Scam going around Bates County

The Bates County Sheriff's Office have taken several calls today regarding a new scam in our area. The caller states that they are from the Federal Government Grant Program.

They then tell the person they have been approved for a home grant in the amount of $9000.00 and all you have to do is send in a $300.00 application fee. Then after you send in the application fee they continue ask for you to pay more fees.

This is a scam. Just simply hang up the phone if you receive one of these calls. You should never have to pay money to get money in return.
