Got the same call just now and the number they are using is 2026979244 mygrant.com. Asked my age. I said over such and such. Watch your accounts.

Just got a call from Jason SilvIa he said they can mail me a check. So I called the other number 206 866 5705. Another guy said to purchase a green pac card it will cost 4.95 and make sure there is 200 on the card.   Ugh hell no. If its my money why should I pay you?   I really hope they get reported because this is awful to do around xmas and in this economy. There are people like me that are facing eviction that would jump at this chance. Thank god I'm a telemarketer and understand how it goes. Happy holidays guys

I just got the same call. Now they are promising $9000. I told them I know it is a scam and they said no check out this webpage. I tried and there is no such page. Nice try AH.

There is no winning with these people or the other telemarketers. Don't get mad
or lose temper. If you want to get them and have some laugh, have "phone sex"
with them (for free!). At the beginning, act normal, serious, and ask a simple relevant
question. As soon as the caller thinks that you have fallen into their trap, start
the "phone sex" gig. For instance, ask the color of her panty or if he is willing to
have certain type of sex from behind ...

I received a call saying they are from american grant department i was selected to
Receive 7,500 grant from the government how would you like to receive it cash in your bank account or debit card its free he told me you don't have to pay it back I told him what do i need to do he said
Go to Western Union store and pay a  fee of 289you will receive it in 15 -30 minutes i wont hang up
Until you receive your money 202-697-9745

This just happened to me. They called me today and said I was randomly selected for this $7000 grant, which would have came in handy. I was supposed to send them $260. Everything was ok until I got to western union and started thinking about it and asking questions. I started asking what kind of grant do you start off paying for. Then when i seen they wanted me to send the money to India I just didnt trust it. Then when the western union lady accidently sent the money to Indiana I took that as a sign and got my money back and told them I would call tomorrow when they opened back up. Im glad i thought to do some research. Im not quick with sending my money to strangers and especially when I can barely understand what they are saying to me. Besides, it was pretty noisy in the background. It didnt sound much like a place of business.

Just got a call telling me to call this number and ask for Shawn Swiger to get my $7,000 dollars.  Said they were with the US govt.

Peter William.  ID I7870.  Told me the US Federal Goverment Charity Foundation Department wnats ot give me $5,000.  He actually even told me not to use the money for anything illegal,.

Got a call from this number.

Received a call telling me to call this number to get my free government grant money. I knew it was odd first because they were using my middle name and telling me I pay my taxes on time. I file under my first name. Plus the person was obviously calling from a call center and was from India. Looked it up on google and found others have said it was fraud. They told me to use the money for good.

Got the call on 11-17-10 told me i would be recieving 7000 because i am a good citizen.....all i needed to do was western union money to them and i would get it back.....weill i am an idiot cause i did it and never got the money and cant callthem back cause they blocked my number....oh i just wanna kick myself in the head!!!

A fool and his money are soon parted.  WTF were you thinking....given your personal info to some stranger.  was the promise of 7000 bucks just to much to resist?  People please...use your head for more then a punching bag.  If it sounds to good to be true, it isn't true.

Sorry dude,but you were screwed.  In the future, just follow one simple rule.  IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.....ITS NOT TRUE!

I am so glad that I looked up the phone number before sending 340 bucks. Mikeal and Kevin both told me that I would get 7,000 dollars if I sent that money. I told them yeah okay when I get paid. I am blessed that they didn't get me. One number is 202-621-0971 and the other is 202-621-0649. Please be aware of scam.

Hi the number that called me was 773-649-1101 that contacted me and said that I was qualified for a grant. But I'm not sure if I need to do this or not

Sorry that this happend to you,  I have contacted the FBI, because I realized quickly these people were a scam,  I would suggest you contact the FBI in your area because they are impersonating the US Goverment official and that is a federal offense, they may also provide you more details about identity theft and provide you useful information to protect yourself.

I also just received the phone call, but from "Amy" with the thick accent, who informed me that I was selected for a grant because of a demographic study in my area and I qualified because I have no criminal record, I pay my taxes on time, and I've never filed for bankruptcy. She had my address & asked for my date of birth  and if I wanted to have my money sent to my checking account, debit card, or check.   I know from being a federal employee that this was a scam, that the US Govermment offices are monday through friday only.  Since they are impersonating the US Goverment, I have contacted the FBI to inform them of this scam and gave the real FBI all the companies information, please do not fall for this scam.

I received a call from "Sharon Jones" with a thick accent about 35 minutes ago and she informed me that I was selected for a grant because of a demographic study in my area and I qualified because I have no criminal record, I pay my taxes on time, and I've never filed for bankruptcy. She had my address & asked for my date of birth  and if I wanted to have my money sent to my checking account, debit card, or check. I told her I was not accepting the grant. She gave me a 202  621-0649 phone number & gave me a money ID #SN001. I've worked in a bank, & I knew immediately it was a scam. I called the # to give them a piece of my mind but it went to voicemail. I left them a voicemail telling them that I know it's a scam and that I will be reporting them.

I got a call from 202-621-0422. They really sound scam to me. They wanted me to send money to them through western union. I taped the call just if i need it for future references. Surprisingly, the guy who called me is clearly Indian. However, when i asked him about his name, he gave me Jack William. Well, If you tour all India, you will not find one with such a name. they are trying to use a white names to got more people to their scams. I wish FBI got its hand on these illegal scammers.

THIS IS THE BIGGEST SCAM I HAVE  EVER BEEN TRIED TO GET TO PARTICIPAT IN ABD AT CHRISTMAS TIME.

GOT THE STRANGE CALL FROM THIS NUMBER THAT I WAS SUCH A GOOD CITIZEN THAT THEY WERE GIVING ME $7000 IF I GO TO WESTERN UNION AND GIVE THEM $199 TO MAKE SURE IT WAS ME RECEIVING THE CASH.  MY QUESTION WAS HOW WAS MONEY GOING TO IDENTIFY ME AND WHY COULDN'T THEY TAKE IT FROM MY GOOD CITIZEN MONEY;  HE HUNG UP.  PLUS IT WAS THE SAME PERSON THAT CALLED ME THE FIRST TIME TO GIVE ME THE OTHER NUMBER TO CALL.  BEWARE

Sharon Jones US Federal Grant in tacoma Wa, 253-656-6677, I got a call that I will receive a $7000 grant, but I must send at first $199.00 they were going to send it thru Western Union, I send $199.00. I live in Arizona western union will not send or receive more than $450.00. Later they said I must send $435 to them and will send my money to me. I did this; I called them back, and gave them my bank account to send it to my account. They said there was a problem, you owned IRS some money. I called IRS in Washington D.C. They said that I owed nothing to them. I called them back and told them this. Then they said it is now with the Government. I asked which one the government there is lots of agencies; they said it is out of their hands. The money I used was my rent money and now I am out of money. They lied and sold money from me. What can I do to get my $532 dollars back? They will lie cheat you out of you money. Stay away.

I was scammed out of all my money on Money thru Tuesday November, 15,2010,and November 16,2010 out of $470 I am a full-time student...I just wish I would have thought much more on the decision I made before actually making one with them...They had already knew my name and where I lived...I had to give them my account number as well as my birthday..They also asked what was my last six digits of my social security...I have changed my bank account out and also have filed a complaint about them, but do you think I should be worried about my social security number? I need some feedback because I do not want them to try to steal my Identity now...
