Got a call from them telling me to put $300 on a card and they would give me $8000.  Scam!

Thanks I went to the web site you gave and it was a scam.  God Bless You for helping others

I just reported this one

This is a scam I just called and reported my call.  If anyone calls you and tells you to buy a green dot money pak and you will receive money after doing so it is a scam.  Go to www.ftc.gov on the right hand side is a blue box SCAM ALERTS you will find all the scams.

I got a phone call because the accounting and funding dept choose me randomly looool and because I pay my taxes on time like any other American

Yes, it's a scam.  You never have to pay to get a grant.  Of course, you can't get a grant anyway, unless you've actually applied - and there is no application fee for a grant either.  More on this type of scam here:

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

Got a call from a heavily accented Indian man claiming to be at 200 SW Independence in DC.  He said my disabled daughter had qualified for an $8000 grant.  Grants are not required to be repaid.  Can't see the US Government just giving away to US citizens,  only foreign countries for foreign aid.  Needless to say I wont be calling the 206-905-9357 number he gave.  He even gave us  confirmation number and a security code.  Said his name was Kevin and he was at ext 101.  Kept having him to repeat things as his Indian accent was real heavy.

Too funny, so I received a call that I would be getting $8,000 from the Federal Reserve Bank of NY who will call me back from this number 206-905-9357 Steven Hagar x 8821. 200 Independence Ave. SW Washington DC 20201 is what they say is their address. Do they really think anyone will fall for this. They are definitely in another country as there was a long pause after any of my answers until they responded. Please do not take their calls as they come up as Unavailable 6-3660 on the caller ID. I really hope others that get their calls do not fall for this scam.

I loved talking with this man.  IT is the second time that he has called me and he sounds just like Borat.  I gave him my best chuck Bronson voice and he just kept talking.  Of course it is a scam, why would you ever think it is real? If anyone thought this was real in any way then they should send all of their hard earned cash, not just $200.

It's a scam - you NEVER have to pay to get grant money!  You also have to APPLY to win a grant.  More info here:

I recieved a call from this munber206-905-9357 saying that i have been selected to recive a goverment grant for $8000.00 dollars. they want me to buy a green dot money pack and load it with $200.00 and call them to give them the card munber and they will put the 8000.00 thousandon the card.
,,,...

I reported this company to the us grant department. It sounded too good to be true.

they just called me today is it a scam

don not trust this call number and I wish that they would stop calling

this peo

Stated that she is Linda White from Washington Offering Grant money

It is a scam. They immediately stole the 200 dollars and can not be found now. Feeling foolish and nieve. Please no one else fall for this scam.

Ya know the one thing I will never understand is how anyone over the age of 15 would not see that this is a scam these people are running. Why would you bother to go and get a prepaid card or go to Western Union and wire money to someone? Jesus! Has America become that STUPID? That's why these scammers in Nigeria and other God-forsaken countries get away with this crap! WHEN was the last time you heard that the USA GIVES money away? I mean, REALLY? People trying to scam others really spikes my blood pressure but knowing there are enough idiots out there willing to fall for this out of sheer stupidity or unmitigated greed, really makes me sad...get off your damn painkillers, your beer or whiskey, stop watching Maury and ANY reality TV shows, watch CNN, then you would already know about this stuff, get out and exercise, eat right, stay away from fast food which is poison (and please don't give me that bs that you can't afford good food, buy a head of lettuce, some tuna fish in cans, tomatoes, cucumbers and eat that. Everything your body needs comes from the ground) you will feel much better, your brain will function properly so that when these evil pigs call you you'll know how to deal with them.

I recieved a call today claiming i won a grant for 8000 dollars! What a crock of crap!!!!!!! I can believe they can do this.

Just recieved call from foriegn person stating I won $8000 and need to pay taxes.  This must be one of Dick
Cheneys Currupt companies.  Who else can con the US fed reserve to send 12 billion cash over seas to pay for
security in Iraq!  

I just got a call from someone saying id get a grant of $8000. And I was supposed to call 206-905-9357 and claim it. Theres no answer. I think they're banking the money.

He called me crazy and you f******* crazy lady. I hung up on him. Must be a scam. He asked why we didn't call the day we got the call. told him we were very busy. Said we weren't eligible for money now since we didn't call right away. So I asked him to not call us anymore then he said we would regret for rest our lives not getting this grant. Oh well. guess have to give to someone else. that is when he got crazy and started swearing on the phone. If sounds to good to be true must be.  I don't know  how these people sleep at night with all these scam calls to people and some people believe it and loose all their money they have worked so hard for.

THIS IS A SCAM!!!!  And when I told the man on the phone I knew it was a scam he called me a fu##ing bi##h. They said I was hand picked for a grant of 8000 and all I needed to do was pick up a green money pack card from walgreens and put 200 dollars on it. LOL they must think im a dumb Fuc#ing bit##
