Beware of a grant scam!

The Council on Financial Assistance Reform (COFAR) has received reports from a number of people regarding a grant scam. The scammers contact investigators saying they represent COFAR and want to award the investigator a grant ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, but they require a processing fee be paid first and ask for bank account information. COFAR wants people to know that they never award grants; in addition, no one from the government would ever ask for someone's bank account information for any reason.
