I just got a call from 206-973-7966 I asked for his name and he said that his name was Mark Fisher from the Finance and administrative services from Seattle Washington saying that I was supposedly receiving a government grant for $10,047 and he wanted me to come up with $845 more which I have put $2,538 total and I told this Mark Fisher gentleman he was nothing but scam artist and when I money refunded back to me he told me no that I needed to fork out more money that I do not have

Got a call from a blocked number ( not unusual I have a lot of angry exs) so I answered then it was some Hindu guy saying he was with the government and I had been awarded a 7000 dollar grant that I did not have to pay taxes on. As soon as I heard the accent and him saying he was from the government and I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TAXES on the 7grand i knew it was bs. but i played along anyways until they told me i would have to send them $285. F*** it if your gunna get calls like this at least f*** with em a bit. It was so hilarious they thought they were going to get 300 bucks outta me lmao... f****ng foreigners

Seems these people are from bainbridge wa using VOIP tell to call the provider i think and see what else we can find here. Tracking isnt too hard. Lets have some fun 206-855-3234

The number called me and i knew it was a scam bc the call i got was from a blocked number first red flag. Then the girl couldn't stand my questions flag number two. Then calling the phone number at a later time and getting a cell phone voicemail. The dead giveaway. Just one of these flags is enough to know not to give any type of information away. Dont give these people anything please. Im reported this to a few local authorities and fraud pages and lets see if we cant put these scumbags away for good i give them false information and when they try to use it. They will be caught. Did anyone lose money to these people dont be shy to tell what happened. This kind of information is really good

My boyfriend received the same call he got it when I was in school, he called me on the way home and said he had got the same call but they needed 275 and he would get 7,000 and it was from the u s government, I told him if you have to pay anything there was something fishy and besides when does the government give free money like that. Anyways to make it worse I told him let me look on line to see if there were anything about it, to find out I find this so I show him bad news he had already gave them his bank card, do not give them anything and remember if its to good to be true it probably is

206-855-3234 called they asked for my info the first day (3/28/13)I was busy working so I disconnected the call they called back again the next day (3/29/13) I had ignored it they called back for the third day and the first number came though as 000-000-0000 I thought it was a glitch with my smart phone 20 min later they call again from 206-855-3234 I picked up they claimed to send me 7 grand in a grantthat I would never have to repay. You would think with all the technology out now they would be better at stopping low lifes like this to screw people out of their cash when cash is getting harder and harder to come by yet for them to be claiming they are part of our government when they can't speak a lick of English. When if ever will they actually look into these numbers of these people that are getting account numbers and cash from us when they are hacking into systems somewhere that is allowing these intrudersto pull our info when they can tell you your address and city were you live with out you giving it to them its scary no one wants to have more BS to worry about then what's already goin wrong in the world today. But we have cops that will put you in jail over things as small as a tiny bb gun in Ur own yard but nothing seams to happen with these crooks that can scam you out of your hard earned money. While they sit at a pc and steel your name number and info and yet nothing seams to be done to stop it.

I received a call from 757-865-6696. The caller said they were calling from the U.S. Govt Federal Grant Dept. they said that I was selected to receive a grant n the Mout of $7,000 to do what I wanted with. I asked him again to confirm who he was calling from; he said the U.S. Govt Health & Human Services. He said I could receive the money via direct deposit to a bank account, a credit card with no balance or via Western Union. I said Western Union. He then gave me a grant confirmation no. and a phone no. (206-855-3234) for me to call back to speak with his super isor and give the grant confirmation no. to. Receive the money. I knew it was a scam when he said what he was calling for. The Govt does not call you out of the blue and offer grant money without you applying. I was waiting for him to ask for my personal information so I could call him on it. I did not call the no. he gave me to call.

they called me and told me about the grant money $7.000 they already knew my name cell number and address! i told the guy that i wasn't given him my d.o.b or SS# or checking,debit or credit card info..he said that's fine i don't need that information and to call that same number..206-855-3234..and Verizon said that number wasn't working and also he did mention western union but not the $280.00 i had to give them..whats the purpose of this scam to see if people give out personal info or get the $280..00 when people go to collect the $7.000 dollars! wow that's sad..

I kept receiving a call from 888-888-8888,  I finally answered on March 15th.  (if you don't answer, you can't tell them to never call again).  So I humored the person, a man with an Indian accent named James Miller....yeah...OK... listened to his schpeal, he told me the story about a government grant for people who pay their bills on time...blah blah blah..an I would get $7K.  hi gives me a call back number for his..... "manager"....along with a verification code.  I was in the car with my wife as we listened on speaker phone (holding back of course).  Today, a week later, I decide to put this to bed.  It hasn't cost me anything yet so I called the number and listened until the woman told me to deposit $290 into a Western Union account.    I STOPPPED HER, SAID THIS IS A SCAM DON'T CALL ME AGAIN!

I received a call from number 888 888 8888 to inform me that i am eligible to receive a grant in the amount of 7000 and that it was from the Federal Reserve Bank in New York.
She then told me to call 206 855 3234 and when I did i spoke to Larry
he told me to send $270 via Western Union and call back with the transaction number
Larry call me back within half an hour and my husband told him that we were confirming it with the local police department he hang up immediately. Its a HUGE SCAM..

I got a call today from an 8888888888 number telling me his name was Vincent with the federal govt giving me a grant for 7000. He then told me I had to call the 2068553234 number. I told him I wasn't comfortable giving him the three digits code on the back of my debit card. He said again that he was govt and said the call was being recorded. I denied him again. He then pulled the whole western union thing. I said no thanks but he already had my debit card number/exp. date. He didn't sound educated enough to be in the federal govt and had a very strong Indian accent. I looked up this number and immediately called my bank to request a new card because he had way too much of my information. He could have easily gotten the info from my computer because I pay all my bills online and have been applying for jobs online. Please look out for stuff like this.

I experienced the exact same thing as Jeannine mentioned above only except they asked me for $280. I knew it was a scam from the beginning when I received the initial call but I was trying to get all the details of the scam so that I could report them. When does the government willingly ever just decide to drop $7000 in your lap. Come on now people don't be that nieve and hard up for money to fall for this scam. This has been my first time ever experiencing someone trying to scam me but I haven't spent the last 6 years of my life in college to become a certified dummy. 9 times out of 10 if someone ever mentions western union it's a scam. They mentioned to me that the money is coming from the federal reserve bank of new york. I am going to contact the banks fraud department and maybe they can investigate it further to get the creeps behind the scam.

I jot the same call, the US government was going to give me FREE, TAX FREE MONEY, hahaha, yah, thats just like the government, ok, scam. Yes, and call this number 206-855-3234 tell them your grant confermation number, take a little drive down to Western Union pay the $260 fee, thats non-negotable and manditory and wait for our call to provide you with the tracking identification number.
If you have gotten this call DO NOT DO WHAT THEY SAY THIS IS A SCAM, IF YOU GIVE THEM MONEY THE POLICE CANNOT GET THAT MONEY BACK, THIS IS NOT "THEFT" SO YOU CAN NOT JET JUSTICE IF YOU GIVE THEM THE "FEE" CHARGE.
