No - it's a scam.

As per the Federal Grants website at http://www.grants.gov

YOU WILL NOT BE CONTACTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO OFFER YOU A GRANT.
The government does not contact people to offer them money. If you do qualify for a government grant, the government does not request payment for it.

THERE ARE NO FEES ASSOCIATED WITH APPLYING FOR A GOVERNMENT GRANT.
Providing financial information to prove that you qualify for a government grant is typical, but you should never pay money to apply for a grant. People who run scams often claim to provide help and sometimes claim to be "federal government" officials, don't be fooled by these scams that request money from you.

ALL GOVERNMENT GRANTS INVOLVE AN APPLICATION PROCESS
If you have not submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it's a scam. Grant money is not given over the phone for a fee. In order to qualify for a grant you must apply for the specific opportunity that you are qualified to apply for.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS ARE AWARDED FOR EXPLICIT OPPORTUNITIES
Government Grants are typically awarded to states, cities, educational institutions, nonprofits and other organizations to fund research and other projects.

GOVERNMENT GRANT APPLICATIONS AND INFORMATION IS FREE
Be cautious of offers that ask for your personal information (especially financial) when requesting a fee to access grant information. You can always access free information about government grants and other benefits at Grants.gov and Govbenefits.gov

If you get this call, please report it to:

Survey
This number called me talking about $10,200 in free grant money from the goverment. I know its a scam!
Why would they ask for $180.00 bucks to process the money if it wasn't. Then she said I was selected because I have not been in any trouble which is very incorrect. I have been to prison twice and just got out two months ago.

They just tried to pull the crap on me. Only they want me to go get a green dot card. I could hardly understand the broken english and he's trying to get me to believe he's from the U.S. government.

just got this call not to long ago. I was promised $10,200
free Gov. Grant money, that I will never have to pay back.
from the federal Reserve of new york. once in a life time opportunity.
everything was sounding good till I gave them a prepaid card number. and they asked that I load $180 to cover tax on it.
that they would stay on the line withme 30-40 mins till it clears. I was supposedly  pre selected. SCAM was running through my mind the whole time.  got a approval number. and all. I sure as hell am not paying $180. :\

Political Call
Just got the same call.  First from "Cindy" (likely the only middle eastern Cindy ever).  Then I was to call (middle-eastern) Michelle Miller at 202-697-9182.  (I'm feeling dumber and dumber as I type this out... It just sounded so legitimate.  And I had recently applied for several grants bc I'm trying to go back to school and I'm too indebt to do it.... Soooo, I fell for it guys :-/.
I didn't send them the "$180" transaction fee, bc I don't even have $180.  I did however give them my bank account number, bc the First Lady asked for it before they asked for the $180 up front (after verifying other very specific and personal info that they ALREADY HAD!!!).  I don't have any money in there anyways, but still.
I'll he going to the bank first thing in the morning to get this taken care of and change accounts.

Yeah!they called me too!Check this out! They said my grant is for $10,200.00,sound familiar?
   Wanting me to send $180.00 thru prepaid credit card since that's all I have! I don't have a regular bank account...So here is what I did:I called them back and lied to them and said I don't have the money,however a friend is beside me with a check filled out for the $180.00 who do I make the check out to and what's the address? Her response was we don't accept checks!! I said why not?
She said we only accept thru prepay,greendot,ect.,well I told her I contacted the Fed.Reserve Bank of N.Y. and they don't handle such grants,ect. and they will not call you!!She got so mad at me and said:
and I quote:why don't you cooperate with me!!!SHE WAS EXTREMELY PISSED!!! I almost said prob,because I work hard enough to keep the thing's I do have!!Not only that but have you people who get these calls written a grant proposal??If not than why would someone give you a grant??SINCERELY YOURS; I'm not STUPID!!!!!!! wHY DO'N THEY GET A JOB INSTEAD OF CONNING PEOPLE?tHAT'S THE AMERICAN WAY!!

Call your bank or credit union ASAP - they should be able to reverse the charges.  Remember - to get a grant, you actually have to apply for one.  And you NEVER have to pay money to receive a grant.

I do not know what number called me because I do not have caller Id.They called me and gave me the 202-697-9182 number to call and I guess to verify everything. I dont know why because the Guy who called me had most of the info already. This is the 1st time this has ever happened to me he talked real fast and I ended up giving him my debit card info so hey could transfer the money to it. I am not stupid even though I feel stupid right now. P.S. My caller said his name was George Stevenson and the Grant was for 10.200. He even gave me a transfer code.He said it would take an hour or so. I kept calling the number and it rang and rang until a voice recording came on and said, Your party is nor answering please try your call later.  I feel sad.

I am currently on the phone with them...I gave them an empty acct that i don't use and I am trying to see what they are going to do... They haven't asked me for any money but said that i qualify for this money because I have no felony charges and that I pay my bills on time...it's funny because i called this number while I was on the other line with the other number that called and heard the same TV in the back ground.

Hi gunner just wanted to let you know and everyone else that these people actually had the audacity to call me back and a try to get me to believe that they were from the government and then they only asked for four dollars and some odd sense but when I spoke with the second person they wanted me to send them by Western Union and hundred eighty nine dollars this is definitely  needs to be done before someone person that doesn't know any better get all their money taken from him what kind of scumbags do something like that is just such a shame trying to steal from people that are hard work in United States citizens the work hard for our money so some other people can just try to take it I don't think so by the way I loved your post to at least you're honest

I read your post I do a little investigating myself and you are absolutely right I don't know why people think they are receiving this money when it is nothing but a scam and the guy just had the audacity to call me back and I argue with me to try to tell me that it's not a scam have you ever heard of United States government acting like a child and cursing at you on the phone cuz I've never heard of that you are absolutely right this is definitely a scam and something needs to be done before somebody that doesn't know what you're doing and they get all their money taken I feel so sad I told the guy pray for soul and then he hung up on me
