I got a call from them to and bank of America. I had to send in 300.00 dollars in order to get the money.. I did they have all my info too. They money never came but the man that sent it to is Joe George in India.

Got a call from woman with an offer of $50,000  grant to start a business. Who ever calls to give away money in this day and age is nothing but a fraud people.

Please be more careful...use common sense. If something is being given away for free like Government money...it is always a SCAM!. Never give your BIRTHDAY...your SOCIAL SECURITY , NAME and ADDRESS. This is the new id theft scam! These cons will take that info and create a bogus credit card in your name and then sell it to a high bidder in the black market.

The real U.S. government website for acquiring grants is www.grants.gov  (note the .gov).

Total Scam!...these vile lower than scum creatures need to be eradicated...praying on the old and desperate. Government grants never get approved this way. Also to receive a $50,000 grant you must qualify first..which is impossible unless you are a non-profit organization (with over 2 years of tax returns)
p.s. when ever a barely speaking English person call you...that's your first RED FLAG!

Scam artist trying to scam me for my hard earned money didn't give no card info but a prepaid master card I never used but did give my address, dob, and last four of social not thinking they could do anything with just the last 4..can they???

I rcvd a same call yesterday by name Lee Thompson heavy accented guy he stated I was eligible for a 50000 grant gave me a address of 200 independence ave,a web address and id # I heard him out I fell for it my dumb self..I gave him my address,birthday,last 4 of social not thinking because I never give that out !!! EVER!!! I DON'T know if they can do much with that but still just knowing they have that much is killing me over here I'm scared they gave me a call back under a 847 number the this time it was a lady with a heavy accent named Annabelle I didn't get to answer the call but she left a message on my machine stating for me to give her a call or answer when she called but when I called it doesn't ring it goes to a recording saying theythat it's the government grants dept they are busy at the time leave name and number and they will return your call...so I'm waiting for this call to see what comes next I don't want to tee them off knowing they have my info and address and I have kids to protect

I also received the same call at first I believed it but I still was doin research on it an kept looking things up everyday an that's when today I seen the posts! Thanks so much cuz I can't afford no mishap like. That

I got a similar message this morning. A guy who sounded Nigerian, said I could get $50,000 in grant money, and started to ask for my checking account number.  I wouldn't give him my account number, as it's obvious it's just another Nigerian scam. Sooner then later, they will tell me I need to send "a fee". If it was the government, they could and would send ME a check, or send funds to a  school I wanted to go to. EVERYONE remember-if it SOUNDS too good to be true. IT IS, These people are just scum scam artists.

got a call from that number. told them i would call the bbb to confirm or see if they had complaints. they were very leary of me doing this or trying to call any government department to confirm they are legit. they transferred me to their supervisor alex travis, yeah right thats not his name. just like the guy i talked to first did not know tx stood for texas and his name was glen johnson. i even said to him really are you serious? and laughed. I have called the bbb to alert them to alert others. I am on ssi and these people think they can fool desperate people who really need the resources..If you ever recieve money from the goverment 1. they wont call and tell you, you must dig to find out if they even owe you and fight for it from them. 2. YOu have to apply to them yourself and jump through many hoops to recieve what you do deserve. MOST OF ALL THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT WOULD NOT HAVE PEOPLE GIVING OUT GRANTS THAT DONT KNOW ENGLISH OR THE ABBREVIATIONS OF THE STATES! I HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE FROM NOT GETTING SCAMMED. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE MONEY, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER YOU HAVE TO WORK OR FIGHT FOR IT. ALSO THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO WWW.USGRANTSRESOURCES.COM TO CONFIRM WHO THEY ARE. AND NO OTHER INFO.

My husband received the exact phone call this morning from a gentleman stating that he has been rewarded a $50,000 grant.  My husband asked many questions about this grant and without thinking he gave this gentleman his debit card  info.  I immediately called our bank to report possible fraud and transferred all of our funds into another account.  We will wait and see for this 2nd phone call to happen.

Got a garbled message fm. Woman with a n eastern Indian accent, stating the same effect as Robynn's call.   Approx 315pm central time.  I wonder if anyone actually falls for this rubbish anymore??

Just got a call from this number stating I was awarded from the US grant department an amount of $50000.  Another number call me to validate the transaction (847-457-1029).  In the validation process I was expected to pay $330.00 and $8330 would be at Western Union for me and the $42000 would be sent to my account via my check card.  The $330 according to the lady I spoke to is going to We Care Foundation.  Money is to critical to give away when you do not have it.  Reciepient beware.  I have reported them to Western fraud department.  Also I received I phone from the bank of America 1800 # asking if I was going to complete the transaction today.  I am alarm that the bank is involved in this.  #1 rule you do not pay for grant money.
