Prank Call
I received the same call.  A guy named Simon Cordes (yea right) said I was selected by the US Grant Department out of Washington, DC. Said I qualified for the grant because I always pay my taxes on time (which I never owe) and I have not filed for Bankruptcy.  He said I could get the money through a debit card, checking account, or cash in hand.  Obviously, since I was seeing how stupid they thought I was, I chose cash in hand.  Mr. Cordes gave me an activation code with instruction to call his supervisor back at 1-202-684-3439.  I was told "HE, will be able to tell you where to pick up your money.  HE won't send you very far".  Of course like all the other comments he had a very strong accent.  Looked up the number and found all of this.  Just for fun, I called the number.  Got a WOMAN (not a HE) named Kelly Hopkins (also very thick accent).  She repeated that I needed to pick up a Green Dot Money Pack from Walgreens  like a million times.  Said I needed to load $300 on to the card and THEN go to a Western Union and she would stay on the line with me through the entire thing.  Since I was only curious as to which of the instructions listed in all of the comments on here I would be give,n and she clarified that for me, I HUNG UP.   UGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!  $8500 would have been nice had it been legit.  At least I saw all this first.

Just about same thing as everyone else except was saying I would get 8500.00 if I bought a greenback moneypak or something,  very difficult to understand through the thick indian accent, for 300 dollars and would refund instantly to get 8500.00. I live in dallas, tx and lady had to spell out name of city to me cuz she could not pronounce it.  If these people really were in the us and especially worked for the government they would pronounce things correctly and have someone that doesnt have such thick accents.  Scam all the way, if us gov were to give us money for nothing they would send it to us directly and also do you really think our government would give out all that money for nothing with the way our economy

I just got the call except mine is from (202)657-6041 and spoke to a " Mark Casper and was told to purchase a green dot money pack which is just a disposable debit card, and I'd have to upload $299 in order to get $7,900 transferred to my card or I can go to the IRS and pay them 700 in taxes and get 7,200 and when I opted to go that rout Mr. Mark Casper got heated and started rambling on in his native Hindu tung before calming down and trying to get me to do it his way

Richard Miller (if that is indeed his real name) is answering the 202-657-5204 number, saying that if you deposit 200 on green dot money pak that for every $20 you put on the money pak, it will increase the amount of the grant THEY can load onto the card. You must put 200 dollars on the money pak green dot card to get the full 7800.

They say you just qualified for a gov't. grant.  All you have to do is go to Western Union, put in money on green dot card $100 and you get $7800 in two minutes.  I called Western Union and was told that it's illegal for them to ask for a deposit and it is definately a scam.   I think all these calls are coming from the philippines  the call I got was from as it shows on my phone 202738181  has a number missing and if try to call back cant get through   if you look for the city codes in philippines that would come from Manila and there country code is 63    so If you want to call them back this is how 011+63+2+02738151 Call them back ask for the person you just talked too, bet they will be suprised.
BE AWARE OF ALL CALLS THAT COME FROM phone number that start with 202   SCAM

I was told because I had not filed bankruptcy or had a criminal record that I would be rewarded 9000.00 within 48hrs but this gentleman needed my account number or a major credit card (even at 0.00 balance) and then he would in turn give me a number to call with a code to receive the money. This was supposedly from the United States Federal Government and the number was from D.C. I gave them the number to my inactive but open savings account that had no money in it after I contacted the bank to have them "watch" my account. Called the number back and a female asked me if I had a checking account opened through New York such and such and of course I did not. She proceeded to tell me that if I opened an account at this bank with a 200.00+ fee, I would have the money in no time. When I asked her if she would just open the account taking the fee out of the 9000, she said, "Have a good day ma'am."

Yea I Just Got Off The Phone With Someone Named David employee I.D. # CN134  P#( 202-738-4294 ) and he told me i was randomly selected for a one time government grant award for $7500 and to send $270 through Western Union to NEPAL as a second repeat deposit so that my transaction could be saved online (Really) ...well while i was grilling him about the scam he was trying to run; sayin why the hell would anybody send to you $270 to get $7000 if this was legit i should have received a check already or a letter in the mail about it not a phone call from someone in India..thats when i decided to ask for his supervisor...when i was transferred i asked the same questions to the supervisor... who again told me to send money...then I asked to be transferred to someone in the states with an English Accent or his Leading supervisor...to Which he replied "F*** YOU STOP WASTING MY TIME AND TO GO TO HELL"   Now if your going to be asking people for money and claim to be working for the government im pretty sure you can not be saying things like that...........THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST SCAMS THATS HAPPENING NOW PEOPLE...DO NOT SEND YOUR MONEY....
