>> no answer after 3 tries.  <<

So, you tried calling the scammer back?
Really?
Did you bother to read the previous messages in this thread, ALL of which indicate it is a scam?

>> i believe it's been 2 weeks. <<
Do you mean you sent some money via green dot, and expected a $6000 grant in return?

Good grief!  P. T. Barnum was right!

i was told to call this number. ext-GAP3446. for a grant. on a friday. about 6pm. i supposedly was offered $6000. asked what would i do with it. i said home repairs.  said i qualified. no answer after 3 tries. no recorded message or anything. i believe it's been 2 weeks. i call now. it's disconnected.he said not to use the money to buy drugs. & i qualifed because i'd never filed for bankruptcy. never gave a name. asked was i single. who lived there with me. said i could either pick it up western union. or give my debit card#. he had a strong Indian accent.

I just got this call, had receive it before and hanged up on them . today i had the time to listing to him and i'm always very very careful i waited on him to tell me how much he new about me and when he asked how i wanted to receive my 7.000 i said "well if is something for me , free or gift or whatever why don't i get it on the mail? i do not EVER get excited about  "free things" if i get something unexpected would be a different way . i shouldn't be asked for any information. BE AWARE don't get excited.

I just received a call talked to jennifer park id# 92387 I knew that thi s was a scam

government  funds but need to gave hem 200 frist I said to what money  he said f*** man hu up name is max

I would like to know how they knew me better than my tax consultant! Said I was selected for a 7000.00 dollar grant and they would have it to me today.

Called that I won a govt. grant. scam

I got this same call almost 3 months ago but they got my money and everything...they still call saying I won grant money I reported it to the fdic

lol i just called asking for their government id number.. lol.. she cussed me out like i was the one running the scam.. HOW DARE SHE..  DONT BE STUPID PEOPLE

these people are crazy.. when i said i wanted to receive the money in cash instead of on my credit card the gut started stuttering.. yeah it's a scam alright..they want u to pay for free money and then they have access to your card so they can get the rest of your money... lol.. come on people do fall for the okie doke

I too just got this call. All they had was my phone number and name. I too was given the same number 202-738-4307 and was called from 202-738-2323. So I called them and they asked how I wanted my $7000. They asked if I wanted to deposit it into my banking account, pre-paid debt card or western union. I said western union. At this point they said that I needed to purchase a green dot card and put $299 on it to verify my identity. I told him that I couldn't do that twice, at which point he hung up on me. I would never give out my banking information to anyone that I didn't know who they were. Even if i had had the money I still wouldn't have given out that information. I have to say, don't fall for it.

I received a call from 202-738-2323 DC,USA I was told to call 202-738-4307 and give them my Grant Approval ID#...After I would complete the call with there "Finance Account Info" I would be able to pick up cash from a western union. I believe it's a scam! This should make news headlines to inform our fellow Americans of this predators.

I got the call today too. I actually listened to the entire thing and took the information down, simply so that i could report them. Knew it was a scam from the very begining. It is scary how much of my personal information they had though. The government will NEVER offer money. You can only ask for it and frankly, unless you are already very poor or involved in research or a non-profit, you are not getting. This is excluding school grants of course.

I received this call today and they asked me for my bank information so that they could direct deposit a federal grant. They did not have any specific information on me, other than what a background check might provide. I am a student and do receive grants for school, so to hear of a federal grant of this nature was suspicious. I did not give them my banking information and when I called the number back and asked for information about the organization because I was unsure of the creditability of the organization, I was hung up on. SCAM!

I hope she didn't!  It is 100% a scam!  You NEVER have to pay to apply or receive a grant!

As per the Federal Grants website at http://www.grants.gov

YOU WILL NOT BE CONTACTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO OFFER YOU A GRANT.
The government does not contact people to offer them money. If you do qualify for a government grant, the government does not request payment for it.

THERE ARE NO FEES ASSOCIATED WITH APPLYING FOR A GOVERNMENT GRANT.
Providing financial information to prove that you qualify for a government grant is typical, but you should never pay money to apply for a grant. People who run scams often claim to provide help and sometimes claim to be "federal government" officials, don't be fooled by these scams that request money from you.

ALL GOVERNMENT GRANTS INVOLVE AN APPLICATION PROCESS
If you have not submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it's a scam. Grant money is not given over the phone for a fee. In order to qualify for a grant you must apply for the specific opportunity that you are qualified to apply for.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS ARE AWARDED FOR EXPLICIT OPPORTUNITIES
Government Grants are typically awarded to states, cities, educational institutions, nonprofits and other organizations to fund research and other projects.

GOVERNMENT GRANT APPLICATIONS AND INFORMATION IS FREE
Be cautious of offers that ask for your personal information (especially financial) when requesting a fee to access grant information. You can always access free information about government grants and other benefits at Grants.gov and Govbenefits.gov

If you get this call, please report it to:

Did you do it and was it a scam

I just received the same phone call, as I am on the phone with these people I am looking up this obvious scam...and called the "verification" number to confirm my eligibility. I no more than asked the gentleman's name and I.D. number and did he hang up on me. Seriously, this is so sad....Don't fall for this crap people.

>> I talked to the irs they told they are wiring money through western union. <<

Incorrect.
The REAL IRS did not tell you that!

Things to believe:

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch (TANSTAFL)
If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
You have not won 7000 dollars from an unknown government benefactor
The tooth fairy really does not exist

There was a women who called explaining to me that i have 7 thousand dollars in unclaimed tax money. Send them 299 dollars to wire me my money also i will receive the 299 back on the wired money. I talked to the irs they told they are wiring money through western union. Irs told me that i dont need to send any money to receive unclaimed money. I should receive paper work if I where to be eligible. The woman who called new all my tax info. How much i made.where i have worked the last 4 years  3 dif employers. They new everything. You no the things only the gov and i should no. Be carefull. I am glad i looked on this site befor i was scammed.

I received a call stating i have received a grant.  Gave a # to call 202-738-4307  I believe its a scarm

Free government grant money but I need to purchase a green dot money back voucher and place $200.00 on it that will be refunded to me after I receive my free grant money for living in a choosing demographic area, having no criminal record and paying my taxes on time.
