No way he got the $$.  You know they were NEVER gonna send it.  I told them I've never heard of sending $ to receive $.  They hung up on me.  They did call back tho.they are very persistent.  Pushy even. I told them what they could do with their foney offer, they are just trying to rip people off.  I work too hard for the little bit of money I get.  For sure I'm not letting anyone rip me off.  People be aware.  If you're unsure,  please "ASK SOMEONE".  Don't take any chances with your money.    Susie  Salinas, California

Same scam. I was so disinterested(while pretending to go for it) they gave up on me. HA!HA! How many people have to get these call before the FBI shuts the phones down. Sheesh!

I received the same call that I was chosen to receive a grant for $9000 and I could choose where to pick it up and didn't have to worry about how I was getting the money. Was told to call his supervisor to confirm. These are scams!!

On 3/25/2014 I received a call from a male person stated he was calling me because I had been picked to receive a grant for $9000.00  and he told me I had to call his supervisor @ 202-697-9374 between 11:30 - 12:00 Washington time, then I received a call from the same person on 3/26/14 @ 8:26 am told me I could call Mrs Parker now called a male answered said thank you for calling Grants forwarded my call spoke to a lady stated she was Nicole Parker said that I was to go to Walmart or Walgreens buy a green dot card for $5.00 and deposit $230.00 into the card then call her back if you could please let me know if this is a scam or is it legal

Just received a call saying I won $9,000 she was getting up set cause she didn't get my zip code correct how do these people get you number like that the  FBI should keep tabs on people like that March15,2014 the woman that I spoke to her name is Nicole Parker this is the # 2026979374 she wanted me to go to WalMart get a green dot card put money on it then 30min later call her back the she would put me on the phone with her & someone else

Got a call from 202 697 9374 and they claimed I won a $9,000 grant.  They then tried to get me to pay them $230 thru a "green dot money pack."  I wasn't buying it and definately seemed like a scam.

I just received a call from some dude who said I was getting $9,000 and he wants me to call his supervisor at 202-697-9374.  He said his address is 200 Independence Ave. SW, Building HHH, Washington, DC 20201.  I receive a call from these scammers every day!  I tell them to stop calling but they ignore me.  Sometimes they say they are from Microsoft.  I have asked ATT to investigate and make them stop but nothing can be done.  I recorded the phone call and I have a new Apple app that traces source of prank phone calls.  I know exactly where their office is located in India.  I have given the recording and the location to the FBI and the local Indian authorities.  

What do u mean, u gave them the money and they gave u the $9000.?,,,,,,,REAAAALLY!!
