First lady that called me had an indian accent she asked me my name and if I applied for a grant. I told her I applied for a grant back in Feb.  It was advertised on a TV commercial.  She said she was from Washington DC and was a government official.  She gave me another phone number to call and a code to get someone on the phone. She told me I was approved for a us government grant for $6,795 and to call that number to receive it. So I called 2025597604 and a women answers saying to load $10 on a green dot visa card then in order for them to load all of the $6,795 I has to get a green dot money pack card and put $285.00 on it and then I'd receive a $6,795 grant.  

The same thing just happened to me. I asked how they got my number because I am on the "No Call" list. I'm almost tempted to see what they ask for next, but I won't.

Got a call yesterday about 6pm saying "due to my good standing in society and with the gov't" I prequalified for receiving this grant.  The call came from an unknown number telling me to call the 202-559-7604 number back to receive my free grant money that could be used for anything.  The caller had an Indian accent and said I should reference a code number.
