How can we repay this scam?
How can we hassle THEM?

We got this same call on our answering machine but ignored it because we are to busy to return calls to people we do not even know. I am very glad we never checked it out. We heard about it on the news & listened to the recorded message again... We have been offered money before from some sweepstakes in London, for Home depot, Sears or Lowes, they didn't even know or tell us definately where the sweepstakes was from. They sent us a big check & told us to deposit it into our bank & then send them some money to process the remainder of the money into our account(with our account number). My husband went to another bank, not our own & opened a new account. Deposited the check & two days later the bank told us that it was not a valid check. we told them we allready new this & then the bank reported it to the federal trade commission.  When the man who we had talked to originally, called us back & wanted us to send him money & also tried assuring us that the check would clear in a couple of days, my husband told him that the check was no good & that he would not send any money to him because he was pulling a scam, the man hung up. HAH! What a DAMB FOOL he was. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO GET MONEY, TO NO ONE!!!  Now we got some lady leaving a message about some call making for $556.00 daily, to work from your own home. These people never stop, do they?    BE VERY CAREFULL

MAN I FEEL SO BAD FOR YOU. WHEN SOMEONE ASKS FOR YOU TO SEND THEM MONEY UPFRONT, THAT IS THE FIRST RED FLAG. THEY ARE GETTING RICH OFF PEOPLE WHO ARE DESPERATE & WANT MONEY. "WHO IN AMERICA DOES NOT WANT MORE MONEY"? THAT IS WHY THEY PREY ON PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WHO ARE VULNERABLE. YOU NEED TO REPORT THIS TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION. MONEY WAS EXCHANGED BY YOU & THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT. PLEASE ANYONE WHO READS THIS, DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANYONE YOU DO NOT KNOW. SOMETIMES THESE PEOPLE CALL FROM OTHER COUNTRIES & WILLING PEOPLE SEND MONEY TO THEM, THINKING THEY WILL GET RICHER. ALL THAT HAPPENS TO THESE POOR SOULS LIKE YOU IS, YOU ACTUALLY GET POORER BECAUSE NOW YOUR OUT OF THE MONEY YOU SENT THEM & YOU WILL NEVER GET IT BACK. "GOD BLESS AMERICA & ALL HONEST PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE".

just another scam

Got a call saying to go to this website, but there doesn't seem to be one! myfedmoney.com. The call said I was entitled to $2500 stimulas payment.

I also got this call from 202-280-2393. Has any one checked out the number?

I am in tha need 4 free fed money to help me at no cost. How can I get help in this program. Please email me at Bloodline_72@yahoo.com with information. Thanks again.

I received a phone call on June 29th stating that the government was giving out money in my area this week only and to go to the website "myfedmoney.com" in order to see if I qualified for up to 2500 dollars and that there would be no other notification received for this opportunity, and yes since my household has fallen on hard times I too went to the website to see if this was true and I to was directed to the goggle search page. Always skeptical of any money that is supposed to be free from the government always seem to have an attachment.  And yes I feel that something should be done to stop callers such as this one if at all possible.

For those who believe we should all begin to pray and believe that God's protection covers anyone who may fall victim to these callers.

I think you are really sweet but you just gave away $200 you won't see that 2500. Sorry. If I'm wrong please tell me so so I can do the same thing but otherwise you just gave money to a scam.

I believe this is a scam.  You should not have to send money to get money that's supposed to be free money.

I have received a call on june 30th at 12:02 pm from 202-280-2393 stating the same amount of money 2,500.00 yes I also think this is a scam as well.

Why should you have to send money to get money. They could take it out of what the say the are sending you. Its definately a SCAM.

its a little scary that you are a federal employee and you cant spell, intire is not a word, it is spelled entire. I drive a forklift.

yes i recieve the call june 30th tell me the same thing is has told all these other people how can we stop this mess . and i went into google a couple weeks ago and it was scam to it was about working from and they took $69.95 for one and a $1.95 three other time's

I received the same call on June 29th at 2:35 P.M. I can't believe the nerve of some people. Don't they know that they will get caught.

