oh and the number is 202-657-6938

I too got this same phone call two days ago. The woman said that I needed to make a security deposit of 290.00 for 7500.00 free grant monies from the government. Something really needs to be done with these criminals.

Funny they have now added an extra 50 dollars - got the call a few minutes ago

this is very helpful i am glad i didnt atually do it  haha and i think it is funny that this site has adds for western union

I just got a call from the same 607-363-9777 it said payphone on my phone they had asked for me by name something about government grant or something sounded like an older lady I told her she had the wrong number.

People need to watch out fro this low scam criminals.  They tried to cheat my friend also.  Please do not be a victim.  We need to inform the FBI as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They just did it to me also!!! SCAM!!

This same number called me and said i was approved by the government to recieve a grant of $7800 and then to go to a western union store and have my cell/ photo ID/ and $200 to recieve the $7800. They keep calling me from different numbers also asking how soon I can get to the western union because apparently the money expires at 6:37 today at Washington D.C... They were so pushy about me getting the $200 and got mad when i said i didnt have the money and they hung up.

damm they got me to they called me saying that i was picked for a goverment grant for 7,800 and all i had to do is go to a western union and send them 200 dollors  i did and then they tried and tell me that i needed to pay a tax of for 975 dollors  and  then when i said i had no more money left  they said i can pay half but  they hung up and said they would call me back and never did and all  the numbers they gave me where disconected grrrrrrr i want my 210 back  they left me broke  i hate my life i hope they get caught this is rediculous

They called and told me if i deposited 200 ti a western union i would be able to recieve a grant of 7800 dollars in my hand. Man its a scam the punks got me for 780 dollars but im not worried about the money i just want them caught. And they are very racist too.

i keep get a call from this number saying i qualify for a government grant in the amount of 7,800.00 and i can pick it up at a western union near me and that i needed to have a security deposit of 200.00....if its truly free government money then why do i have paid a security deposit up front...she told me i would get the security deposit right back...its needed to confirm who i am...she said the address was: 200 independence avenue washington, d.c. 20210....website: www.grant.com

It is deffinatly a scam.  I received the same phone callabout 20 min ago so I called the number that showed up on my caller I'd and that number is 607-363-9777, and it was a woman who sound the same and she answered the pay phone and hung up. So I called the 202 number that the lady Karen called me from and told her that she just tried running this same scan on someone else and I am reporting her! She hung up.

A woman called saying she belongs to the federal dapartment and that I was randonly selected to receive $7.800,00 from the governament and the only thing I had to do was go to a Western Union and make a security deposit for them ($200.00) and I would get the $7.800.00.
First of all they called from a payphone, I saw it on my caller ID.
Second: Why would I deposit money for them if I supose to get money..
I just told the woman on the phone that it was a scam and hung up.
