I received a call from them also. when she told me that I needed to pay 320.00 for my free grant really! What a scam. I ask for her supervisor and she said that she don't have one. Now if you work for the government like I do you have lots of supervisor!!!!!! This is a SCAM!!!! Stay away far away.

They start with the phone number 1000121233 still trying to get me again. Then tell you to call the 12068665479 something like that but they need ur d.o.b then ur age but if u keep asking questions they will hang up on u. Spread the word please

They just called me  and told me that I was selected from the gov to get $7000 then asked for my age, was then suspicious from all the info they had already. The man asked me how I wanted the money, bank or credit on a MasterCard so I said MasterCard then he said he need my info to load the card then gave me a boss number to call right away. I just thought that they were legit as long as they don't ask me to buy,sell, give anything to them, there it was,I called the second number and she said that I had to load $310 on a green moneydot card then I knew it was a scamp. What do you do when they have some info already about u and I gave them my debit work card number so what I sld have done was trust my instincts but I took all my money off my card right away then requested a new one. Hope I dodged a bullet!  Thanks to my boyfriend he also told me to Google this number and all this came up. Thanks again

These Quacks just tried with me who gives anyone 7,000 for nothing! NOBODY!Glad i got on here an read all this thank you all so much :)I was to call a Liza Ray @ 2068665749

f*** u 1000 times

I just got a call as well... we i think Kelly has changed her name to Liza Rey. Cut off twice. Their script doesn't allow for deviation. I asked how my personal address was selected, I asked if they knew I was a taxpayer awarded a grant what was my social security number... guess what hold and cut off. This guy Josh has called my number 18 time in the last 5 months. For different "programs" when I ask what department they just say fed government.  When I state they are violating federal law and state law by with holding direct name of the department named "scholarship" I get disconnected.  I'd rather buy a lot to ticket....

I just also got a call from them. Someone really needs to stop these crimmnals. I'm sure we all work hard for our money. Please help!!

Bi****s called me yesterday had me thinking I was finna be str8 she said her name was Karol and the other dude name was Alex and I'm glad I googled the number before I sent them a***oles my money but I'm still wondering how they new my personal info???? Y'all be careful who you talk to

I was scammed by this company, she said her name is Shaga, that I should send money to India, which I did. Now I lost  have lost my $340 in the name of receiving $7,000 grant. They will never have peace in life and will all die a miserable death. Idiots.

The Number 202-866-5749

I just got a call today her name was Sha Bogn and it just don't sound like some ones real name to me. So before the man that I talk to before he put me on the phone with her I asked him what do i have to pay pay before you give me this money already knowing it was something going on he said nothing its totally free . Then he gave me her number she gets on the phone talking bout the 7000.00 making it seem like that you got hand picked by the gov. but you have to go to Western Union to pick it up she gone be on the phone step by step with you and to keep your security number safe cause anybody with the number can calm your money. It all didn't just seem right with me so I asked is this a scam or what and she told me that one it's not at all your not the only one that got hand pick by the gov. it's many of you she say that you will be getting that money back. And I'm just thinking yea i"m not the only one hand pick cause multiple people got the same call with the same scam. So Then i"m thinking like you know what let me GOOGLE this number sooo I did and I see all this comments bout it .WOW I felt it was a scam and i'm young 20 years old starting school I could have been thinking like that but good thing that I looked it up before I went through with it.

Got a second call today (I hung up on him the first time knowing my govt. is more interested in taking my money, not giving me any) from a heavy Indian accent young man asking me to verify all the demographics he had about me and in addition asked my age, which I told him knowing that without my birthdate he probably couldn't get much further. Then he asked if I wanted the $$ by direct deposit to my bank acct. or my credit card or in cash. I opted for cash, again b/c I wanted to give him enough rope to reveal the scam. He then gave me the phone no. mentioned above to call a Sherry Bolton to arrange to get my money and that I must do so immediately so that the govt. could give me my money today. Instead I came to this page. I suppose there are folks who fall for this type of scam, and something needs to be done about them. My question is how did they assemble all of the info that they already have about us. What a lot of work involved to get that much for every tel. call.  

