Got phone call from the following numbers saying that we would get $ 8400.00 federal government money. The phone numbers are 202-666-8103 and 202-905-0702. When my husband called them back to give claim number to receive money they wanted a $ 250.00 processing fee I then told them if the money was mine give it to me. Then the guy said f*** you and hung up.

I just received a call from that number from the same lady trying to get my information. When I asked her what company she represented she disconnected with me. I looked up the number on reverse phone lookup and it says she's calling from Washington DC. I believe its a scam. The only time the government calls you on the phone is to collect money not give money. They usually send some type of form in the mail explaining why you get the money.

My daughter received a call from this number and they told her she just got accepted for a college grant of $8,000.00 and all she needed to do was provide them with a bank acct for them to transfer the money. When she told them she needed to call them back with the info they told her is okay we will call you back later so you can give it to us. I smell a big scan here.

I have received the same call and when I called Kelly Powell back she told me the same thing about sending her $212, I replied with "y don't u just take it out the money you r giving me?" she hung up and will not answer my calls anymore! They need to be reported and stopped!

I received this call a few days ago and they have called three times since in one day. the first time I answered I acted normal and she asked my name which she some how already had. the second time it was hello and click... hung up on. so I decided that if they are harassing me I will have some fun with it. the third time she called and I put on my Afghanistan rag head voice that you hear at a common 7/11 and she had to ask twice it I was actually the person that owned the phone. it was hilarious. I got to ask her name four times and I could tell she was frustrated. then asked if I could take the 8400 she said I would get paid back to my home country( i'm American all the way, American by birth southern by the grace of God). as soon as I mentioned sending it by check she hung up. what a great day!

I received 2 calls this morning, one from 202-666-8041 and one from 202-470-111. Both of them told me I was selected to receive grant money of $8,000 and asked for my debit card number and bank account number. When I questioned them about why I was selected and said I wouldn't give my account info over the phone and wanted proof, they both hung up on me.

A woman called me on my cell phone. She sounded like she was Russian or Philippine and said that she was from the Federal Government and that they want to give me $8400 and I do not have to pay them back. She kept asking me for the name of my bank and want my bank account number.
I told her to write this down so I can give her my bank account number, ready? F-U-C-K-Y-O-U got that? and I told her I was going to report her to Immigration. That's when she hung up.

I received the same phone call today. When I asked who I could call to confirm this with because it seemed odd he promptly hung up. Reading these post it seems like many people mentioned that they were in college or around that age. I am wondering if they got our numbers off of a database we used for college purposes (fafsa, a scholarship or financial aid application, etc). I think that makes sense since they are using a "grant" as their way to get your bank information. Either way it is very annoying and they need to be stopped.

I just got the same call. The US Gov. was going to give me $8400.00 grant but wanted my checking account info. My number is unlisted but he had my name. I want to file a report also.
| Ajahnae 2013-06-19 16:56:55 Unknown |
Okay I got the same call but after I questioned itI gave my info anyways. What do I do now?

This number called me on 17/06/2013, I picked the phone, a voice of a certain man asked if I am..., I said yes and he told me that he was calling from the government transitional department and he added that my name has been selected for $8000.00 grant and that I am not going to pay my bills this month. I told him I do not get what you are saying.Then, the man hung off the phone. I called the number back and I found the answering machine.

This number called me and asked for my 10 yr old daughter. When I asked why he wanted her he said because I love her. I told him she was 10 and if he called here again mybfbi husband would find him.
| Moll 2013-06-18 23:37:53 Unknown |
Said I got a US grant of 8400.00. How do I want to get it. Do u have bank card, Walmart card, if so give me the card number and we will put the money on it.
Everyone needs to know this is a scam. Get the word out there.
| tierra 2013-06-18 22:08:56 Unknown |
They just called me like im stupid.... i feel victim last week to a scam artist i learned my lesson never again.. Dont trust them
| KT 2013-06-18 21:52:21 Unknown |
The same thing happened to me minutes ago. A man with broken English informed I had received $8,400 that From the U.S Federal Government that I didn't have to pay back. I of course pressed him to tell me just the NAME of this "grant" to which he disconnected the call. They should be arrested, because somebody is eventually going to fall for that. I'm a college student, of course I wished that was real.
| Not saying 2013-06-18 20:42:15 Unknown |
Just block their number, if you have a droid try using the app Vault its really help ful.
| Not saying 2013-06-18 20:41:30 Prank Call |
This number is a scam. You can block their number in your phone or use apps such as vault. Once you block their number they can not get a hold of you.
| Brandon 2013-06-18 20:22:34 Unknown |
I want them to stop calling
| Anonymous 2013-06-18 18:56:22 Unknown |
Total scam. Please don't fall for it, people! Is there a way to report these numbers?
| Jenny 2013-06-18 18:41:43 Unknown |
I got this same phone call and they wanted me give me 8400.00 and when I told them if the money was meant to be mine, they could send me a check or cash. That is when he started to back pedaling and making excuses. When the number was called back, got a recording that all circuits are busy. What a joke!
