every story here matches what I just encountered except the name was Michael doris so be aware and don't give them anything.

Google you name, also your phone number. Anyplace like spokeo that shows up, make them remove it. Make sure you have no information on profiles that are open to the public or like facebook, make sure its all set to private. There is also this:

Thank you for the info!

How is it that they know full names and addresses as well?  It is extremely disturbing.

To report the fraud, go here:

Their number is listed , along with an email address, at the top of the page.

Just got a call that I was ok to receive a us grant for $7849. I was not ask to give any money, had a old checking account that I stopped using several years back so I gave them that number. If there is no money there tomorrow I will just close the account. But maybe Santa Claus is still alive lmao.

I just got a call from the afore mentioned  +52678945623. I didnt answer but they called twice. Also i dont typically answer for unknown/unavailable calls, however i got like 20 calls in one day from the unknown so i thought it was my psycho ex. I answered, irritated, and told him to f*** off. It wasnt him! There are some indian/arab guys calling people about his/her recent "bladder surgery" claiming he is representing a medical office. No office name. I stated that i never had it done. He said "my apologies maam. What kind of surgery was it if you dont mind?" I explained that ive never had a surgery in my life, that i dont know how he got my name or number but he needed to stop calling my damn phone or i would have it traced. He proceeded to try and calm me down. I got pissed and yelled, "ive never had a surgery, idc who you are, stop calling my phone. POINT BLANK!!!!" Yea, 20 mins later....he called again. Never asked him for his name though. Never again will i answer these calls. Honestly i changed my number too.

I got a call from      +52678945623   that is exactly how the number came up plus sign and all also an Indian or p***e  also telling me it was a one time thing for people with no criminal history and never declared bankruptcy he gave me a number and then he gave me a phone number to call and old me the guy I was calling was Mike Zane at (202) 738-1514 he told me I had to pay $320.00 to insure the money so I would not have to pay tax on it and he said he would issue it from the federal reserve I told him I did not have the money he said I could call him back when I had the money no problem I will pay the tax just send the money and he hung up

I just got a call from  them. Can some body tell me what is there web sit  so i can see whats going oñ

Said that I was supposed to receive seven thousand dollars in grant money from the government in 40-45 minutes and now won't answer the phone and when I called from another phone they put me on hold and hung up

Caller: "202" area  code  fake  calls ,  bogus / fraud  scam

How are these people pulling these scams so easily and not even american. Same as above I was chose for us government grant for a one time fee of 220.00 that I would receive back. My man's nsme was mike king. I would recieve 7834.00 in 30 to 45 minutes after they recieve the 220.00

I received this same call from a number that came in as unavailable. The man on the phone had a strong indian accent  and said his name was "Jack Brown" I said that's hard to believe that your name is jack brown. They also stated that this money did not have to paid back and was for people who have no criminal history and no bankruptcies. I kept asking Mr. Brown what program he was working for and he said this is the US government program, and i was like I understand but there are several programs that give out money, which one are you calling from. Thank God, i didn't get through for them to ask me for $250.00....

They called and said that the government was choosing people that dont have criminal backround and no bankruptcy and giving them 7,850 dollars and saying that u dnt have to pay them back but the funny thing was that he said that i had to send 250 dollars first i said really why would i send 250 if you guys r giving me the money that stupid
