Poeple claiming to work in Washington D,C Dept, of Education.

I have had several calls from people saying they work for the Federal Government Gant office. Each person tells me I have qualified for an educatioal grant in different amounts. I knew something was wrong in the beginning because they hardly spoke eglish. They would go on about the grant awrd. They actually would say I am now trasfuering you to the dept. Of education but before I do.I would like to help you secure your grant by asking you a few questions to help you prepare the answers I will need to make sure the lgrant is released.  They would ask a question and tell me to answer specifically with the answers they provided. They told me to lie aboutt my age. What year I was born. I wanted a bachelor degree in 5 subjects of study I would be interested in.   I told them  that lying to the federal government was a serious mistake and punishable by law. He assured me they wouldn't know. I was couched on several question and asked me to repeat the answer they wanted me to give.  After that they would tell me how much grant money I was to recieve and when. It was  reduculous. O had never apple for a grant from the hovernment. I have received 5 more calls exactly the same. The last three times o let them know they were not the only ones calling . They would say, oh no not from me. They would try to lask me the questions and before they could complete the question i would finish the question and answer back to them. They would get angry and rudley hang up.  These type of people are preditors. Most people really need the money. Most people are not rich ike donald ttump . The spokes person would say, once you recieve your grant you do not have b to for school. It can be used as you want. I know for myself I go a week at the end of the month hungry. I do not have any miney. A promise like that for funding to some people is a much needed help. Once they realize they have been scammed o know of people that have become severely depressed and have become suicidal or revert back into the lowest form of mental health. Complete isolation and dispaire.  It is truly dispicable how an individual can pill a scam like that without a second thought of how the participant recieves the disappointing news that they have been scammed . I would like to say one thing I know for sure. If something seems to good to be true it most likely is.  Thank you for this opportunity to share. I hope someday it will help another person by having been educated.   Sandra Polchies
