they called me and at first I thought it was a prank from people I work with. He had this weird cartoon voice and could barely speak english and how do you work for the u.s. government and be unable to speak english. He didn't even know ohio was a state. Just saying.

No, it's not real!  Why would you need to pay $170 if you've either won something or are receiving a "grant"?  You don't pay!  If you send the money, guess what?  You'll have lost $170 which you won't be able to get back, and you will NOT see a penny of the alleged $10,000.

No - it's a scam!

i got a call from a lady first and then she told me all this information.....and told me to call this number 2026576566 and a man answered named david brown....he told me he would send me a 10,000 check if i send 170 dollars!is this really real??

so did you get the money??

I received a call from this man who knew all my information about wanting a grant for school. I thought it was real until my mother told me about scammers. Grants don't cost you any money. He said it eas a one time fee of $149 for a guaranteed $10, 000 grant. He said his name was David Brown and he's in Washington.

They want to give me 10000the grant one time fee 149of dollars
