Same here. Just got a call from thus number telling me to call another number and ask for Judy Taylor. They said I had gotten approved for a federal grant and could pick it up at any Western Union.

ITS A SCAM Offering free grant money !

I also got a call telling I had been chosen to receive 9,000 in grant money. It was a lady I spoke with that told me to call a Judy Taylor. So i called a she answer & said if i could call her back in 40 minutes. I'm positive this is fraud.

I just received this call today from Crysten Watts (private number). She stated that I was able to receive a grant for 9500.00. I was chosed because I have never filed for bankruptcy and a clean criminal record.  I was told to call "Judy Taylor, Account Supervisor" (202-738-1806). Crysten stated that I only needed to give Judy my grant # and the funds would be released to me via checking account, debit card, or western union. I called the number also, never got an answer.  I will take the "free" money on a debit card but will not be giving out my checking account information.

I have a disabled husband who has been receiving calls similar to the other bloggers.I intercepted the call when "mike" asked my husband for his checking account number. I think its a shame we have to be on constant alert because of our democratic society. I believe that these folks are from overseas. Does anyone have any idea as to how we can bring them to justice?

Does anyone know who this is?

It doesn't matter what they offer. Be it "Grants", "Winnings"," Loans" etc; If they want money (in ANY form) up front...they are FRAUDS!  ALWAYS!  NO EXCEPTIONS!  EVER!
Especially if the words "Western Union" or "Green dot" or "Credit/Debit Card" come up!
Be Safe. Be Aware.

I just got the same thing, only I was given a confirmation number and to call 202-738-1806. I called the number, same lady answered the phone who said I could pick up my free money at any Western Union. I would just need to put up a $200 dollar deposit which I would get back in a few minutes with the $7000, making the total amount $7200.00. This is diffidently a scam. It the money was FREE, why a deposit.

i got call today and they told me to deposit 200 dollar refundable to get the aid claimed to be distributed by fedral authorities what are authorities doing

I got the same phone call  and I think this is a scam....do not give your checking account # to them...She told me to call Judy Taylor...

A man called me and said I was chosen to receive a grant for $7,000,00 to use in any way I wanted.  He told me to call this number 202[-738-1806 and ask for Judy Taylor about how I wanted to receive it.  I've been calling this number for two days straight,always getting a busy signal.
