I too was called and I paid $310.oo.  They referred me to another number, 347-706-3001.  Jen, Lisa Raye, and Natalia were the names they went by.  They recommended that I pay $1500.00 more to get my so called grant released.  I'd like a lawyer to reach out to me in order to get my $310.00 back and to prevent other victims from being preyed on.

I received a phone call from the same number.  I knew it was a scam because I asked them to western union it to me. Then she said I had to send 310 dollars and I said wait I thought it was free. She started getting mad at me because I said that the police were tracing the call. Well I just wanted to have fun with it. Hopefully people are smart enough not to give any personal information out over the phone. Especially from a government worker with an Indian accent.

Got a call today from phonw # 646-970-002 saying we had been given $7000. from a lady that sounded like a indian woman. Gave us a confirmation nuber and said to call this # 202-627-5552. That it was from the Federal Reserve Bank and we had been chosen to help pay bills and fix our home up. If we gave them our debit card number they would send it to us.I'm telling ya I think their looking up random phone numbers on the internet and calling them. I wish the Federal Reserve or FBI or someone would find out who is doing thos and stop them.

I'd been getting these strange calls lately with a fake number. I finally got someone on the other end when I answered it. Turned out be some guy who could barely speak english, and I could barely understand him. He told me that I had been chosen to recieve $7,000 in grant money because I hadn't had a bankruptcy and my credit was good (b***sh**, I have unpaid student loans), and he asked me flat out if I would use this money for drugs or alcohol. I said no, and then asked him if there was a web-site or phone number that I could use to verify his offer. He skirted around the web-site question and told me he would give me a confirmation number and a phone number to call. Made absolutely no sense, but I said ok. I called the number up and another broken-english woman answered. She mangled my name, confirmed the town and state I was living in, and then asked if I knew why I was recieving this money. I said "No, and that's really interesting, isn't it?" She said "Oh, well, someone will call you," and then hung up. I decided then to look up the number online. They are in Washington, D.C., yes, but the number is nowhere near a federal building, and it's a cell phone number, which, I have a feeling, if the U.S. government was going to be calling me, they wouldn't do it from a cell-phone.

I received this very same call, before taking any action with them I google the phone number. After doing my own investigation I found a scam/ fraud number that is for the federal reserve bank of new york. Hopefully this number can be of use to anyone that encounters these scammers, the number is 18775237269.I hope these people can be tracked down and prosecuted for what they are doing.

Advance-Fee Loan Scams: ?Easy? Cash Offers Teach Hard Lessons
Looking for a loan or credit card but don?t think you?ll qualify? Turned down by a bank because of your poor credit history?

You may be tempted by ads and websites that guarantee loans or credit cards, regardless of your credit history. The catch comes when you apply for the loan or credit card and find out you have to pay a fee in advance. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation?s consumer protection agency, that could be a tip-off to a rip-off. If you?re asked to pay a fee for the promise of a loan or credit card, you can count on the fact that you?re dealing with a scam artist. More than likely, you?ll get an application, or a stored value or debit card, instead of the loan or credit card.

The Signs of an Advance-Fee Loan Scam
The FTC says some red flags can tip you off to scam artists? tricks. For example:

A lender who isn?t interested in your credit history. A lender may offer loans or credit cards for many purposes ? for example, so a borrower can start a business or consolidate bill payments. But one who doesn?t care about your credit record should give you cause for concern. Ads that say ?Bad credit? No problem? or ?We don?t care about your past. You deserve a loan? or ?Get money fast? or even ?No hassle ? guaranteed? often indicate a scam.

Banks and other legitimate lenders generally evaluate creditworthiness and confirm the information in an application before they guarantee firm offers of credit ? even to creditworthy consumers.
Fees that are not disclosed clearly or prominently. Scam lenders may say you?ve been approved for a loan, then call or email demanding a fee before you can get the money. Any up-front fee that the lender wants to collect before granting the loan is a cue to walk away, especially if you?re told it?s for ?insurance,? ?processing,? or just ?paperwork.?

Legitimate lenders often charge application, appraisal, or credit report fees. The differences? They disclose their fees clearly and prominently; they take their fees from the amount you borrow; and the fees usually are paid to the lender or broker after the loan is approved.

It?s also a warning sign if a lender says they won?t check your credit history, yet asks for your personal information, such as your Social Security number or bank account number. They may use your information to debit your bank account to pay a fee they?re hiding.

A loan that is offered by phone. It is illegal for companies doing business in the U.S. by phone to promise you a loan and ask you to pay for it before they deliver.

A lender who uses a copy-cat or wanna-be name. Crooks give their companies names that sound like well-known or respected organizations and create websites that look slick. Some scam artists have pretended to be the Better Business Bureau or another reputable organization, and some even produce forged paperwork or pay people to pretend to be references. Always get a company?s phone number from the phone book or directory assistance, and call to check they are who they say they are. Get a physical address, too: a company that advertises a PO Box as its address is one to check out with the appropriate authorities.

A lender who is not registered in your state. Lenders and loan brokers are required to register in the states where they do business. To check registration, call your state Attorney General?s office or your state?s Department of Banking or Financial Regulation. Checking registration does not guarantee that you will be happy with a lender, but it helps weed out the crooks.

A lender who asks you to wire money or pay an individual. Don?t make a payment for a loan or credit card directly to an individual; legitimate lenders don?t ask anyone to do that. In addition, don?t use a wire transfer service or send money orders for a loan. You have little recourse if there?s a problem with a wire transaction, and legitimate lenders don?t pressure their customers to wire funds.

Finally, just because you?ve received a slick promotion, seen an ad for a loan in a prominent place in your neighborhood or in your newspaper, on television or on the Internet, or heard one on the radio, don?t assume it?s a good deal ? or even legitimate. Scam artists like to operate on the premise of legitimacy by association, so it?s really important to do your homework.

Finding Low-Cost Help for Credit Problems
If you have debt problems, try to solve them with your creditors as soon as you realize you won?t be able to make your payments. If you can?t resolve the problems yourself or need help to do it, you may want to contact a credit counseling service. Nonprofit organizations in every state counsel and educate people and families on debt problems, budgeting, and using credit wisely. Often, these services are low- or no-cost. Universities, military bases, credit unions, and housing authorities also may offer low- or no-cost credit counseling programs. To learn more about dealing with debt, including how to select a credit counseling service, visit ftc.gov/credit.

Where to Complain
If you think you?ve had an experience with an advance-fee loan scam, report it to the FTC.

The FTC works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop and avoid them. To file a complaint or get free information on consumer issues, visit ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. Watch a video, How to File a Complaint, at ftc.gov/video to learn more. The FTC enters consumer complaints into the Consumer Sentinel Network, a secure online database and investigative tool used by hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

Same story as everyone above.  I asked What building in DC he was working out of and got...Federal Grant Department, 200 Independent Ave. SW, Washington D 20201.  2 days ago, a lady with a heavy accent called, this time a guy called, again with a heavy accent.  Unfortunately, it looks like they are getting some $$.  With all the technology we have today, it seems these calls should be able to be traced.

Called to tell me I wa one of 1,500 people chosen by the Federal Government to receive a $7,000 grant.  Said he worked at the Federal Grant Dept. at 200 Independent Ave., SW Washington, DC 20201.  Gave me a grant approval #.  This is the 2nd call in 3 days from this number which shows up on my caller ID as "970-002".  Both callers had heavy accents.
