I have been receiving telephone calls every day by heavily accented people claiming to be calling from the United States government.
They say the government has accepted my grant proposal and I've been awarded ten thousand dollars. I've never made a grant proposal, but I know that they aren't awarded in this manner.
They say all I must do is pay a $4.00 processing fee for the funds to be released.
I can't imagine having a job which consists of scamming people. I told one of the callers I would have to look into this more before paying the $4.00. He asked, " Sir, why would I perform a scam against you for only $4.00? What could I possibly gain from $4.00?" I told him he could purchase two forty ounce bottles of malt liquor.
Are the callers aware they are a involved in fraudulent business?
People seem to think everyone who lives in the US is wealthy, but most citizens are poor.
I am American, but I've been homeless three times in my life. My life is struggle. I have relied on the kindness of strangers for food and shelter many times. I am a hard worker, but 
I pray for the world. I pray even for these scammers who wish to steal from me. I pray for the world.
