and the grant is a 7,000 to be picked up at a western union... with a i.d number and to call a 202 6210436
number. thanks for the heads up.

We got one of these calls today from 202-470-0874. This is a scam.

Yep, talked to Mark Soscer(lol) Some rag head 2068665663 Says I have been chosen for a 7000 dollar grant but the first time it was 7800, but wanted my checking account and routing number, yeah ok Im gonna give you that. Then says I can pick it up at Western union for a one time fee of 270.00 lol I cant believe people fall for this stuff. I enformed him I was reading about the scam at the second on the internet and he got pissed and was like then why are you calling us, I was like you called me , do***e bag and he hung up, to funny!!!!!!

Any government agency should be able to provide you with your social security number, so if you ever are questioning that it is a government agency ask them that. They called me and i believed it for a minute but then i asked them to provide me with my social and they hung up!!!!!!

"David Max" and "Ginni Khurana" are trying to run a scam. Dont send them $312. You will never see it again. I had the number traced to Washington and then back to India.

got the scam today i even went to western union store  and picked up form and took home!the never gave me the money transfer control number but wanted me to send them a deposit so they could release the money! dont trust them i gave nothing and got nothing!david macc is an indian scam artest!

THIS IS A SCAM. This is a version of the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a grant, loan, lottery winnings, interest rate reduction, gift card, refund, doggie, cruise, vacation, free gas, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, registration, insurance, secure handling, processing, etc. They may send you a fake check, may want your credit/debit card or bank account number,  or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. They can put recurrent difficult-to-cancel monthly charges or a 1-time charge on your card or bank account, and sell account info to other criminals and you'll have to replace accounts altogether. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone. If they want you to call them up for instructions, they may tell you not to discuss the wire with Western Union desk clerks but the real reason is WU clerks are familiar with these scams and will warn you not to wire the money. Report to US Postal Service Inspectors https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG, as appropriate.

Just received a call from this guy with a broken middle eastern accent stating that I was to be awarded a government grant for $5200.  I just applied for a grant approx 1 week ago, not sure where this guy obtained my information, but I figured it was a scam because he wanted more information from me.  Just didn't sound right...after researching the number, it appears that this is indeed a scam.  Don't fall for it and pass the word.

Thanksa

I got a call from the same guys telling me i got a grant from the red cross for 5200,  but they needed a deposit through western union for $184. then they said that they messed up on my middle name on the file, and could not access the grant money, but for $368 they would try to access it again. by this time I knew something was wrong. I am embarrassed to say that i did send them the 184. and that was definitely not money that I could afford to lose. I really wish that i had looked up the number before I went to the western union. PLEASE DO NOT give them anything! I am so mad right now!

Just received a call and they said that we should go to the nearest western union and they would send us $5200.  They said we should call when we got there.  And talk to a Mark Smith or Jack Harvard at the western union.  Is a western union employee helping these guys? They said they were employees of the us government.

I recieved a phone call from this person saying that I had an outstanding bill in the amount of 123.00 from my local phone company and that they were hired on behave of them in 2010 to get this payment.

REAL FUNNY because I paid this less then 6 months ago. So it was--in the past listed on my credit report---not any more.

Long story short I called qwest phone and they said they never had anyone listed as that to retrieve debt and to let them know qwest does not have an account with them and I do Not owe ANYTHING to them.

Watch out they are sneaky little B**CHES that will try to steal money from you. I would have normally gave up my info b/c I hate things listed on my credit. Advice from me DOUBLE CHECK ALL DEBT COLLECTORS WHO CALL YOU...THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT DEBT COLLECTORS : ) I also reported them to the police

Just got the call from these guys and did a search. Got this page. After I spoke with the first guy I said that I was sorry but I couldn't understand eveything the first guy said could he repeat it. He did, so I asked him what branch of gov. he was with. Health and Human Services. I was randomly picked for this grant. That suprised me because my understanding was when applying for a grant you must meet the required qualifications for said grant and then you may be awarded that grant. Nothing random about it.  With the way our government spends money I'm sure they don't need to resort to Western Union. I'm quite sure that to have the check released to you there would be forms (3 copies of each) to fill out at a government office downtown to keep another union government employee on the payroll. Just to apply and qualify for a grant is quite the process. Also be weary of calls saying that they will write a grant proposal for you for just a small fee. This puts you no closer to getting a grant and as I found out the person I spoke with got personally insulting and upset when I deciced not to pursue his companies help with getting a grant.

