He said you will received a gov't grant of $10,000. prior to depositing to you account check card o any account, you have to pay $150.00 fee.

Got the same call, gave me call back # 202-559-0678 about getting grant for 10000 incheck, they had my phone number and address and name. asked me to listen, because his job is to call and then it is up to me. When he started to ask additional questions, i didn't want to waste my time and confronted him that this is not real deal and so on, he tried to convince and then in the end said "Thank you for your time, I will remove your number from database, moth******er" slam! ..... how is that for angry scammer?

Just got this exact same call, from a Mark Grover who said he was from unemployment benefits scheme LOL
He gave me the website www.unemploymentgrant.org. and told me to call the 2025590678 number to recieve my grant. I asked why I was recieving it, he said the government did a survey 6 months ago and randomly selected 1000 citizens to recieve the grant. his accent was the first thing to have me skeptical!
I gave no information but IM not very happy with the fact that he has my name number and address!

I also got the call on 12-14-2012 and do believe that this man should be punished to the full extent of the law. It was the $10,000 grant also and he had my personnel information already which really disturbs me and makes me wonder if it came from a couple years ago when computer with my personnel info was stolen from social services. I received a litter saying my idenity was in the stolen computer. S.S never did or notified me of any thing to correct this error to many people.

Fake grant do not send money

Received a call from a person who I don't know what nationality they were but they Sounded Indian said I gialified for $10,000 grant but had to send $160.00 through western union before I got the money. I think that if its grant money u shouldn't have to pay anything. These people should be punished.

I got a call from this guy from England n he said that My Father was selected to receive 10,000 if he goes to western union n send 150 dollars n within the hour that 10,000 dollars would be deposited .... LOL

Receive a phone call from unknown number. A person with Hindu accent identify  himself as an agent from US Grants Department from Washington and after a verification of my personal data (that he have already) he give a 202 559 0678 number to call a manager and give me a code # for a $10,000 "grant from the goverment". I call Mr Channing to the # and he said that to complete the transaction I should pay in cash $150.00.....(in this point I understand this was a scam) , I told him that I was going to call back when I have the cash next monday.

I just got a private call from these same people. saying i was gonna get 7,000 grant from the government.... LOL yeah right, the govenment giving out money i dont have to pay back, thats funny. I told her i wanted it in cash and she told me to go to a westen union and i would get money but i had to send 250 to some charity thingy for homeless kids. she wants me to call her back when i get to western union in an hr. she can kiss my butt. but she knew all my information from the start. like a dummy i confirmed it. Her name was Wendy Cooper. A Indian lady with heavy accent. watch out for this.... i hope no one falls for it

"Greg Carey" with a thick Indian accent called made the same claim that I was selected to receive a $7000 in grant money.
The address he provided was 200 Independence Avenue SW Washington DC 20201

They've called all hours, I finally answered.. UGH!!!

Whistle, air horn, smoke alarm, screaming 5 YO kid -- pick one to break their ear drums.

Call your account issuer *ASAP*, tell them what happened and have them kill the account. You must kill the account, scammers have it and can charge again and again.

i just got a call from that number and i did not realize it was a scam and i gave my account number what should i do

I WISH TO KNOW HOW CAN WE DO TO STOP  THIS.....

They just keep calling me too   Crazy and there they are again

Recieved a call from a lady with heavy accent. Said she was calling from the government. Told me I was selected to recieve $7000.00, and offered it to me in cash, credit, or debit card.  Wanted me to call this number and speak with his supervisor to recieve the money. The minute I hung up I checked here to see if it was a Scam. This many reports before mine.  Yeah..... I don't plan on talking to the supervisor.  To good to be real.wanted my banking or card info...I told her I would just take a check she said can't do that can do cash and as I am typing this out she calls again and I just hung up.

yes i got a phone call from this woman with a heavy accent,

She say that, i win $ 7000 grant and she wanted to me to go to western store and send $ 200,00 to get the money .........but i didn't ...they keep calling me.

Yeah, These people urks my nerves heavy accent they need to get a real job and stop scamming real people. I got a phone call as well saying I won a grant of 7000 come on this is a scam. If the goverment gives you anything you don't have to pay for it that's for sure. I wish the BBB could get involved and shut these fake people down for good. I'm an honest working american trying to make a living for my family. Sounds to good to be true...

Yeah i got acall from this woman saying i won a grant for$7000 and she wanted me to go to the nearest Western store and i pay $410 to get the money transfered to my account, but i didnt give them an account number.

I had received several calls regarding government grants and would either lose the call or I would just hang up because I was leary.  However I did actually apply for a government grant at one time for college tutition and they mentioned that they knew I had applied for the grant.  When I started receiving the calls, as I mentioned, I would get them here and there because I was suspicious.  I as well gave them a Pre-paid Rush Card because I had not even activated it yet.  It was not attached to any of my accounts, so I know that I am okay "hopefully" .  I also have identity theft protection, so hopefully I will be okay.. pretty scary though.

Same as others...felt it was a scam, but kept listening. Asked for money by mail and had a reply that others before requested bank services...told them I had no accounts. Kinda hoping for some way to be true. :)

The call i got was from a restricted number. They wanted bank info. I told them i would give them the number to an empty pre-paid debit card. They said it could be sent Western Union. Didnt ask for any personal info but address and age. Gave me the 202-559-0678 number as a number for a personal accountant. Man was also heavily accented. Reeks of scam. Duh.

Told me I had 2 send 210$$ 2not 2 speak 2 a western union rep nonce I send the $$ 2 a unknow person then ill will receive my 7000$$ reall or fake??

It's a verizon wireless cell phone number.

Same as these other people are saying.... Heavily accented woman, asking for an account number. Claimed to be from the U.S. Government grant services... She was extremely patient.... But yeah i'd say it's definitely a scam.

Got a phone call from a private number stating that I won free grant number, they wanted a saving account number or credit card number, when I asked them their number they gave me 202-559-0678 I had a feeling it was a scam and I hung up.

Same as some of the other reports.  Heavy accented person telling me the government was going to give me $7000 to spend on anything except alcohol and gambling.  Asking for us by last name only, didn't even have a our first name, but we were selected by OUR government to get this.
