Reserve Bank. The money code was “R” and 3 numbers (R409) I can pickup my money from CVS or Walgreens asked if I had an ID, said I would have to register with the Federal Reserve Bank NY cuz the money would be going from NY to MN through government agencies. and register with Western Union for $200! BOTH MEN HAD heavy ACCENTS They stated that I was chosen out of 1500 to 1700 citizens due to pretty much good behavior in the last 6 months. He said since you had no bank ruptcy or criminal record in the last 6 months I allowed them to go on and on in order to get as much information as possible. I hope this helps! DO NOT SEND YOUR MONEY TO ANYONE OR GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION AT ALL key things to listen for: Money Gram or Western Union Federal Reserve Bank NY One-time Grant