These guys stole over $500 from me. I had to lock my bank accounts and go to the police.

I fell for part of this scam and reported them to the police. They still answer when I call so I keep torturing them. I hope I am ruining their day. One hung up on me when I asked him if he knew what Karma was. Hit a nerve?

Just recieved a phone call today from  777 988 0780 said his name was mark SMITH (duh..smith? really?) Said I had a 5000 grant. Said he was from US government. Anyway I will report him his call back number is 206 201 2624 if anyone wants to call him back and offer him a grant lol
I think I will mess with him big time today.
Best part is they are reading from a script and he keeps loosing his place so he says ok 5 times then reads through it while your on the phone LOVE IT! Stupid people from India.

They just tried to scam me.  Good thing you can google numbers and get replies!  I'd love $5200 but this, unfortunately, is pure scam.

My question - Why would you win/receive grant money from the US when everyone in the call center is from India!?  (yes, I can hear ya'll in the background).

I Received a phone call from David Max on November 2,2010 and he told me he is working for government grant and red cross and my name came up for the grant and he will give me $5200 as a grant but I have to deposit $312 to make sure I am the right person and also to open the grant from computer so I was not satisfied with his conversation but next day he called me again and said if I deposit this money in the amount of $312 payable to Dutta Sanat from India through Western Union and he will release the money in the amount of $5200 plus $312 total of $5512 through western union in five minutes and I didn't have money at all that time but I gathered from my wife and children's piggy bank and went to western union so they gave me the MTCN number which I Gave to David Max over the phone ( 315 510 4222) and he told me to hold for five minutes to give me all information and after Five minutes David Max said phone 206 201 2624 and talk to get or zet Carter so I did and mr Carter said You forgot to write S in the middle of your name as I wrote Harbans Hundal in stead of Harbans S Hundal and our computer has blocked the information and you make an other payment of $312 and he will release the fund $ 5200 plus $312 plus $312 total $5824 together. I went to western union and explained this storey and she found out that the money already has been picked up in Indian Rupees of 13,541.37 in India.and I spoke again with David Max and he said he can't do anything now.So please DO NOT EVER BE FOOLED by these people

Thank you

I received a phone call today from the same number and he claimed his name was Mark Smith, what a hoot! I went to a Western Union and checked it out after I refused to give him my income he knew I wouldn't hand him anything else either. He was definitely from India, I worked with many employees from India and recognized his accent! He also claimed he was calling from US Government. I called just now and informed them I know it's a scam and I am turning them into the Federal Trade Commission! I also told them not to ever call my phone number again!

I received a call from this phone No. He said, he is an employee of US Government Grant Department with a name of Peter Jones with employee # 9264 and claimed that I have $5,000.00 of Grant money and they gonna send it through the nearest  Western Union but I have to disclose to them my Western Union Card no. because I need  to deposit  $300.00 for Security deposit. But, when I told him I don't have any Union  Card, he said he will just give the $5,000 .00 to another person.
Please take note of this Telephone Number. this is a SCAM and don't fall for it.

Got a call just now from these guys, new it wasnt real, but I kept asking where they received all of my info. Creepy that these random people know this. Hopefully no one falls for this stupid scam. Spread the word!

i recieved a call from these 2 guys david max and ginni something telling me i got a government grant of 5200 dollars. well of course i asked them all the information about it. then after they stumbled and repeated themselves the price went from 5200 to 5212 to 5500 and they didnt even relize. this is a huge scam i traced there number which went to washington but ended up somewhere in india. then while they were still talking i yelled at them in indian and they hung up. so please do not pay attention to the above stated number or even 206 201 2624. DO NOT EVER BE FOOLED.
