I Have a Question

someone ive known for yrs gave me this email for this grant board, so i emailed them to check it out. when they asked for my info they asked me for my password and user name for facebook, i told them i didnt feel comfortable giving that out. then they sent me a list of grants and how much it would cost, it wasnt free like grants are supposed to be and theyre not cheap either, i told him i couldnt afford them, he said to go to my bank and take out a loan to give to them and when i get the grant i could use part of it to pay the bank back, i told them to forget the grants right now, im not doing all that, this all sounds fishy to me, are they trying to scam me?