I received the same call from Alan Freidman 202-280-2393. I believe this is a scam. This man will be punished. No one who does such terrible things will get away with it. They will pay some how.

I received a call from Alan Freidman on June 29th at 2:30 P.M. He left a message on my phone. I could really use the money, but after reading all the above comments, I believe that this is a scam. I find it really sad that there are people out there that would use a financial crisis to take advantage of people that really need the money. Karma will get this man.

I received the same message on June29th. I'm glad someone has already flagged this website to let people know it is a fake. People will do anything now to scam people out of their money, but they must realize that they are going to reap what they sow! The economy is bad enough and you have these crooks out here trying to get over!

I REEIVED SEVERAL PHONE CALLS FROM THIS NUMBER STATING THE SAME THING. $2500 IN FED MONEY AND NECER HAVE TO PAY IT BACK. FOR ONE THING THE PHONE NUMBER IS A RESIDENTIAL PHONE IN DC. THE GOVERNMENT WOULDN'T USE A DOTCOM WEB SITE. AND PLEASE DONT GIVE OUT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OR USE MONEY GRAM, WESTERN UNION, OR ANY PLACE ELSE TO SEND THEM MONEY. THIS IS HOW THESE SCAM ARTIST ARE GETTING YOUR IDENTITY FOR IDENTITY THEFT. ALOT OF THESE SCAMS ARE RAN OUT OF CANADA. CHECK ANYWHO.COM, REVERSE LOOK UP. PLEASE PROTECT THE ELDERLY AS WELL. GOD BLESS.

I have not received as of July 1st. Do not fall for the scam.
The site has been pulled from the web, so I know it's a scam. Damn,I was going to buy new wheels for my Infinity. Oh well easy come easy go.

I still haven't received the money, but Muhammad said it sometimes takes a long time for processing.  I had a hard time understanding him, because he had a very strong accent.

SCAM

Im a retired NYC policeman, Im sorry you got your hopes up, but Im afraid this is not a legitimate company/person or federal agency, please do do not send ANYONE any money or release important information like your bank account, social security number, credit cards number, Banks wont even ask for this info over the phone, so always have your guard up and dont trust anyone, not even me.

I too got a call and knew right away it was a scam. My concern is for the elderly who would answer back and make a horrible decision to partake of the "free money" The elderly are more trusting since they grew up in an era where your word or handshake was your bond. Are these people being reported to any government agency? They are the lowest of the low preying on people who are desperate for any help. There is a place for them in the lowest relms of hell.

If the website was real it would end in .gov not .com
always remember that

I got a call yesterday that I missed and just heard the message left a little while ago with the first part truncated by the time it took for my outgoing message to be played first, so I didn't hear anyone's name. The number that called me was 202-280-2393, but my websearch led me to this page and with so much similarity I think it's obvious that it's the same thing.

The first thing that threw me off was that the website was a ".com" website instead of a ".gov" website. Legitimate websites with the government are always ".gov", not ".com" Does anyone remember when the Clintons were in office and www.whitehouse ".com" was around? Since then (if it's even still around) it toned itself down quite a bit, but those that remember it know exactly what I'm talking about.

Then when I typed in the website on my Firefox browser it took me to Google. So I typed in the website in the Google search. This forum was one of the sites I clicked on in my search.

The guy "Dave Smith" was either BSing to try to wake up those that had their doubts, or if he was serious is a real schmuck. As I read his post, I could tell automatically that the guy got scammed long before he mentioned sending $200.

Here's a quick guide to avoid scams:

If anyone contacts you out of the blue whether by telephone, e-mail, or U.S. Postal Service telling you that you will receive money if you send them money - IT'S A SCAM! That includes when they want you to cash bank checks or money orders or traveler's checks and then send them "part" of the money by Western Union and for you to "keep" the rest.

Legitimate sources of anything DO NOT require you to make payments first before receiving your own payment.

Thanks to everyone that posted here. I will no longer look for this website.
