I did not get the call. My best friend id and he fell for it!! in all total spend was$1500. He is a blind man who does not watch tv or listen to the news. He did not say a word to me bout it he wanted to surprise me. Now my friend is HOMELESS NOT A PENNY TO HIS NAME UNTIL THE FIRST OF JANUARY. He was evicted because he sent them his rent money thinking he was going to get it back at midnight. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS. IF ANY ONE KNOWS HOW WE CAN GET THESE FOLKS CONVICTED PLEASE HELP.

I got a call from 202-407-9198 about a government grant of 7000.000. I told the guy (John Smith) as he called himself. I told him this is another scam, he said just call back and don't waste your time or mine. Something need to be done about these scammer in this bad economy

These "middle eastern" individuals called me as well and stated they would deposit money in my account if I just paid a small fee of 320.00 to charity. I questioned them and told them they would be hearing from the FBI for frauding people, They threatned me to come to my house and blow me up. SCAMMERS!!! BEWARE!!!

PLEASE NOTE !!! THESE SCAMMERS ARE ALSO IMPERSONATING THE US GOV'T / SEVERAL GOV'T OFFICES AND PERSONS....BEWARE !!!
- new twist is they are also impersonating DEA officials with threats to arrest you unless you immediately send money via wire transfer / western union to some offshore country !!!!! obvious scam !!!
some are landlines...many are cell phones...some are spoofed and linked to offshore foreign countries !!!!
we've traced back most of these numbers to offshore foreign call centers in INDIA / THAILAND / AFRICA / JAMAICA ETC....
here's a few other numbers posted from the same area code offering a wide variety of scams / fake emails and scams after posting something on craigslist ( old scam ) ...... collecting for non existant " payday loans "....free money / scam giveaways / $1,000's in free gov't money......... etc etc.....stories change out all the time......and the usual nonsense!!!
** mysteriously call to claim they have several thousand of dollars to send you....just provide you bank account and credit card right away etc etc.........scam scam
several of these are the usual long ongoing scams such as : you have won a free walmart / bestbuy gift card....or you have won a free ipad etc......all long ongoing scams
202-621-0436 ( offshore foreign call center ? ) poor english and violent on the phone! claim to be giving away $1,000's in free cash....just give them all your personal info etc........

| DoubtingThomas 2012-04-05 23:27:49 Unknown |
I got one of these calls telling me that I was chosen from my local area for a $7000 federal grant that I never had to pay back. My radar went off right away! Sounds to good to be true??? Then's it's probably not true! I kept asking questions to see how far I could get him to go. The call came up on my caller id as NODID. I could not understand much of what the gentleman had to say and had to ask him to repeat it many times. When I questioned him over and over he was getting frustrated, but didn't give up. I told him I didn't give out my personal information over the phone to strangers; I had to research this before I did anything. He told me to call Donald Stamper, the "Grants Call Back Manager" at 202-407-9198 to verify the information and then he would call me back to give me the confirmation# I needed to get my money. He said he couldn't give me the # until I gave him my bank account information. I called the# for Donald Stamper out of curiosity, but the phone just rang and rang. I'm curious to see if the other guy calls me back. Be careful people!

