So I am just wondering if anyone except me got a check? I couldn't believe it and had actually forgotten about it but 3 days after I got the call......I only got one call that advised me to lie to a school that I was interested in.......I checked my mailbox and there it was. The caller never asked me for my banking information or anything other than my address and then bam........there it was in my hot little hand.....a check for $15,000. I waited a week for the check to clear my bank and then another three weeks before I spent the money but let me tell you.....they may be liars and the sort but that cash spends just like any other cash I pulled out of my wallet. I bout a new flat screen color tv.....a 70 incher that my wife hates....hahaha......but like I tell her.....it didn't cost us a dime and neither did the $5,000 diamond ring she got out of the deal. Then I laugh and she usually shuts the hell up. Sometimes it may sound too good to be true but in my case it wasn't. This is Jeff Fox......signing out.

I also got a phone call from 1-206-456-1047 that said I won a grant but when I was transfered to another line I was instructed several times to not mention the grant. I was told they didn't know anything about it. So this is Jeff Fox checking in and saying I too got a call from this number.

called me and indian accent - I reported them to BBB -   said that I won a grant

Stop calling me !!!!!!

The called me 6 times, I answered, told them no thank you. They called me back and cussed me out and hung up on me. Talk about professional.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand!!!!!!!! It is those damn Iran ppl doing this!!!!!!!!! How do they get our numbers!!!! I feel like they are going to bomb us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am getting constant calls from this number and when I answer no one speaks.

Stop calling me!

Stop calling and harassing with calls every hour!

The same guy with the thick accent has called my house 4 times now looking for the owner of the house. His sales pitch was to offer help paying off mortgage loans... After explaining to him that the owner works during certain hours and to stop calling, he hung up just to call back again and again. The last phone call yet, I answered by asking to talk to his manager. He proceeded to ask if I wanted to &*#$ his manager!! He then told me if I were to give him a little kiss over the phone he would leave me alone and stop calling! I told him this is America and he can go ahead and *&#% OFF! This number is a total scam and the government should block their organization entirely. I am afraid for my own safety at this point. He was completely out of line by sexually harassing me. Hope they don't have my address!! Terrorist! Uncle Sam, where are you?

i get calls atleast 5 times daily the same thing thick arabic accent cant hardly understand what they are saying and the spout off is this phone number blah blah blah its not even the right phone number or name when i tell them this they want my name no frieking way am i giving you any information its all a scam and they were very ver ypersistant. its rediculous. MY motto is and please dont take offense If you cant speak english or pronounce my name correctly you will not get the time of day from me atleast speak correctly im so frieking annoyed and if they are calling your cell you can block the number.

This number is scam.Don't pick up  the phone or block this number.

Total scam call from this number. Do not give them any info. Multiple calls which I ignored as I do not usually answer numbers I do not recognise but finally gave in and answered and what do you know, I have qualified for a government grant. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!! Sorry but I was not born yesterday.

They are probably faking the ID number so do not believe it.

?Free Government Grants?: Don?t Take Them For Grant-ed
?Because you pay your income taxes on time, you have been awarded a free $12,500 government grant! To get your grant, simply give us your checking account information, and we will direct-deposit the grant into your bank account!?
Sometimes, it?s an ad that claims you will qualify to receive a ?free grant? to pay for education costs, home repairs, home business expenses, or unpaid bills. Other times, it?s a phone call supposedly from a ?government? agency or some other organization with an official sounding name. In either case, the claim is the same: your application for a grant is guaranteed to be accepted, and you?ll never have to pay the money back.

    Don?t give out your bank account information to anyone you don?t know. Scammers pressure people to divulge their bank account information so that they can steal the money in the account. Always keep your bank account information confidential. Don?t share it unless you are familiar with the company and know why the information is necessary.

    Don?t pay any money for a ?free? government grant. If you have to pay money to claim a ?free? government grant, it isn?t really free. A real government agency won?t ask you to pay a processing fee for a grant that you have already been awarded ? or to pay for a list of grant-making institutions. The names of agencies and foundations that award grants are available for free at any public library or on the Internet. The only official access point for all federal grant-making agencies is www.grants.gov.

    Look-alikes aren?t the real thing. Just because the caller says he?s from the ?Federal Grants Administration? doesn?t mean that he is. There is no such government agency. Take a moment to check the blue pages in your telephone directory to bear out your hunch ? or not.

    Phone numbers can deceive. Some con artists use Internet technology to disguise their area code in caller ID systems. Although it may look like they?re calling from Washington, DC, they could be calling from anywhere in the world.

someone who said they are calling from nigeria with a thick indian accent said I was chosen to receive free money for education - even if I was not going to use it for education.

Horrible MFer.
Horrible Indian accent keeps rambling about some BS government grant and ask personal information.
Believe you me; I am from that part of the world and you can't understand wtf they are saying!

Annoying SOB!

I HAVE RECEIVED CALLS FROM 209 220 2319, 206 445 6108, AND ALSO 9 DIGIT NUMBERS..918 111 423, 918 102 220 I HAVE NOT ANSWERED AND OF THE CALLS BUT IT IS AGGRAVATING. DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW I CAN PUT MY NUMBER ON THE "DO NOT CALL LIST."

I put my self in a big hole... Noo one answer them... They can get ou by keep asking and u answering them by that u lose a lot ... Why I mean ur Cc... Ur Ss  and ur lose ur name while saying who's this.... ?!?!?

why is this number keep calling me it has called me 23 times today when i call back it is always busy

This number has been calling me all day telling me I can recieve a us government grant.  They tell me I need to qualify with four questions they ask.  These questions are general but when i answered them they tell me to lie about my enrollment in college, and say that "Im thinking about going to a university".  They all have indian or chinese accents, which leads me to believe that this is a scam.  The government would not outsource especially on educational issues or proposals.

They call mee too and I didn't answer the 1st 15 times. And fainally  I answered  what scared me more that they know my name... And than they said I received mony grams from u.s government ... And if i dont go take it in 30 days I lose it.. DONT BE LIVE ANY # NOT ON UR PHONE LIST...

These guys called me 4 times already today, the first time I answered I told them I wasn't interested and ignored the rest of their calls, then on the 4th call I finally picked up and told them I wasn't interested & they needed to take my number off their list & the guy with an Indian accent actually yelled at me & I hung up on him!!!!

Harassing phone calls.

True, theres always an indian girl or guy accent on the phone and when I do pick up ii scream at them.and then they hung up...report!!!!!this is an issue!