They said I received 7000.00 free grant money that does not have to be paid back.  sounds like a scam so I suppose to call them back to receive this money will update when I get more info

Guess what?  They haven't stopped!  I just recieved my call and it is Black Friday...at 4:30 pm...I didn't call "Shay" (instead of Ms. Kelly) at 206 866-5749  as per instructions....  Da!  I strung him along for a while and hung up after he gave me my ID number etc; ...I can't believe I get so many of these calls from these foreign people..  USUALLY, when I get a tele-marketer phone call,  I yell on the phone......... " I've got the job done and there is blood everywhere!!!" and I hang up.  (SUCH FUN!!!!)

Thanks a lot for this post they just tried to get me. It was a SHAY BOLTON beware

They got me good but i didn't give any account info...i chose cash

Welp its still happening they just called me and the boss is Shay Bolton now...smh creepy knowing they know all my business

Sñame thing happen to me.  I'm just greatful for this site and everyone that shared their experience with these EVIL PEOPLE!!                            

Thank you all very, very much

Glad I checked this number out before I gave any info
I thought it odd that a government employee would have such bad English

I just received the phone call not to long ago they gave the same three options.

I got the Same Call from202 621 5429
told i won some bs since i paid bills on time  i laughed and then ask my adreeses which was very hesisnet to to give so i gave em a genaral one not my exact one and told me to give them my account info told em no it sounds like a scam then told to call 206 866 5749
to talk to the boss and she gave me some bs story and wanted the same info i told them give me cash or checked they said they will do a western union i said sure tell me where and they hung up very fast

my name is chelsea pennington i was called and also advised and told this same lie also and told to call  #  1-206-866-5746 Fiona farmer the supervisor's number to call back to receive the money that was given to me by the government, as the lady who could not speak good English and had a bad connection like if she were using a on the internet line like(pinger, or text plus) my cell phone came up district of Columbia with the phone number (202-621-5429) but prior to the phone call I received yesterday I also received a phone call from a male from a marked unknown number and also had proor reception... the call was disconnected right after he said I was chosen because I didn't have bankruptcy or credit card debt exceeding 10,000 in the last `13months

I received the call, called the IRS looking for answers, all they had to say was um. Thanks for being so proactive certainly do appreciate it.

My daughter received a call from a (202) area code, the woman told her the same lies. "Call Fiona Farmer at (206) 866-5749 and collect your $7000 grant money." She was then told "You will have to pay a security deposit of $330."

My daughter was then asked for her banking routing number off of her checks. Since my daughter did not know her routing number she was told she could pay the money via Western Union. My daughter was instructed to call "Fiona Farmer" before she walked into the Western Union.

No government agency is going to call you to give you money. IF you have applied for any type of financial assistance the government always deals in the good old US mail and not untraceable cell phone calls. This is the same exact scam many, many people are getting sucked into. BE AWARE! Do not give your personal information to anyone that EVER calls YOU. Luckily my kid is one smart cookie and she knew to call her mama and ask if it was a scam!!!

I called "Fiona Farmer" and she had the audacity to get angry with me and eventually hung up the phone on me when she realized I was not going to go away with out getting some answers. "Fiona" is so stupid she thinks she can give out a phone number for her supervisor who supposedly works in the same Washington DC office but "Fiona" gave me a telephone number with an area code out of Ohio! The bogus address "Fiona" gives is for a mail drop center in Washington DC. It's not even an actual office.

My smart cookie daughter pointed out that these morons have "super caucasian american names and ridiculously thick foreign accents."

I have no doubt these morons are checking web sites like this in order to hone their skills. So this next message is for you. Good luck fake Fiona Farmer, Karma is real and she is comin after you and all your other slimy criminal low lifes!! You made several very glaring mistakes in this phone scheme of yours. We now know exactly who you are and where you are. Good luck hiding now!Caller: US Government Federal Grants & Liars 206-866-5749
