No, it is not real.

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

I received a call from a woman that told me a b***s*** story and then had me call another number were a man with an accent picked up and told me his name was Andrew Rosa and gave me the same b***s*** story and proceeded to tell me I had to buy a Green Dot card from Walgreen's  and put $250 on and then call him right back with the card information and not to tell anyone about our phone call because he would hate if someone else claimed the $9,200.

Advising a grant from government is awaiting for 9250.00

Yoooooo that's crazy they got me for 800$

These n****s got the s*** outta me

No, they do not give you the money. There is no money. There is no such Government Grants Program.  The only purpose of the call is to steal as much money from you as you are stupid enough to give them.

Do they still give you the money if it a scam n can u get introuble for it

And yes I had them call me to and tell me I just had to go to walmart n get a card in then go to the bank n they would put the money on their

The first call I got was from a number that game up as unavailable. When I answered I was told about the $9200 grant I would receive if I called 202 738 4649 The lady who called me first and the man who had answered when I called the 202 number both had heavy India accents. When I told the man at 202 number, after giving him the ID number that I was skeptical he said a bunch of stuff I couldn't understand he hung up on me. I called him back and he started in again with the same s**t I told him I was recording the phone call he said that was alright he was too said some stuff I couldn't understand and hung up again. Called back a Third time this time no one would answer the phone went to voice mail knew it was a scam now. 30 minuets went by and a scammer named Sam Brown called me back from the 202 number to insure me that it wasn't a scam. I really knew it was a scam when he transferred me to his boss the State Attorney with the heavy India accent to assure me. this is a Scam beware!!!!

Sorry to tell you that you will not get that money back because it was a scam. That number is almost on every Fraud/Scam Report websites. Someone with a heavy thick Indian accent claiming they are working for the U S Grant Department.

I guess you didn't read the other posts here.. Yes its a scam, you actually have to go to the government web site and fill these out for grants. The government doesn't cold call you, nor do you pay a advanced fee to receive one.

To report the fraud, go here:

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

I received a call today saying that I was awarded a grant in the amount of $9,200.00.  Is this for real or just another SCAM?
Has anyone ever received any funds?

I just received the same call requesting i make a $330 security deposit before i can receive the grant money. Again a person's of India decent. Sam Brown.

I received a call from an unknown number and he said his name was raymond arch from the us federal grant dept.  He gave me a grant ID# and told me to call the 202-738-4649 and provide that number he gave me to them. He said that i have a grant for 9200.00.  When i spoke with the other dept which they called the verification dept i spoke with a matthew roser who wanted me to buy a green dot card and go to the bank i needed 230.00 i never did this it didnt sound right they still are calling me.

received a call from 1-730-102       an incomplete number showing up was my first clue it was a scam.  Secondly, if the US Government was giving out grants, that do not need to be paid back for "having paid your bills on time, paying your taxes and no arrests in the past two years"  It would be on the national news and the newspaper headlines......and those whining babies in congress would be filibustering about it!   so...of course I did not call the number and give the code I was asked to call......202-738-4649   give a 4 digit code. and they would tell me how to have the money deposited!  

I just received this call about 5 minutes ago. I could barely understand the Indian woman on the other end of the phone. I took down the info and called back immediately. As the conversation started I told the Indian man that I thought this was a scam. He said "You think this is a scam?" and then he hung up on me..The incoming call I.D. was 730102 ??? I was told to call 202-738-4649 ...  What's strange is, according to my phone history they have called twice today. So was I supposed to get $18K? LMAOROF !!! REALLY ??? FREEKIN IDIOTS !!!

number just called me and after reading this post because I knew something was fishy I told him I was gona contact the authorities scammer#ratchett#

I received that call , name kevin mccardy, to get a goverment grant money of 9k, but I had to get a green dot card, load $210.00 on it, call them back to get a 6 digte numeber take that to the bank. Then they would put the 9k on the card or that bank.....when I asked him the name of the company or grant, he got mad and rouge and hung up on me three times. Also he said they would not mail nor deposit it in the bank. Just dont fall for it!

I JUST GOT THE SAME CALL I EVEN CALLED THEM BACK TELLING THEM THEIR SCAMERS AND HE HUNG UP ON ME... 2027384649 THIS NUMBER ALONG W A ID NUMBER WAS GIVING TO ME TO RECEIVE 9200 WOULNT IT BE NICE IF IT WAS TRUE!!!

I also received a call from this #.
The scary part was he had the city I live in, zip code & current phone # (obviously since he called) but my phone is registered in a town 170 miles south from where I live.  The address is recent since I just moved here as previously I was in a totally different zip code.  He talked I listened. Same blah,blah,blah about free money $9200. Gave me a # to call back to - will it happen...Not this life time. Government $$?  ahhmm HELLO...Government shutdown?  This is a SCAM for sure.  Heads up folks.  

HE TRYED TO PLAY ME AND WHEN I CALLED HIM OUT THE KERST ME OUT I LAFT I ALMOST BELEAVED HIM BUT SOMETHING WASENT RIGHT

The Same thing just happened to me. Some Indian dude told me to call this number to claim my $9,200.  When I told him I was skeptical he got defensive and hung up. I called back to remove my number from call list and he said he would find me and "snot" on my mouth. To which I replied, "f**k you, you sand blank! If u ever read this you lil retarded Indian, I hope u decide to atop being a worthless piece of sh*t an get a real job.

I need help concerning this call, because I need my money  back.

I am requesting some help concerning this call, because I paid a lot of money to still haven't receive what they called me for.

I received the same call from a number from a 723 area code.  I could hardly understand the lady with her poor English , but she sounded from India.  She also told me I could use the grant money for whatever I wanted.  Sounds fishy to me.  I have been looking to go back to school and have inquired at several schools online, leaving my phone number, which was a mistake.  I now get calls from all over the US from telemarketers.  I am sure this is how they got my number and why they are using the "Grant" scam.

They are not smart.

Got a call saying I would recieve 9,520 in grant money from the government if I call this number. Said I had to go to the nearest western union to make a security deposit of 320 dollars and I would recieve a grant of 9,200 along with the security deposit back for a total of 9,520. The guy who first called me from NJ sounded exactly the same as the guy from the second number I had to call which was located in DC. This is a SCAM. He wanted me to call him back when I got to the western union so he could give me more information. SCAM. I told him not to call this number ever again I wasnt depositing any money to recieve a free "grant" from the federal govenment and that this is a SCAM. He replied "[removed:lang]? SCAM!!!!!

I think the Pakleds are about to kidnap Commander La Forge!
"They give grants that make things go."