Since you paid by Western Union, then in that case you have lost your money. But if the scammer has your bank information, he can try to debit your account. If you have money in there, he can withdraw it until the account is empty.
The tax ID is the account number assigned to you by your country for the purpose of identification, taxation and issuing benefits. Some examples would be Social Security or IC numbers.
| russia 2012-04-05 05:14:30 Unknown |
How is the bank going to give me my money back? They didn't take anything out of my account. It was western unioned. And what's up with the tax id. How do i know what agency issued it.
| ThinkAboutIt 2012-04-05 05:10:56 Unknown |
You can ask the bank about getting your money back. The scammer will get away with this until enough people complain and the law catches up with him, but the wheels of justice turn slow.
Beware-the scammer can use your bank information to steal your identity. You must take action right away to keep that from happening, or he can steal from you repeatedly, open accounts in your name, get in trouble with the law and they'll come looking for you, etc. You could take years to get it back, and from what I've read it is no picnic.
| russia 2012-04-05 05:00:04 Unknown |
And how do i know who issued my tax id?
| russia 2012-04-05 04:56:09 Unknown |
There is no money in my account. I spent it all to get this grant. But i already planned on closing out the account. The only info they got was my bank info. Is there no way to get the money back? How can the same guy be calling all these different people on the same number and still have not been stopped?
| ThinkAboutIt 2012-04-05 04:32:06 Unknown |
Contact your bank RIGHT AWAY-if these people have your account information, they will drain your account dry. The bank will close your account and issue you a new one. Have them look up any debits the scammer made so you can dispute the charges, and notify their fraud dept. Also contact the agency that issued your tax ID, and the credit reporting agencies (Equifax, TransUnion and Experian) to put a fraud alert on your credit report.
| russia 2012-04-05 04:18:40 Unknown |
I unlike all the others on here did not realize this was a scam. So now that i have lost $250 what do I do?
| Angel 2012-03-28 22:31:11 Unknown |
I just received a call today from 202-407-9198, they said that i qualified for a $7,000 grant and is all i had to do is go to western union and pay $180, and then they would transfer $7,000 into my account but i did not give them any kind of information. I am really wondering if this is a scam. I spoke to a Donald Stamper.
| fred 2012-03-23 00:08:40 Unknown |
still confused as to how they got my number added to their list.. SAURBH KUMAR in Delhi India is who I was asked to send a Western Union to for the amount of $280.. spoke doland staffer
| Angel 2012-03-12 20:29:08 Unknown |
Just got a call from Doland Stamper about the $7000. Well this is not true. I called the FBI.
| Trish 2012-03-12 18:10:22 Telemarketer |
Got the call from an Indian woman named, 'Mary' and said that they would deposit $7,000 into my bank account, all I had to do was call back and give the confirmation number. Fortunately, I had an old pre paid card that I no longer use and gave them that information (in case the money really was coming) and I called back and it's busy. Money would have been nice, though!
| paul 2012-03-07 23:41:54 Unknown |
I also got a call & the guy wanted to know account number or credit card info. I am sure this is a scam, gave me a name Doland Stamper. Hope law authorities catch them & put them were they belong. IN JAIL!!
| Angel 2012-02-07 17:41:44 Unknown |
called by an unavailable number telling me I was to get 1,000 posted to my checking account and given this number to call with Conf. #. Definately is a scam!

I wasnt fooled by the 7k to give out my bank information not to mention if it was the government... why dont they speak english? Has anyone who had this call have any losses? Thank you ... This for anyone getting this call is a 202-407-9198 number do not give thme your info!!!
| thadeus ballard 2011-12-14 19:31:41 Telemarketer |
just got a call from that number also Richard lee was his name
| Carmen 2011-12-08 19:23:50 Unknown |
I just got a call out of no where, and im 17 years of age. They said i qualify out of 1500 people for a $7000 grant. I dont have any type of bank account so they said they'd send cash through western union but i must pay $200 of my own money to receive it. I googled the number to see what would come up and bam, all the info i needed to know. I also figured that it was a scam because they were'nt American and im sure Americans wouldnt have Indians operating the phones so bad that you cant understand them. Hell im not going to get it.
| Student 2011-12-02 21:42:49 Unknown |
Yes, I got a call from this number and this guy said that I got a grant for 7000$ and when I ask him, why arn't I receiving a letter and not a call, he was not happy. DO NOT TAKE THIS CALL !
| joy 2011-11-29 16:32:50 Unknown |
Just got that call about the 7000 grant. I kept asking that they send a check if they were really the government because the government does not need my bank account information. He didn't like that answer and I let him do the whole scpeal and tried to be polite. Now I know it's a scam but that's just sad because he was asking how I'd spend it I said on student loans so obviously I don't have ANY money to steal sorry scammer!!
