So I didn't call the number. The lady called back and I told her that I researched up on this number "202 407 9828" and found out that it's a scam.
She initially acted stupid pretending that she didn't hear me correctly. So I told her to keep the money cuz I don't want it.
She ended with "F*** you" and hung up.

Yeah, f*** me. Thank god I looked up on the number.
And also thank everyone who testified here.

I got the call too and I don't know how they got my info such as address and name right. WHERE DID THEY GET THIS INFO FROM?

*I don't upload my details such as phone number and address online

Same thing here, some guy who said his name was David could barely speak English tells me the government has chose me and 1499 other people to receive a $7,000 grant that I would not have to pay back.  I thought this was probably a scam, so I went along with him for a while, just to see what he would say.  Then he started asking me for personal information.  I told him if he was with the Federal Government, he should already have my personal information on file.  Then he starts talking about wiring me the money through Western Union.  I told him that I didn't believe that the Federal Government would send me any money through Western Union, as they usually send you a check or do a direct deposit directly into my account.  He gave me a confirmation code of GS 801 and told me to call 202-407-9828 before 7:30PM tonight to claim my grant.  Then, I told him I thought he was trying to pull a scam on me and hung up.  He called me back five times from a blocked number, but I did not answer.  Stupid jerks!!!

a call today saying I had been chosen to receive $7000 grant money from the us government. I was then told in order to receive the grant I had to pay a one time fee of $285.at the same time I am researching the number. so I tell this female that I am speaking with that this is a SCAM and please do not call me anymore or I will contact the proper authorities. WELL!!!  I was told to contact whom ever I choose because this is not a scam, F**K  U !!!!!!!!!    U F*CKN   B**CH!!!!!!!    NO SCAM!    U B**CH!!!!!   WOW, the federal government REALLY?

I did too send the 285 and got nothing back I feel stupid for sending the cash I should of looked up all the info before sending now i know to tell them to F off thank you

I am active duty navy and received this phone call having the discussion with pay department about my current LES and I informed the civilian working an they started laughing

I received this call today 06/12/2013 and was told that. I was selected by the U.S.Federal Government to receive a Personal Benifits Grant so I took down all the info and got the name of the man I spoke with i.e.(John Gandarada) & I called my mother to see if she had ever heard of such and she said as I felt sounds like a scam so I went online to look into Personal Benifits Grants no dice on that Unicorn . So I called the number and got no answer then finally a woman answered and I couldn't make out what she said so Isaid excuse me and she hung up so I called back and an Indian man answered and asked for the I.D.# I was given and.to that Ireply tells me more about this "Grant" before I give him the # to which Iwas asked to hold. and he never returns .....

202-407-9828 is the number to call for my "free grant money." The call came in on an 888-888-8888 number. I did not give my account number and I said that I didn't know where the Western Union office was. Then, the  heavily accented woman, told me congratulations! DON'T BE FOOLED.

My wife got this phone call. They claim she won $7000 grant, which can be wire transferred or credited to credit card. They want $17 for this. They started asking more details. It is hard to believe government has no knowledge of our address and other info.

It is a scam and the more you ask questions, the louder she gets and says she's going to cancel your grant.  What BS!!!  I asked her what the number she is calling and she said 202-407-9828, so I told her to transfer me to the grant account manager and she started getting annoyed with me.  She said her name was Stacey Brown.  Hang up, it is a total scam.  The actual incoming number for (888)888-8888.  I really hope they get arrested and thrown in jail - to state that they are from our US government!!!!

 202-407-9828  is a scam do not send money or give banking info.

The call came to my house from 888-888-8888.You have 7.000 dollars in grant money from the u.s. government that you will not have to pay back. Did I want it to be deposited in my banking account or cash. iPicked cash and they gave me a number to call 202-407-9828
