man i got this same call, these heavy accented people really think we are dumb. they told me to go to a money gram or western union bank and make a "personal transaction" to confirm it was me then they would give me the 9000. what kind of idiot thinks this would work?

Just got call from this 202-660-4020 number saying i have been awarded a $9000 US Govt grant that i would pay no taxes on and no repayment...  HAHA

I told the foreigner to mail me the check and she said they cant... All she needed was my bank acct info and she would transfer the money while i waited on the phone with her... HOW SWEET!!  What a bunch of ignorant scam artist....

These people called my father claiming to have a 9000 dollar grant for him. They said it would cost him nothing but gave him a number to call with a grant passcode he calls this Sharon Lemon.  Mrs. Lemon who barely spoke English told him it would cost him 210 dollars to a charity then the money would be sent so my dad cancelled. I then called them back and asked who they were she just kept sayin Sharon lemon no company or anything. I said I well your a scam and she said there is no scam because my father cancelled his transaction so said that doesn't make it ok for you to try this on someone else so she then hung up. I'm not sure about anyone else but this was not sit well with me and I'm going to see what I can do to have this stopped my father is elderly and disabled and I will not stand for it.

I received a call from a private number telling me a was approve for a grant of $9000 and and to call 2026604062 when i called i had to ask for Sharon Lemon and give her my grant number when I call I didn't get no answer. Then the number call me back and ask me my name I told her my name then she said to get the money I had to send them $210 a one time fee I ask for her to take it from the grant money she said it couldn't be do like so I told her that I knew it was a scam she then say no it not I then told her that if any money was taken from my account would get the police in this matter she hung up so fast.so please be careful cause they are trying to gt people good this I looked this up to see cause they wold have got me

Got a call saying I can get $9,000 but I had to send them a processing fee of $190

today is 6/26/2012.I got a call from 202-660-4062 stating I was randomly selected for a 7000 dollar grant.cant get an answer back.suspicious?kinda worried.don't trust anyone!

Hello, my fiance` received an anonymous call, but they told him to call back to 202-660-4062 and ask for Tracey Oliver.  He gave them my card information, a government issued ebt card.  He was told that we were eligible for a government grant, so he thought wow this is great.  But of course, me being the skeptic... found you guys on here  and wow I was right.  I also found another site, where people are actually getting back their money it is called scambook.  I found more numbers associated with this particular scam, 407-477-4860, 1-800-423-1000.  I have called Tracey Oliver back several times, now she has been Nancy Williams, and also Joyce Oliver, asking every time to speak to a supervisor.  She told me her supervisor is Adam Anderson, but she would have to make me an appointment to talk with him, because he is very busy.  I know that there are many American citizens that have very foreign accents, but not everyone that works at these numbers should have a foreign accent.  I finally called back again, ask to speak to a supervisor, was told to just feel free to talk with her, Joyce Oliver.  I asked what their address was where they conducted their business, she stated... 200 Independence Ave SW Human Health Services Tower  Washington, D.C.  20201.  That is the correct address for HHS, but she could not tell me why she was talking to me at 6 pm central time, when their office closes at 5 pm eastern time (for those who do not know, she is apparently working 2 hours after the office is closed, and man there are alot of them working by the background noise!).  So not only are they calling me from an office that is closed, they are using cell phones with various states, 202 is D.C., 407 is FL.

I just got a blocked phone call. The strong foreign accents guy told me that I have been approved for $10000 grant.. After I gave him my account number, I feel very strange and suspicious. He told me to call 202-660-4062, and talk with Amber Litten. Well I checked this number first and I read all messages written here. Thank you all for saving me!!

This is a foreign person who told me I won a grant.  Then he asked for all my bank information and told me to send some money to him by Western Union.  It is a fraud.

I got call saying 7000 dollar grant...send them 160.00...they called yesterday....happy I didnt send money

I got the same thing today.First call from975-900-3544, he said his name was Mark. Was told approved for 7000.00 grant didnt have to pay it back and no taxes. was given another number 202-660-4062 for a Christin (Kristin)  Morgan claimed this was a government grant. To wire 160.00 for needy people. Both had foreign accents.

Got a call from a private number n was on phone for about 30. Then was told 2 call 2026604062. The Guy wanted me 2 send 160.00 to western union. I told him take it out da 7000.00 n send me da rest. Hey got rude n hang up. Please investigate this. Both were foreigners.

Just received a call saying I was approved for 7000 dollar grant. Tried calling the number and no answer

Did u ever receive ur money

A guy named Brian Williams called telling me that I was selected to receive a 7,000 dollar grant that I would not have to pay back.he asks for my checking account number but I wouldn't give it to him and he said there was a one time fee om 150.00 that I had to send western union b4 I could receive the money.

:( i was told the same...except the so called guys name was bryan williams...he wanted me to send 150 dollars through the same way...he sounds foreign... and he said that i would get 7000 back once i went to western union and called him for the his info once i get there

I got a call for a seven thousand dollar grant n gave my information n western union 130 dollars is this a scam

oh the company claimed to be statepaydayloan

be careful with these type of scams, i got a call from a unnone number telling me that i had been approved for a loan ranging from $500-$1500 and all i had to do is contact a guy name micheal snyder at (646)915-1183 and he will send me the money western union and of course when i called he asked for me to send him $100 and he will send me $1500, then when i asked why do i have to pay for the loan he yelled that i was not paying for the loan and that i was paying for the application fee and if i didnt want to listen to him, i can just hang up, so that is exactly what i did.

A male just called my daughter's cell phone from this number. When she told him be had the wrong my number, he got rude and cursed at her like she was lying. I want the name of this company so u can report him and them.

They want me to send money to give money and getting an attitude when I asked him questions. Tried to call back but of course the phone was busy

Thats because Western Union is cracking down on this BS fraud and working with the authorities. They should verify all ids through an international id database before they allow any money to be sent or received.

if i send him 60.00 or 100.00 dollars they would release my 500.00 cash loan. thru westeren union.
but do not tell westeren union,what i was doing.
