got a call 4rm a guy 2day sayiny i go some grant money 4rm the government just worried they hav my acc numba..... wat should i do

1-15-2014...... Got calls from... 202-697-9804 (DC) and  209-682-5880 (Cal)
My son was approved for financial aid and Pell Grant at Miami Dade College... 1-11-2014  he received a call from these blood suckers saying he was approved for a "Special Pell Grant" up to $7500...... Got Mom involved yesterday and we paid out $950 total, using 2 different money transfers for different reasons (Processing, State tax and one other) using Money Paks from Wallgreens Drug Store and of coarse the extra monies paid out would be repaid in addition to the Grant money.

They are very slick,...transferring to different people and getting more money each time... First they start out with a small, then double the amount needed to complete the transaction using bogus reasons.

Someone must be connected to the financial aid dept in DC (202 area code)... When they called they had my sons name and information including his cell phone numbers.

OMG Just got that call- Chosen at random to receive 7000 grant to be used for paying debt or home improvements not gambling... and they had me write down a # and said to call back and verify with the Act. Manager Nicole Dowfon at 3026979241 and the guy was Indian could barely speak English, He asked some personal questions and I being naive said I was separated... now they have my address and number etc...
the caller id said Dist. of Columbia 2029876543. damn

they tried to get me to

i have been getting the same calls from these scammers that the rest of you have. thing is now that they are using a 5 digit number which is 636-60. i cant remember the original number that "richard green" and somebody with the last name "brown" called me from, but they claimed that i had been randomly selected for an $8,400 grant from the u.s.treasury. i told them i wanted to speak to an actual american in my gov't because i couldn't understand what they were saying. now i've been getting calls from a foreign woman from the 5 dig number listed above telling me that the 8400 w/$215. fee was a scam and she tells me that its really 8000 w/ 210 fee. i told her i wanted to speak to someone who actually speaks english and she hung up but still calls me back. if i know anything about the u.s. gov't, it is that you only have one shot at a deal like this and if you refuse it they will go to the next one in line and would not continue to call. if the treasury dept wants to give me free money, i'll take it but not for a fee that they can't take off the top, and let me talk to someone who speaks english without a latino, hindu indian, or far eastern accent; but i will settle for a southern accent since i can tell by accent type if they're from alabama, texas or virginia.

Scam # (202)-666-5450
Told Me to Call Shant Miller Lol
IKnew it Was a Scam So iGave Them My Amscot Card Number Which iDon't Use&The Account Won't Let You Over Draw Lol Soooo iGot Them Like They Tried to Get Me. They Had My info So iAlmost Fell For it. They Asked Me to Send 215 Dollars to a Charity&iWould Recieve  8400.00 in Grant Money From The Government. Why Do I Have to Send Money to Recieve Money? IKnew Then it Was a Scam&Did a Search On it. Glad iDid But iStill Don't Know How They Got My Information.

I got a call from 202-292-6660- Susan. She had all my information and claimed I had been selected to receive $7000.00 grant but I had to call Mike Parker at 202-697-9816 to verify that I had been notified. Everything sounded great until they asked me to send $350.00 to Western Union ! I asked why I had to send the money and they immediately hung up! I googled Mike Parker and found out it was a scam! After reading the complaints I discovered most of the people making complaints had one thing in common with me-we all had recently filed for student loans so that's the link! I mean how would they know our information otherwise? !

So same story only different names and phone numbers!  
The other difference is I did give my address :/ fml. Don't know what to do.
They are claiming to be Fiona Lews and Micheal Schofield
(202) 470-6833 was the number they wanted me to call and
(202) 697-9205 was what they called me from.
There are children in my home so I feel VERY dumb!

I got a call yesterday from a lady telling me that I got qualifyed to received a free money grant from the US treasure of 7000 and how Im in a time of need I believed it... but after a confirmation number she gave me, she asked me how I want to receive the money? giving me an option to account visa, mastercard, american express or cash, I replied if I can get a check, she told me they cant mail a check because is  direct deposit, so I notice something wrong with that, so I choose cash and then she ask me for my address what I fooly gave her, then she told me to call Mike Parker to a number she gave me... After she hung up the call, I was thinking why I didnt heard anything in the news about a free money grant from the goverment, then I call my sis in law and she told me to be carefull about Scamssssssss!!!! Now I'm so scared I gave my address to that lady.... Holy shhhhtttt why I never read about this dmmm scams!!

