This call actually started with an incomplete number,  234-566-780, and the IT department traced the line through my phone by using a captured algorithm to fill in the last numbers, and then had the attorney's office call it, whereupon the man on the other side said to call 202-738-4339... there, the attorney was told that, because we live so close to the border, we qualify for a $7000 grant for education, and then told her to give him her banking number so that he could secure $250 for the $7000... we live in a one-party state, only one person needs to know the conversation is being recorded... good luck, she's on your case now... and she's a pitbull on stuff like this.

 thank for helping me for my further education..................

Thank for the federals grants department ... for the cute  helping help......

p.s. my call came in today under 202-88-3262 as a voice mail from the IRS and it was barely understandable.

"Ambriel" ?, really?  Do you think anyone believes what you just wrote, and in broken English at that?   Nice try "Ambriel".  And STOP CALLING.

thank you grants dept..i got my grants..i really need this money its going to help me in my further education...thanks for the help.....

Yeah I just got the call too... could barely understand the foreign accent through the crappy signal. I took all the information, told him I wanted cash (audible sigh from his end) and then googled it. But I already knew what I would find. I am reporting this and you all should also. The number called from (caller ID) was 234-566-780 and a missing digit. The number I was told to call was 202-738-4339. He said some BS about filing my taxes on time, never being on unemployment, etc and, even though he knew my name, number and where I lived, he obviously did not know I have been on unemployment twice for plant closings. He assumed I work (I do, part time) but I am a full doctoral student and know all about grants. They are not done like this! Especially with a government grant, the process to apply and be accepted is horrendous! Do people actually fall for these jokers? I wanted to give the 7k to him so he can buy a clue.

The phone number 202 7384339 ext 141 name was jacquline saying she was from the gov n I had 7000.00 in my name unclaimed. All I had to do was buy the greendot card n put 300.00 in there and it would 15 min to get my money plus the 300.00 I paid out of pocket. What got me was having to pay for the card n puttin money in there just so it can be sent back. HUGE SCAM!!

Omg I just got the same call. What a joke. They said it was from the reconstructive and rehibilitation act of 2009. Lol. They said 1500 civilians were picked this year to receive it. I was one of them. I gave gim a debit card number to put the money on and then at the last minute he said but first we need to charge a one time fee of 300 that I would get back in 15 minutes cause they were depositing 7300. Anyway... I said "how funny cause the govt doesn't charge to give a grant. I know this cues the grants in college. He was kind of hesitant and tried to out smart me with jibberish .. I then brought out what broke him.... I continued "my husband is a detective for city of Tampa police dept. and he just did a sting on stealing and filing taxes under recently deceased or elderly people. I said I don't have the money in there yet but when he gets home I will call you back and we can use a different account #. And he has connections with the government in Washington so he can check into it a bit just to be on the safe side. Lol. He started yelling and said fine don't call back and don't do it. You don't have to believe me and hung up...... Crazy. Btw.... That was an account I really do have but it has 3.00 in it and we are closing it tomorrow and planned on it beforehand cause we opened one up at a credit union. So I admit I was falling for it until he said but wait!!!.... We need to deduct 300 first... Then it was game time!!! I made that all up. My husband is not a detective lol

These people keep calling me to say that I have won some money and want me to send them some.  They call me four or five times a day.  I am so sick of them calling.

Just got the same call

Got a call saying I won 7000.00 for paying my bills  on time funny cause I filled Bankruptcy last year its a SCAM BEWARE!!!

Oh yes the guy who called me and told me to call 202-738-4339  was Christopher Williams and his employee Number is 32461 I think it's safe to say he is not from America, very hard to understand.

They're still at it I got a call today saying I was receiving a $7,00.00 Government Grant telling me the same thing they told Mbetanco.  I never called the number they told me to call.   I'm sure glad I googled the phone number.

I just got the same phone call. Anyone figure this thing out?

I got a call saying I was chosen to get $7,00 of a government grant because of my timely tax filing, no criminal record and never filed for unemployment. They knew my age. I asked why are is the government giving me money when we are in so much debt as a nation? They never answered my question. They want me to pay $250 to the Federal Reserve to receive the $7000 tax free money. Sounds like a scam to me. I could barely understand the two different men I spoke with not even their names. What is this all about?

i also got a call saying i had won 7,000 grant money but, need to pay a 250 fee to receive that money.

Recieved a call stating that I had been granted $7000.000 to further my education. The minute I started asking department numbers, ext to phone lines and address I got hanged up on.. They wanted my account number to deposit the money.  Whatever!!!!

Called me and I could not understand what they were saying. They gave me this number to call back 202 738 4339. They claim I have been granted a once in a lifetime grant for paying my bills on time. Hilarious considering I filed bankruptcy in 2011. Clearly a scam . They want $250.00 to process your grant. Are people really that dumb they fall for this weak scam?

I had a std come in saying that the caller was offering my international student grant money which the govt does not offer such grants to international students. after further investigation it is believed to be a scam they ask for your personal info so they can "send" you your grant of $7,000 but ask for a $250.00 down payment first. Grants do not ask for downpayments before sending you money and they dont ask for a down payment first and they dont give international students grants. This has SCAM written all over it. BEWARE!!!

i also got a call saying i had won 7,000 grant money but, need to pay a 250 fee to recvice that money.sounds like a scrame big time!!!

Same hear  got a call that I won 7k but have to give them $250 to get it

Caller said that i have won a $ 7000.00 government grant and all i needed to do was pay a 250.00 to pick up a money order for the grant , ok first of all you never win anything unless you did actually enter a legit contest which i never entered any contest for this , so i pretty much thought that this had to be and or was some sort of a scam , usually in most cases if you win something you would not have to pay anything to get what you have won unless of course its the lottery and taxes are already taken out of your winnings and your given whats left.
