You can report it at http://www.grants.gov which is the real site for Government grants. For future reference, most government sites end in .gov, not .org.

You NEVER have to pay a fee for a loan or a grant - NEVER.  You can report the calls to the FTC, the FBI and your state's Attorney General, but your son's money, unfortunately, is gone.

This same thing just happened to my son, they asked him to western union the $205 fee, the they needed him to W.U. $800 security deposit, then they claimed he hadt filed something out right so he was told to W.U another $900. this continued until he had withdrew a total of $3500 to send them. There was also a guy named Mike from New York federal reserve bank 1-646-808-3347 and a James Brown 1-202-407-7222. Who did you contact to report this? This Kelly Watson told him he was approved for a financial support grant.

Hello every body, the kind of story is here as I received a phone call from 12026663431. She was an Indian lady and told me that you have been selected for a reward of $8400 US Govt and you don't have to pay it back. She asked me for my Checking, debit card and routing number. I thought that its not safe to give her my debit card number. She was saying again and again DON'T WORRY SIR< ITS ALL YOUR MONEY, DON'T WORRY SIR and we will transfer this money to your account in 30-40 minutes. You have been selected among 15000 people from US Govt who have good record and no criminal record. She gave me a Grant Money Confirmation Number and the same 2024701405 phone number. She told me to talk to this Kelly Watson who will transfer this money.
I Called her at the give number and there was a lady who was saying KELLY WATSON, Sir how can I help you? I think that was also an Indian lady but with little bit good accent. She put me on hold me for at least 10 minutes and then she explained the same story about $8400. She confirmed my checking ac and routing number and told me that we will transfer this money in 30 minutes but you 1st have to send 205$ through western union.
I said alright I have won 8400$ so you can deduct that money from my reward and send me the rest of money. She said no US Govt. need this money through western union. I said I don't want to loose my 205$ to get these 8400$. Is there any proof that I have been selected along with those 15000 people? Any documented proof or any website? She gave me the website  WWW.USGOVERNMENTGRANT.ORG and she told me to check that website. Again I asked her the same thing about proof but now she was puzzled and told me that if need this money then you have to send 205$. Also let know when you are ready and call me if you want.
I did not give them my debit card. I gave them my checking ac and routing number. I changed my checking ac through calling my bank just after calling her. Then spoke to her again and again she asked me with my name after saying  hi I am Kelly Watson how can I help you. I asked her that I am from Pakistan, but you don't look like Kelly Watson. what is your correct name? She said that what you want to do with my correct name? I told her that you look like Indian and many people are getting these phone call for 8400$. Why you people are making FRAUDS? She said Sir you don't want money then again I said stop these b***s*** FRAUDS and then she cut my phone.
SOOOOOO  PLZZZZZ don't pay any attention and don't loose your money.
Please it is requested to US Govt. that take serious action against these kind of people.
THANKS

Political Call
Just recieved a call from a Washington DC number offering a $8500 grant for education or research. gave them the info for my debit card, then called my therapist to see if she thought it was a good idea. She warned that it could be a scam, so i looked up the number and found this website. I have reported this information to my bank for possible scam. maybe this time the scammers will find a hefty fine on their heads and possible prison time for abusing the poor and less fortunate people of their money.

Advance-Fee Loan Scams: ?Easy? Cash Offers Teach Hard Lessons

Looking for a loan or credit card but don?t think you?ll qualify? Turned down by a bank because of your poor credit history?

You may be tempted by ads and websites that guarantee loans or credit cards, regardless of your credit history. The catch comes when you apply for the loan or credit card and find out you have to pay a fee in advance. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation?s consumer protection agency, that could be a tip-off to a rip-off. If you?re asked to pay a fee for the promise of a loan or credit card, you can count on the fact that you?re dealing with a scam artist. More than likely, you?ll get an application, or a stored value or debit card, instead of the loan or credit card.

The Signs of an Advance-Fee Loan Scam
The FTC says some red flags can tip you off to scam artists? tricks. For example:

A lender who isn?t interested in your credit history. A lender may offer loans or credit cards for many purposes ? for example, so a borrower can start a business or consolidate bill payments. But one who doesn?t care about your credit record should give you cause for concern. Ads that say ?Bad credit? No problem? or ?We don?t care about your past. You deserve a loan? or ?Get money fast? or even ?No hassle ? guaranteed? often indicate a scam.

