I also got the same call today.he said that i just won a grant of 9000 and gave me a confirmation number and a phone number to call (202)470-0890 and talk to amanda so i call her she told me the same thing,she also ask for my age so she said that i won a grant from the government i dont have to pay for it and to go to a cvs, Walgreens or any place that have western union  to get the green money pack for 210 dollars and call her back from the parking lot and she was going to tell me what to do next that the conversation was going to be recorded and that once the transection was done that i was going to get back my 210 with the 9000.i almost felt for it but i did started to search type in the phone number and thats how i got here.please do be careful.

I just got the call when I told her if it bring I information to the police she gave me someone else she also ask my age I said if u have all my info with the government u should no it's a scam also he said I can get the money western union when I said over 3 thousand u have to field out a compliance paper he said no that alone was a red flag I work with western union.

-The same scenario someone called gave me a conformation number and told me to call this number 202-470-0890 and ask for the manager (Amanda) then she told me to go to a CVS Walgreens or 7-11 to purchase a green dot prepaid debit card because I know that when you apply for a grant from the government you don't have to pay it back or taxes on it anyway
Plus if the government wanted to send me money they wouldn't have to verify my identity over the phone
They would just print my name on the check and send it to me
That's what my social security number is for

BIG TIME SCAM DON'T TRUST!!!!!!!!!

Received a call from this number today (202/470-0890). I was told about the $9000 and that I needed to call "Amanda" (because I wouldn't give them my bank account info) and give her this conf. number. After reading this, I'm not calling "Amanda".

they call me too

Same Here I Recieved The Same Call About Qualifying For 9000 Dollars And That I Had To Call The Manager Amanda, She Said I Had To Buy A Grren Money Pac Card And Add 210 Dollars! I Believe This Is A SCAM

I have received a call today.  The first call didn't show the caller #. Someone told me that I have been randomly chosen for a 9000$ grant with the government.  She asked me if I want to give them my account number or I prefer to receive my money by cash.  I said that I not going to give my account number.  She gave me this number: (202) 470 0890 to talk to the manager who was going to give me the whole information.  Amanda (the manager) said that I need to go the CVS or seven/eleven store and buy green dot money bac hard paper color copy for 300 $ but before buying I need to call her and she is going to tell me what should I do step by step.  I shouldn't ask anyone any thing because they can easily find out my information and get the money before I could get it!!!  This doesn't look real.  Could you find out what or who is behind this story?

I have received the  same call and the same number.  What is this?  Is it real?  I do not trust!  They told me to go to CVS or seven eleven and buy a Green money bac (hard paper color) for 300 dollars and I should cal them before buying and stay online and talk to them during whole transaction.  ?????

>>> the internet might have to run on kerosene. <<<

You mean it doesn't?!?

Yep ...
Just think,
* if Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone, we would not be bothered by all this trash!
* If Thomas Edison had not invented the light bulb, we would be watching TV or our computer monitors via candle light.
* If Ben Franklin &/or Alexander Volta had not invented electricity, the internet might have to run on kerosene.

>>> * Everything you read on the internet is not necessarily true. <<<

THAT one I don't believe, but the corollary *IS* true -- before Abraham Lincoln invented the Internet, everything was false.

They didn't call him "Honest George" for nuttin', you know.

Things to believe:

* There ain't no such thing as a free lunch (TANSTAFL)
* If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
* You have not won big bucks from an unknown government benefactor <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
* The tooth fairy really does not exist
* Everything you read on the internet is not necessarily true.
* It is illegal to pay money for a loan, BEFORE getting the loan!
* "Free Trips" are loaded with mandatory & costly extras, and you must give them your card number!
