Total money lost $1,000

Type of a scam Government Grant

I received a instant message from a friend stating that I qualified for a government grant, I followed the instructions and sent them $1000.00 in ebay gift cards, then I was told that the IRS had my package and money held hostage due to an address error. They stated that I would need to send an additional $4860.00 to get the package released,and at that time I knew this was a scam and did not send more money to them.
