I just received a call from a local # claiming he is calling from Washington DC. Also named Randy Orwell.  I didn't give him the chance to tell me what he wanted in exchange.  Govt. grants don't ask for money from you or deal with Western Union.

just got a call on my cell phone from a heavy accented man saying i had grant money coming from the us government for $7000.  He wanted to know the closest western union office so they could get the money to me.  also was told to go on line to google and type in teamviewer.com and answer some questions from there.  told him i did not have may computer on and he said he would call back in 2 hrs.  glad I read these statements. I won't be answering that call.

I just receive a like call stating you canb get a $7000 grant. I google their number and lead me to this site.

I just received this call too! I have had several missed calls from this number and today was the first time I talked to them. Indian/Pakistanian accent and wanted to let me know that I will receive 7,000 and to call Randy Orwel also. I talked to the guy who called me and he told me his name was Sam Burban and they are from the departement of educational grants. Said their address is 200 Independence Avenue in Washington DC at the triple axe building area code 20201. So I called "Randy Orwel" @ 2026846564 and it wouldn't let me through until after several attempts. I wanted to talk to this supposed Rany Orwel to see why the department would be working on a Saturday... knowing this was a scam I finally got through and the guy was RUDE and said he was Randy Orwel. I told Mr. Orwel that I wanted to know why his company was calling me and that I thought it was a scam he then said "Then maybe you shouldn't call me b*&tch" and hung up. WOW...

I just got a phone call from the same heavy accent, telling me the government chose me for a grant for $7,000 because I pay my taxes and have no criminal background. I told him the government doesn't look for people to give money to like that and it sounds like a scam. He assured me it wasn't and gave me a "confirmation number" As well as the same phone number to call 202-684-6564 to ask for Randy Orwell. What do these people actually think that there are that many people out there to believe that money will just fall into their laps? At least he told me Merry Christmas when he hung up.

the same has happen to me wanting me to seen them $190  to resive it .

I just got the call with the the same direction. I must admit, I wanted to go through with it. However, after thing about it and doing some research, I am super glad that I did not do it. The internet is a beautiful thing when it comes to situation such as this one.

I just received a call from 202-684-6564 claiming the government was giving grants awarded to 100 people in New Orleans, La. who pay there bill, haven't filled bankruptcy in the last 6months and have no criminal record. Call "Randy Orwel", they are stating they can e-mail the money to your account, or send you a Debit card for $10,000.00.    Please donot give out your bank account number.  What I'm wondering is if they are using your contact info to receive money from the government using your name as a client.

PLEASE BEWARE!   Prankerster for the Holiday

Got a call from an unavailable number, women with heavy Indian accent informed me I was chosen to receive a $7,000 grant for paying my taxes etc... Gave me a number to call 202-684-6564 and told me to ask for Randy Orwell and give me my money confirmation #. Haven't called, and after reading these posts I don't think I will.

i just got the phone call too! its like if you were to go to the western union you would be attacked or something!! he said to call when i got there and that he would give me 7000!! what in the world these people are nuts!

You just got scam... well not really.. at least you know it's a scam.

Have received numerous calls from 918-042-637809 on my cell phone over the past couple of days. Missed all until this afternoon. It was a man with a very pronounced Indian or Pakistani accent. I couldn't understand much of what he said, but enough to know it was some crap about receiving $7,000. I hung up on him. Seriously???

Just received a call from 918-042-637809 and a man (very heavy east Indian accent) told me I had been selected to receive a grant of 7,000. He have me "money confirmation number" and another phone number to call. "Randy Orwell" went on to explain that I just needed to put down a deposit of 190 at the nearest Western Union to receive my grant money. Thought this was a scam so I Googled the numbers and looks to be a scam.
