Any time any company requires you to SEND money before receiving money is usually a scam. Exceptions would be refinancing or doing a loan modification on a house may require 1-2 points, etc.

Which is funny, because:
1) I never applied for a grant,
2) I don't know what OFID is, and
3) why would I be receiving in grant in pounds sterling rather than American dollars?
These folks need to do a better job coordinating the data in their scam E-mails before they send 'em. Sometimes they just make them too easy to spot.
