I personally witnessed this event-

My Dad'd girlfriend got a call originally claiming that she got an inheritance from her brother who just died a few weeks prior. Throughout the day she talked to several individuals , one of whom was supposedly a law office of Davis and something. They told her there was a stipulation that she had to send them $200 via GREEN DOT MONEY PACK to be able to release the funds and it was a "secuirty deposit". After she paid via money pack they told her about 5 minutes later saying the state had put a lein on the funds calling it an inheritance tax and she had to pay the state $500 via money pack as well.  So she lost out on $700. Then they tell her now that the inheritance  is over the federal threshold of $8000 and has to be insured she needs to pay an additional $900. Supposedly her brothers son recieved the inheritance they claimed she was the last person to recieve funds. Now today suddenly the people calling are calling it a "grant".

 

I recieved a phone call telling me I qualified for a $10,000 grant but if I wanted to recieve it in cash it would go down to $9500. I was given a phone number to call with a 202 area code (washington,dc)  and to speak to an Elaina Johns, when I googled the # the # was registered to an Elaina Jones. I waited for like a half hour to call the number instead of calling it right away. The first time I called I got a man and told there was no Elaina there. I called back again and got Elaina.

She tried to tell me that in order for them to release the funds that I needed to pay a refundable security deposut due to IRS regulations for transfers from one state to another state being $5000 and my "grant" was over this amount. She said I needed to purchase a $200 GREEN DOT MONEY PACK. I told her she was innacurate as the threshold is $10,000, not $5000 at which time she said I have a problem with my listening and hung up.
