I received suspicious call from an unknown number. The caller had a thick foreign accent and claimed to be from the United States Department of Grants. Haha. According to the caller I had won a grant from uncle sam that I had never applied for and they wanted to send me a little over $7k. After telling me about all the options for sending the money by either giving them bank account numbers or credit card info I told them I would love the money but was not willing to divulge that information to someone who had called me. No problem they said, call Allison at (202) 697-9228. This sounds like a scam, other people have said that once you call back they want you to wire them money through Western Union to receive your portion of the "Grant". Don't do it.

this just happened to me but they didn't say that I didn't have to give any money and with my being blind gave them my account information.

okay guys so I went further into this. this is CQ who posted that big long blog so I decided to go ahead and pretend like I was at the Western Union the man told me not to let the people at Western Union know that this was the government grants because they would charge me too much money. I responded with "oh  my goodness my government is asking me to lie that doesn't sound right?", but okay I played along well I'm sure you're just trying to help me out, so don't worry about it I won't tell them. so then after that he gave me his full name to send it to. at first they say his name is Austin kipv. which I'm sure he probably switch is his name up quite frequently.anyway the more information I can give you as that he had me wire the money to Poland ,mind you I'm pretending the entire time.then he gave me his full name to wire the money towhich by the way the money that he wanted me to wire was to go to this name jerzy chrosciicki wnetrzak.so it's quite obvious that this polish man is the 1 trying to scam everyone for their moneyI'm not really sure what to do with this information I don't know who you call if anybody can give me some feedback let me know if I were you guys and they tried to get me. Like he did. then I would post his name and that he is from Poland all over the internet blog as much as you can this is so wrong it is just stealing and it is crazy when I called him back and let him know that I had busted him he hung up when I call back again and pretended like I was someone else then he was very scared and hung up again if I were you I would call the 202 number back that called you and I would keep calling and keep saying you're busted we know your name there is no a federal government grant Commission and you suck at what you do. you should be shaking and your little polish boots( not that I have a problem with Polish people) but I do have a problem with a scammin con artist no matter where they come from and especially when they're trying to get American money and don't even live on our soil.I know it sounds pretty immature but I just think everyone should call the number over and over again and recite his name to him and let him know that he is so busted it is ridiculous.that's just my take on it you know I'm not really far left and I'm not really far right but I am very angry at people who try to get money from people in our country and we are going through the worst turmoil ever right now things are scary enough we don't need any of this going on please please help me and others to try to get the word out about this terrible man .again the number they called me from was 2026979228 which pans out as a Washington DC number however they are not in Washington DC. call him give him some of your thoughts.maybe he will be smart and scared enough to shut this crap down?I hope so like I said I just don't even know what government agency to call to report this to.Thank You if you read my blog however I did write it so that you guys would know what was going on when this crazy at creeperton tried to call you.

I agree with all of you I almost just now fell into the same thing they ask you to go to Western Union and you will get 7000 dollars after putting down a 290 dollar deposit they say they are from the federal government however they are from overseas and have a fake phone number that says they are located in Washington DC however that is just because technology can scam you know they don't ask you any questions they just ask you for your money they are fake I have done my research research and proved it there are so many blogs about this everyone needs to call the Better Business Bureau report report report shame on these people from overseas trying to take the money from our children these people are disgusting and ridiculous have no morals and need to be put away I hope that no 1 falls into this scam I really almost did shame on me too but oh well at least we all know now.oh and by the way there is no such thing as the federal grant Department if you look it up it says that it doesn't exist and also if you go on the IRS website it says that if anyone ever asks you for money and claims that they are giving you a grand then it is not legitimate it is not free and you are not doing anything but giving your money away

Beware of ph#s 7193447346&+11 21611611text#coloradoand ohio

It's a scam. Do not give your account number or send them money.

This man called saying I was chosen to receive 7,000dollars I'm thinking today must be my lucky ya right what agimmic please catch these crooks

got the same message he could not tell me the why about any of it, why i was getting it or why i had to give money

same here. But i hope this is a fake

They said they were callin from the goverment, that I got selected for winning money and they could wire it. That I had to put money down for a security deposit for like ten min. Then I would get it back plus the money I won. Yea ok if money was that easy to get we would all be rich.
