I received a call stating that I had been chosen to receive a grant from the U.S. Treasury in the amount of $ 9000.00. It came from a number that is different from the one above but is very close to being the same.  I did not write down the number that the call came from but was given a number to call back and the name of a man to ask for. The number is 202-683-9442 and the mans name is supposedly Sam Spencer. They called back today from an UNKNOWN number. When I told the lady that I thought this was a scam she hung up on me. How do we stop this ?

Got a similar call from 202-621-5249 saying my number had been selected from a 1000 grant and asked my name. I said it all sounded like a scam and they kept saying no and they would send me information in the mail. Of course they never asked my address.

I just got the same phone call except my amount is 9200 dollars. It was a foreign woman who called me and gave me a code and a phone number to call. I thought to myself " OK I will bite " So I called the number back and got a foreign man this time with a name of John Green. Same as the rest of you he then tells me that I have been chosen to receive this government  grant and never have to pay it back. They think we are stupid! So he says you need to pay a 249 dollar fee that is fully refundable (yea right) I tell him I am broke and cannot afford that he then offers to pay part of it for me then I will pay him back. (really dude) The gov. is not going to say something like that (what an idiot)! So I tell him that I think this is a scam (as I too have not applied for any grants) he then says I can prove it that this is not a scam..tells me to get on computer and tells me to type in www.grants.gov. so I do and he says now click on applicants then says do you see where its asking for a number. I say yes he says that is where the number goes that I am going to give you once u give me $249. To me this proves nothing other than he knows how to get to a website!! I just tell him I do not have the money and he says to call back when I do. Needless to say I will not be calling him back. I hope they catch these guys and I hope that some poor desperate person does not fall into this trap!!!!

Well they just called me and Gave me a number 206-317-1478 The mans name was Mark Spencer. He had a foreign accent. Thankfully my mom got on the line and I took down all there contact information that will be going to my local news station. They told me that I had a grant for 9,200....200?? Don't understand it and really didn't understand what he was talking bout. I kept confronting him and he couldn't ansewer the legal questions my mom was asking. He said that I was also randomly selected out of 1500 people I was like dude I couldn't be randomly selected out of 2 people. But there aint no doubt in my mind these people are scammers, and there very good at it. But they barked up the wrong tree. They will be prosecuted!!

Political Call
I got a call from 202-621-4278. They said I am getting a grant from the US Gov't because I never have been in trouble with the law; I have never filed bankruptcy and I pay my taxes. Well I just got out of prison, I filed bankruptcy, but I do pay my taxes. I like to lead these idiots on for as long as I can to make them think they have a victim and then I tell them about themselves and report them.

I recieved the same kind of call today from 1-000-000-0000, and they offered me 7000 dollars also, told me that  i had 3 options to  getting the money 1) my checking or savings account, 2) a debit card 3) money gram or western union, and  i had to pay 280 to get the money. I sure wasnt giving out my checking, saving or debit card info, so I asked if this was for real and she said yes, then I said then take the 280 dollars out of the grant money and she said that we are going to give you 7280 so you will be refunded what you paid within 15mins of paying the 280 because it was to secure the 7000 dollars. I thought that was crazy as h.... so i said why do i have to secure the money  they are sending me and she told me that because the agency would take out taxes and fees if they found out it was from the US GOVT because its a personal grant and transaction, so tell no one because people will steal and rob and etc. She also claimed that an FBI agent would be there to verify it was me getting the money. I thought about all she was saying and then googled the number and came to find out this is a Scam. I called them back at the 202-621-0436 and told them I am aware of the scam and to dont call my number ever again, then she started whispering to a man and then he got on the phone and then starting arguing too, then i said what kind of business Will argue about you getting money they claim is yours, NONE..... So be aware of the Scammers and dont waste your money or time.

Received a call from a 000000 number. Person claimed I was randomly selected because I was a good citizen, hadn't filed for bankruptcy within the last 6 months and had no criminal record. When person was "verifying" my address she had it completely wrong. I mean, if you're from the government I would expect you to have my right address. Person said I needed to speak with her manager for further details and instructions. She also kept repeating "your $7000 grant" over and over as if I hadn't heard her the previous 10 times she said it. Just playing on your emotions...I knew it was too good to be true so I checked the # on line and confirmed that it was a scam. People have nothing better to do...

I Just got a call from the "US Grant Department Fedural Goverment- washington DC"  I like many it seems was selected to receive $7000.00 in grant money free!!! Got the call from 0000000000 Nancy. Then told to call with a verication number at 202 621 0436. This I did and spoke with Erick Johnson officer #180. Like the others told 3 ways to receive funding I chose money gram/western union.
Told to go to closest call him back while in parking lot and stay on the phone and would record the entire traction for verfication purposes.  Once inside I'd need I'd and because my state required taxes I must pay the $280.00 fee but would be reimbersed when I got grant money!   When I asked for verfication of grant money prio to paying $280.00. Mr. Erick Johnson informed me that they had takendown their web ssite to protect the public but not to WORRY I had his name number and phone number and could file a police report if needed.  He would be the one in trouble not me.

Well. ...yea! I however would be the one out $280.00!!! Mean while they get off scott free.. Calle dumb but not STUPED! !!! oh abd used the word bull sh.t! Key goverment doesn't use profanity. BEWARE BEWARE.....

According to my caller ID on my cell phone I just got a call from phone number 000-000-0000. The guy on the line with a heavy foreign accent said I was to receive a nonrefundable grant from the federal gov't for 7 thousand dollars. I just needed to call his senior account manager at 202-621-0436 and he would walk me through the process in order to receive the money today.

For another scam similar to this, I filed it as fraud with my bank.  Within 20 minutes the money was back in my account and they did a formal investigation and the company was charged with fraud.  I would call your bank immediately

Today Saturday Aug 24, 2013 I recieved a phone call from an Eric Johnsnon. He told me that I was selected among 1500 people in December to recieve a 7,000 grant for me to keep without having to payback. He said because it was from the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank this money was only to be used to pay bills, fix up the house and anything else that was not illegal such casinos or betting as he was explaining to me. After all that He confirmed my name and address and stated that I needed to go to a Walmart with a moneygram location pay the fee of 280 in order to recieve the 7000.00. I almost bought it but I looked up the number and came to this page. Now I know that it is a scam and good thing I did not go through with it. Oh and in order to recieve this money He gave me a confirmation number DL205.
