It is a scam. You give them your account number; they have access to all of your money, current and future. Hang up the phone. If it sounds too good to be true it is. My person was viola keys, her numer was 202-738-1256

i got the same call!! but somehow they got all my info about where i'm living. what they didn't know is how old i am and i told them my age. But for the option of receiving i say in cash cause i didn't want to give them my account number. WOOT good thing i said that, and after that they told me to call kelly about receiving the 7000. I call and talk to her and she told me to hang on and then it hang up. I try to call back but the line is always busy... so i got kinda worried so i check this number online and this is what i found. woot now i feel more relax, i but i hope nothing wrong with just giving my age...

I got the same call saying that I was granted $7000 from the government. I recently had surgery and that cost me so much because I don't have insurance. There is an option which the government will pay your medical expenses for whom doesn't have enough income and I applied for that(this is a real one). So I was really expecting to receive some money or any information from the government about it, then I got this call!! I thought I was saved. They also give me confirmation ID# AK005. I gave them information which I shouldn't. But same as everyone, the phone was somehow hang up while I was talking to this Ms. Kelly Jones person when she was telling me about western union or whatever. I tried to call back many times but I couldn't reach them. Then I realized that maybe this doesn't sound right then I found this page. I called my bank and blocked my account and change the number. Thank God no one didn't touch my money yet.
These are the numbers I received.
Please be careful with this kind of call.

Just got a call about an hour ago said I was one of 1700 to get this 7000 grant. Im thinking maybe its a blessing seeing as I lost my job need to pay rent etc etc. They said its because I havent filed for bankruptcy and have a clean record. Im in the national gaurd im like sweet so I start talking the woman no name calls me by my first and last name tells me my address asked for age it all seemed legit except for that damn accent. kinda sounded russian or something foreign.I was told to call kelly johns to verify and i did give my card number which i shouldnt have done but it was empty anyway maybe had 2 bucks. its when she starts talking about western union to verify that i get real suspicious. she said that i had to deposit $310 before i could get the money but that it would be refunded. it just didnt make sense, if i send my ma western union she doesnt pay I do to send the money. I searched online and find scam scam scam same number same name

OMG I just got this call today saying the same $7000 and I never had to pay back since I'm one of the 17,000 people that they picked.. wtf kind of crap is that? Somehow they have my home address but I'll be leaving that place real soon so whew! I'm glad someone wrote about this the number was for Kelly Johns or something Senior account manager. This India lady was telling me she called from US Federal Government Grant Department. I'm just like Hmmmm... Kinda weird for our government to give us some money back. and yes she called from and outside US number be careful!!

Who is making these calls?
| JS 2012-12-15 17:25:37 Unknown |
I don't get this. I didn't give them any info, but my age, which is available on-line anyway. What is the scam?
| JS 2012-12-15 17:19:53 Unknown |
I received the same call. When I called the number, someone told me to hang on and then they hung up. When I tried to call back, the number was busy.
| Don 2012-12-01 16:15:24 Unknown |
I received the same message about a $7000 grant that never had to be paid off. I told her I was not giving anyone my account numbers and to just send me a check as she already had my address somehow.
The only difference is that a name and number did show up on my caller i.d.; Carl Steibel at 770-926-5021.

I got the same call with the unknown number, and said the same thing that the goverment wants to give me 7000 grand money, and to call the number, to get ahold of kelly jones, the line would ring, then get busy all the suddent.
| Anne 2012-11-28 18:04:06 Unknown |
I received an "unknown" number on my cell phone. Someone with a thick Indian accent said I had been given free grant money by the government for $7000. Would I like to receive it through credit card, bank deposit or cash. I said neither as the government should not be giving free money away. The caller told me to call Kelly Jones at 202-738-1256 for confirmation using a code AK005. When I called, there was no answer.
