Same just happened to me, same names and same number except when they said all of the crap about receiving money for paying taxes they didn't realize that I just got out of high school and never payed any taxes so I went along with it giving them fake address and names and eventually I started mocking their accents cuz I knew it was a scam and they got pissed and hung up... Serves them right

Can I ask how you have no 202 connection? I had a telezapper but it's not working anymore. Just curious, Jeff

These Bozo's have been pulling this for a while.  The problem is, not only do you get burned for their fee's, but YOU become responsible if you cash or deposit the "grant" money. Yes, you.  Please everybody, don't be taken in by people with foreign accent's with names like Peter offering you money.  This doesn't happen in real life. If it does, an attorney will be in touch with you. Use your head people. Also,  report this stuff! J

Caller said some garbage about receiving cash if I would send $199., his/her spill was a gov't grant of sorts. I asked him/her questions about the program and he said that in order to proceed further I would need to send this money ASAP thru western union. What a load of bull. So, my next question was the business address and they hung up on me. How nice!! 2 minutes later I received a call from a psychic claiming how there were people trying to scam me and she could help.LOLOL! This had to be the same people trying a different approach coercing money from me. What a dispicable, dishonest group of individuals. I told them I was reporting them as soon as I hung up the phone. Careful people.oh, by the way, psychic business name is (Psychic Readings) in Garland, Tx.

A call about getting a grant from the government and not having to pay it back it was a one time in life.  any credit  that I can have of the gran of the grant own I said no I don't have I said no I don't have a credit card

They call after 6pm and leave no message for the last 6 months. Setup for outgoing calls. I never answer, as I have no 202 connection and no collections pending. I had reported them to the BBB in June. The holidays are coming...hold tight to your cash. No credible sweepstakes, lottery nor governmental agency will ask you for cash in order to get cash or prizes.

They call me daily.  I keep asking them to repeat themselves because I can't understand what they are saying, then they hang up on me.  

They have called me twice today, Saturday.  I finally spoke to someone I could hardly understand, however we made it through the conversation. She told me that the State of Georgia did a survey of random people that had paid their taxes and had no bankruptcies and I was selected to receive $9,000 in the form of a grant.  Then they asked how I would like to receive the money.  

When I asked what kind of survey it was that qualified me, they hung up on me.
What's that about?  I guess the scam is if I were to send them money to receive the $9,000?

Scammers trying to get you hooked on lowering credit card interest which is a scammers way of saying, iwil get your personal info and scam you BIG TIME!!

Total Scam.  They don't even speak English!

the numbers 202-407-9094 and 202-2407-9056 are both scams saying you have recieved a goverment grant.

Received a call from this number saying they were from the government and I had been selected to receive a $9,000.00 grant.  When I told them I did ask for any money, they said "you don't have to pay it back".  When i said I didn't need any money they hung up.   Obviously, a scam.  Don't fall for it.

Lololol...... Dumb Asp

Sad story lady. Sounds like u are trying to scam others with that sad sad sad story of you and. The kids. You are the ripoff person we need to tar and feather

ive been getting calls for the last 2 weeks but was always at work until today and received a call from 202-407-9056. Same thing it was a man with an indian accent saying his name was "jason rogers". He said i was going to get $9,000 in free money to pay off bills, school, etc. TOTAL scam, when  asked why they were sending out all this "free money" with our government being shut down he scrambled saying yes a lot of departments were shut down but they were lucky enough to still have their funds. He then said that I was breaking up and they actually hung up on me!

Same ole same ole garbage stuf. Govt grant giving away thousands then hot a. Second call within minutes. Same two no doubt. Second caller said she was psychic calling from Dallas Texas. Offered free reading but wanted credit card number to verify my age. Sure thing, huh? Said her business was psychic readings in garland, texas

When I call back the number to see who was calling there was a no longer working message.  I am unable to answer the phone at the time of day they are calling.

Just got called by these trolls, wanted 300 bucks for me to get a grant wired to my account. Slugs need to be thrown into prison and brutalized for every person they've ripped off or tried to rip off.

DEATH TO SCAMMER TROLLS!

I just want to know who's calling from the number.

My other #972-896-3944, call me you won't be sorry!

I got a call from this number. Offering me a grant because I was such a good human being... tongue in cheek... I could tell it was a scam. I feel sorry for those who got suckered in. Why would you pay someone who calls you randomly to send you money... Then he wants me to call another number to claim the money. Broken english, Indian accent. He said his name was Michael Douglas... It's all I could do to stop from laughing. Sad that people like this prey on those who can't see through a scam like this. Don't fall for it !!

Why can't everyone that gets called by them just do what I do.  Play along with these clowns and waste their time and at the end of all the nonsense just tell them you're broke and can't send them any money.  Have fun at their expense, and remember if it sounds too good to be true then it is.

Ok all U big & little KAHUNA's, get it together already, will you? Quit wasting our time and posting the same darn garbage. We all know, it's a scam/scams like a gov't grant stuff & psychic business. I'm willing to bet its one in the same. These psychic kids do not go to school and they are always learning new ways to make dishonest money cause these creepy, disgusting psychic families could'nt make an HONEST dollar if their miserable sorry life depended on it. Have fun suckers!

Tired of the damn calls on my cell phone!!!

Oh yes, you great B.Owana, I hears youse' loud & clear!!

It's just little ole' me your friendly political birdbrain no balls politician. VOTE all these far left looks outta' office in 2014 people, cause' if you don't, the good ole' USA as we vaguely know it today might be lost forever. Do you knuckleheads hear me!!?!?

They call me daily and as soon as I pick up, they hang up
