Tia is this u

I received a call from 101703 and I answered to see who it was. Upon answering I spoke to a woman with a strong Indian accent. She congratulated me on being approved for a $10,000 government grant. She gave me a callback and approval # to give for direct deposit to my pre-paid card. I went along with the call to find out more about this scam. I also gave her a card # that was not activated, then report the card stolen. I, then called the callback # 202-446-0249 and a man with a strong Indian accent answered the phone. He congratulated me on my $10,000 government grant and apologized for being rude because he talks to a lot of citizens to get money deposited. He repeatedly asked me about my employment status. Once I said, I was unemployed he put me on hold and then got on the phone asking if I get unemployment benefits. He put me on hold again, so I figured they were coming up with more scamming techniques. He got back on the line and asked my marital status, home ownership status, and what I would use the money for. These are all questions the woman asked me that called from 10173. He went on to say that there would be a $10,000 wire transfer that I do not need to pay back. After saying this, he said in order to get the money I had to pay a one time, lifetime and processing fee of $100. The $100 would be donated to the Red Cross, American Cancer Society, or American Children's Foundation for taxing purposes since I recieve unemployment benefits. He said the only way I could pay this was by a Zogo Cash Card in the amount of $100 and I would need to buy the card and stay on the phone with him for 10 minutes for the transfer to take place. I told him I didn't know what the card was and didn't have one. He continuously asked when I would be able to get one, so I made up a fake day and time. He said he would give me a call back when I got the card to transfer the money. This is a big scam and I am reporting this company to the Better Business Bureau. It is ashame that these people try to scam innocent citizen out of their money. I hope these scammer get caught and serve big time.

I was just contacted by Patrick Jackson, Who apparently said that i was picked for a 10,000 dollar grant from the U.S. Goverment. Patrick Jackson gave me a 202-446-0249 number and that I would be get a hold of the Legendary JERRY BLACK!!!. Patrick was very well douchy sounding. I called this so called 202 number, which was disconnected. After 20 minutes this so Callled "Patrick Jackson" called back and my mom awnsered by saying his 10,000 dollar grant money was a scam, and I looked it up on the internet and found this site, he gave a quick chuckle and asked what did the internet say. My mom then asked him if he is happy with his life and if he gets a kick out of this. All i can say that this Number brings up peoples' hopes. Luckly for me I looked it up when JERRY BLACKS number was disconnected. PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS DO***E BAG THAT THINKS HE IS FUNNY!! TELL HIM TO EAT S*** AND GO TAKE CARE OF HIS LAMAS!!!!!

they call and say that you have been picked from a handful of people in your area to be considered for a 10,000 grant that you dont hve to pay taxes on or ever pay  back.  They repeatedly ask if you "understand these conditions." They do not speak english very well. after she gives you a confirmation number and her "bench ID" which is 72G, she gives you their address: 200 independence ave southwest washington D.C 20201
and also her "senior account managers number" that you have to call in order to recieve your money, the number is 202-280-7382 his name is Jack Black.
They say you can recieve your 10,000 in 45 minutes if you give them your account number or it can be fedex'd to you in 2-3 business days and they confirm your adress that they have on file (which they probably googled)
in order to recieve your money you have to make a donation of 100.00 to a cancer or hiv charity, etc.
It's a scam, once i told him that i googled his name and number and that it was a scam he became very angry. I reported it to the local police. DO NOT give them any bank account info.

is it a real deal?

did u give your account number??

He called me saying that i was selected by the goverment to receive 10,000 to use it to pay med bills ,car note or to just pay bills.All i had to do  was to donate 100 to a foundation and within 2 to 3 days, i would receive my check by fx.Then  some of the gouverment officers would come to my home to look at my receipts on what i brought with the money. They were giving this money because i work part time and i'm a single parent.

If you have been scammed you may be out of luck, but report it to your local police. They may not be able to do more that alert the media, but if it gets on the news other people may get warned.

NEVER pay money to get more money. It's the old advance fee scam and it keeps on working because people are greedy and don't hear about it until it's too late.
