Called me on 04/26/14 and 04/28/14. Just found out through my Facebook Messenger App that the owner of this number has a Facebook profile by the name of Gunther Stern.
I simply found out by adding this number to my list of contacts under SCAM.  And the Facebook Messenger App had showed me that the scammer has a current Facebook profile, as well as the Facebook Messenger App on his phone.

One guy with a very thick accent called me and said I was pre-selected for a government grant with the value of $7,000. He also asked me to call to other number 253-656-5109 to claim my grant. He said his name is Max William. I asked him how he known about my phone number and my information, and he said it was from a democrat survey or something.

left no msg.

Idiots! Call my cell phone, ask for me by first name, could hardly understand them, due to the thick middle eastern accent and back ground noise... did catch that they were calling from "government for the USA"... at that point I said, OK, what the f*** do you want? Click... hmmm, imagine that... lol! Scammers!

god damn fkin immigrants calling me in the name of the us government grants, they cant even speak English

bunch of ala's trying to scam people

don't answer

I know hate middle eastern dumb retards that fail at pretty much everything they try to do.

This is a scam seeing as how I am currently enrolled in school and have grants that are handled in person by my fiancial aid office in addition to the secure fafs.gov website.  I will be reporting this to the FBI, seeing as how A.) they are saying they are from a government affiliate which they are not, which is a criminal act, B.) asking to verify my personal information, C.)  Asking for my personal bank information, D.) obviously calling from over seas and when i asked to talk to an U.S. representative that is located here in the U.S. to speak as well as a callback number and his operating ID # he stammered and hung up on me----TOTALLY FAKE and OBVIOUSLY a SCAM!!!!!

Wow.. i just got this call. I let him give his speech, then said I'm not interested.  He said f $@!k you and hung up lol

this number keeps calling my cell phone. no one is there when I answer it. they just hang up. I call it back and I get a message error saying this number is invalid or no longer in service.

this place called me and tried to get my bank account information so they could send me a federal govt grant. When I asked for the offer in writing they hung up on me

who are you

Right at the end of the work day, this number calls, asking for me by last name. When I said this is first name, he seemed confused, so I finally said this is last name. Of course it was nearly impossible to hear what he was saying with his thick accent and incredibly loud call center background noise. He was trying to tell me that I was being offered a government grant and... but that's all I could actually understand. I told him I did not apply for one (I had pulled this site up by then and was not going to fall for it) and he said it was not an application process, just that I had been selected. He started going into the process, but I told him "No, this is what is happening, you are calling me from a call box and I do not want what you have. You are also not going to call me again, understand?" At which point he couldn't hang up fast enough.
That felt good.

The only legitimate avenue for government grants is through www.grants.gov which is the official US government webs site for grants.
From their FAQ concerning fraud:
http://www.grants.gov/web/grants/support/general-support/grant-fraud.html


Please note the following:

No government grant-making agency will make phone calls; send email or letters to solicit money or personal banking information from a potential grant recipient.  
There are no processing fees for federal grants.
Federal grants are not issued for personal use, but are intended for institutions and non-profits to carry out projects with a public purpose.
Know who you're dealing with on the web.  Scam artists will often post a website with a name similar to a legitimate site.
If you have provided personal banking information to anyone claiming to be associated with a Federal grant agency, call your bank immediately to prevent unauthorized access to your account.

If you receive a call, mail, email, FAX, or any other form of communication soliciting you for a grant, STOP.
It is a scam.

I know its a scammer I have been throught the fudural grands and loan process for schooling. and personaly I cant stand middel eastern people, because I was in the us army and depolyed to both Iraq and Afganistan.

Called my cell phone twice.  I picked up the 2nd one.. A guy who butchered my last name (which isn't usually mispronounced), very foreign and stated he was calling the government... Yeahhhh... Okayyyyyy...

I couldn't really understand him but I kept telling him to remove me from whatever call list I'm on. He started to get very combative and trying to get me to say the word "yes" which I did not do. Then lastly rudely asked if the money that is mine is to be given to orphanages and charities. I said he should shove it and hung up the phone.

Beware!

Asked for money

Don't answer

This is a scammer who calls for government grant. Beware!

Called my cell phone twice and did not leave a message either time.