Banks and other legitimate lenders generally evaluate creditworthiness and confirm the information in an application before they guarantee firm offers of credit ? even to creditworthy consumers.
Fees that are not disclosed clearly or prominently. Scam lenders may say you?ve been approved for a loan, then call or email demanding a fee before you can get the money. Any up-front fee that the lender wants to collect before granting the loan is a cue to walk away, especially if you?re told it?s for ?insurance,? ?processing,? or just ?paperwork.?

Legitimate lenders often charge application, appraisal, or credit report fees. The differences? They disclose their fees clearly and prominently; they take their fees from the amount you borrow; and the fees usually are paid to the lender or broker after the loan is approved.

It?s also a warning sign if a lender says they won?t check your credit history, yet asks for your personal information, such as your Social Security number or bank account number. They may use your information to debit your bank account to pay a fee they?re hiding.

A loan that is offered by phone. It is illegal for companies doing business in the U.S. by phone to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver.

A lender who uses a copy-cat or wanna-be name. Crooks give their companies names that sound like well-known or respected organizations and create websites that look slick. Some scam artists have pretended to be the Better Business Bureau or another reputable organization, and some even produce forged paperwork or pay people to pretend to be references. Always get a company?s phone number from the phone book or directory assistance, and call to check they are who they say they are. Get a physical address, too: a company that advertises a PO Box as its address is one to check out with the appropriate authorities.

A lender who is not registered in your state. Lenders and loan brokers are required to register in the states where they do business. To check registration, call your state Attorney General?s office or your state?s Department of Banking or Financial Regulation. Checking registration does not guarantee that you will be happy with a lender, but it helps weed out the crooks.

A lender who asks you to wire money or pay an individual. Don?t make a payment for a loan or credit card directly to an individual; legitimate lenders don?t ask anyone to do that. In addition, don?t use a wire transfer service or send money orders for a loan. You have little recourse if there?s a problem with a wire transaction, and legitimate lenders don?t pressure their customers to wire funds.

Finally, just because you?ve received a slick promotion, seen an ad for a loan in a prominent place in your neighborhood or in your newspaper, on television or on the Internet, or heard one on the radio, don?t assume it?s a good deal ? or even legitimate. Scam artists like to operate on the premise of legitimacy by association, so it?s really important to do your homework.

Finding Low-Cost Help for Credit Problems

If you have debt problems, try to solve them with your creditors as soon as you realize you won?t be able to make your payments. If you can?t resolve the problems yourself or need help to do it, you may want to contact a credit counseling service. Nonprofit organizations in every state counsel and educate people and families on debt problems, budgeting, and using credit wisely. Often, these services are low- or no-cost. Universities, military bases, credit unions, and housing authorities also may offer low- or no-cost credit counseling programs. To learn more about dealing with debt, including how to select a credit counseling service, visit ftc.gov/credit.

Where to Complain

If you think you?ve had an experience with an advance-fee loan scam, report it to the FTC.

The FTC works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop and avoid them. To file a complaint or get free information on consumer issues, visit ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. Watch a video, How to File a Complaint, at ftc.gov/video to learn more. The FTC enters consumer complaints into the Consumer Sentinel Network, a secure online database and investigative tool used by hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

As i'm typeing this i'm weeping, I am impecunious my daughter has bone cancer and pagets disease so I have to pay alot of medical bills and when I received a call from the us government 202-666-8547 that I had won $8000 free loan I was sooo blithe and bliss. This woman from India, I believe said she just needed my debit card number she enthralled me with her fallacious tales, so I foolish did, then she said said to call 202-470-1405 and ask for Kelly Watson. I checked my bank account and the little money I had in there was evanescently wiped clean says strange name took out $39.99 plus another $94. So I called and asked why they took out money they denied everything! Sigh long story short, I sent $400 that I borrowed from a friend from western union because they would'nt accept PayPal which is the safest way! I was robbed by the indian people i'm aghast ed! Never saw any money!!!

These scammers are Schadenfreude an abomination :(
