Just received a phone call from "US gov't" stating I had won a grant for $7000.  They gave a "confirmation number" and requested I call 202-684-6393 to confirm the funds being sent.  The options of VISA, MasterCard, checking account, or cash were given as means to send the money.  I could hear several voices in the background, akin to a call center.  The lady I spoke with had a noticeable Jamaican accent, not thick, but noticeable.  I have not, and will not, call this number.  The number the original call came from was:  970-002.  Do not answer this call!

Same thing , they called me  telling me I got $7,000 from the  goverment and ask for my debit card or checking account to tranfer the money in my account, I refused and he said I can do it from the Western Union received that money cash.  I know is a scam

I got a phone call telling me that I would be awarded $ 7,000.  They gave the this number to call but I believe this is a scam.

They called and said they would give me money if i went western union and gave 260.00 dollars to a foundation is this a scam or what they said they would give ne 7000.00 dollars if i paid 260.00 dollars to the federal reserve bank

They told me that they are from US government and I have won some kind of money and thi is completely legal.
