If you give them your info they'll charge you for a magazine prescription. Don't answer any 202 area code numbers saying that they're from the government and if it's too good to be true usually it's fraud.

No.  Total scam.  Ignore 'em.  Hang up on 'em.

DON'T DO IT, BEST CASE THEY BEAT YOU OUT OF $180 ON THE PAYPAL GREEN DOT CARD;  WORST CASE, THEY GET YOU TO PUT UP THE $700 INSURANCE REQUIRED BY THE DEPT. OF STATE.  THEN THEY WILL SUGGEST YOU VERIFY BY CALLING THE DEPT OF STATE AT 202 697 9074
SCAM, SCAM, SCAM

I just received a call from them saying tthe same crap. What do I do???

Got a same call wish I had read this before...gave them my card but it has 0 balance and my bank doesn't allow me to go negative luckly...

They called me from this number stating that I had been granted 10,200 all I had to do is get call another number to confirm then I was asked to pay 180 which is required by the government to pay that's when I knew it was a scam. You don't pay to get free money please and on top of it all they wanted me to pay with money pack ...,please don't be fooled they are out there getting innocent people who are in need.  Another thing to note is that all of them have an Indian accent and supposedly they are from DC ....these scammers are in India that's why it's easy for them to scam us because the US government can't do anything about it.

Same here I gave them my credit card information they told me that I have to go to the store n get a money pack card with the $180 on it .... Than call them back n give them a # on the card n the money they send will come into my bank the same day. I ask was this fake they say all they calls are recorded they work for the government

Call your credit card company NOW and dispute the charge as fraud.  They may be able to remove the charge.

I had the same thing they ask for my credit card information I mistakenly gave it to him and then they wanted me to purchase another card to send the hundred eighty dollars to. So I asked why do I need another card and he stated that they could not use the card information that I gave them so I have to open a new card so I could send it to Hey charity organization...

Same thing here word for word

Called me saying that I had been selected for a grant of $10,200 from the government and I had to pay a $180 processing fee to recieve the money by wire transfer within 30-40 minutes. Both people that I had talked to had an indian accent and was hard to understand.