I just received a call from a "Frank Adkins" (202)888-7770) saying that I was randomly selected to receive a grant for $8400.00 from the US Treasury Dept. Naturally I did not apply for a grant and can't imagine getting one for nothing. But being a 10 year US Navy Vet and former Govt. employee I wanted to get more information. So I gave them an old bank account number, told him I didn't believe him and that I wanted to speak to his manager. His manager "James Miller" (202-905-0702) couldn't be reached but I left a voicemail. All the while "Frank" was still on the other line, like I asked him to be. I then got call waiting from 202-741-0768 and miraculously it was James Miller (not at his number mentioned earlier). When I spoke with him I asked that he give me his supervisors contact information, that I worked for the government and I don't believe a word of this. He hung up. I switched back to "Frank" who continued to try ton convince me that it was the real deal. this lasted until I told him that I cannot imagine that this is a real government program (that wouldn't mail a letter, or write a check, or be contacted otherwise) and that I was going to report them. "Frank" then hung up. Don't fall for this junk. Report it. Call the D.C.Attorney gernerals office. Special Agent Kenneth Barrington @202-741-0768.

So did u just keep the money or wat?

These people almost get me smfh

Person tried to tell me something about my recieving a $7,000 grant from the government for paying my taxes.
Said the supervisor that would confirm my grant is Mike Parker if i would call him back at 202-580-8349

they did this to me and I didn't respond to the number or donate the money.  Then I get another call with another confirmation number and she didn't even know that I had already been called and she gave me another number to call to complete my 7000 dollar grant.  The numbers were 202-407-7177 and 202-470-0726. They need to be stopped.

Unknown number called and said if I called 202-621-0402 I would get a $7000 government grant.  All I had to do was provide my checking account or credit card number.  They said I would have to make a $210 charity donation and as soon as they received that they would transfer the $7000.  Sounds like a major scam and could fool elderly people!  Said I could verify this on the website WWW.usgrants.gov which doesnt exist!  Spoke with manager Steven Moore 202-621-0402

SAME HISTORY THEY GOING TO SEND ME $7,000.OO FREE FROM US TREASURY

Special Agent Kenneth Barrington @202-741-0768.  We let theses clowns in our country only to scam our poor, sick, and ederly and nothing happens to them.  Not a thing.  The minute you or I tried to do this, we'd be headlines on Cnn, or Fox.  Esp if it were a Black or Mexican...  Lets change the game people...

bogus federal grant scam; offering 7000 dollars for a "charitable contribution."  Given confirmation number and told to call 202-621-0401, ask for Stephen Moore.

yup .... money for nothing; funny, didn't realize the US Treasury Department hired people who cannot speak English at all, whatsoever.  Get real Stephen Moore!!!!  Stupid we are not.   They gave me bogus info; I provided them with a bogus credit card.

i received a call from the same susan smith from 202-580-8135 saying we could get 7000 dollars if we donated 130 dollars.  these people need to be stopped

ya thay trid to scam me

got a call from unknown number on my cell i asked for a number to call and verify, 202-621-0402
same story random government grant cuz i pay my taxes on time..which i have not...so i said mail me something to verify who you are, he said he cant they dont have the facility> US Gov treasury has no ability to mail a letter? hmm too good to be true,,means it is!!

202-621-0402
random Federal Grants. Hmmmm

Calvin called from 2026210402 to inform that I am picked to get 7000 dollars for grant from the government.I can use this amount for any thing except gambling.I must give my checking or saving account number. Money will be transfered in 30 to 35 min.His supervisor's name is Staffern Moore.

i had that recent number 202-580-8135 susan smith call me telling me i had a 7000 dollar grant coming to me and i cant use it for gambling  drinking or wine only for school  and repairing my home and asked me to pay 135 dollars for some chairity  i guess she got my info from when i filed for a loan to pay my bills that is bad when someone can pray on innocent people like that.

Go same call from (202) 580-8135

Same message same # same person.  Same charges...and I was told this money was from Washington D.C. and the Federal Government. I wasalso told the $129.00 fee was for third world countries such as Sri Lanka, etal.  They knew I'd applied for grant information to go to a Junior College in my area.  They tolde me the $ could not be used for gambling, drinking, or wine.  LOL, Why wouldn't the government just deduct the $ from the grant?

I received a call from 202-580-8135, susan smith.  she said she is from the u.s. government and is authorized to transfer $7000 into my account for a fee of $129.  This money is supposedly a grant.  I didn't fall for it, but be careful.  This one apparently got my personal information and knew I applied for a pell grant to go to a technical school in Inverness, FL.

GOT A CALL FROM THESE PEOPLE TODAY CLAIMING THAT THEY ARE FROM THE USA GOVERMENT GRANT. THEY CLAIM THAT I CAN GET 7,000 DOLLARS INTO MY ACCOUNT IN 4 TO 5 MIN. BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 210 DOLLARS FIRST FOR A CHARITY. ANYONE HEARD ABOUT THESE PEOPLE LET ME KNOW BECAUSE HERE THEY GO AGAIN TRYING TO SCAM PEOPLE . SO PLEASE YALL DON'T TRUST PEOPLE THAT OFFER YOU GRANTS FOR MONEY . YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING FOR A GOVERNMENT GRANT THEY ARE FREEEEEEE BOO BOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
