Tonya, my name is Susan. I live in new jersey and just received the same phone call. Have you heard anymore on this. I didn't give out any info bc we were disconnected. Maybe that was best huh! Let me know what your doing about this and I fight with you if this is indeed a scam.

SHE SAID THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE GIVING THE $7,000.00 TO THE RIGHT PERSON SO THEY WANT ME TO DEPOSIT $225 AND THEN THEY WILL SEND A WESTERN UNION FOR $7,225.00... IM GLAD I CHECK THIS PG.. THEY ALMOST GOT MY SLOW A$$!! LOL! THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS!!

I got the same phone call today. Sara told me to call the 360-637-6806 number and they would give me the information to get the $7000.00. All they have is my address and DOB so I dont think they can do much with that. I think I will call the 360 number and tell them to take the $210.00 out of the 7000.00 and send me the rest. LOL Do you think that will work? NOT!!!!!!

Hey Jane,

Its 11:18 a.m. in Mohave Valley, Arizona and I wanted to reply to your posting by asking did they take any money out of your account?? Or placed anything in it, or has any financial problems happen?? Such as other statements saying you bought something online or your money just disappeared?? I am really concern because i recieved a call this morning stating the same things and for this man name "Roger" I don't know how he got ahold of my information and what he will do with it. I am just concern please answer my questions i would greatly appreciate it!! Just to let you know what i did once i got off the phone with "Roger" i reported the call to my bank Chase and they made me feel safe about my money and took care of my worries by letting me know the so called "Roger" wont be able to tap into my bank account and withdrawl my money or use the information for purchased items. The 360-637-6806 number even called my number and i did not answer the phone call.

adam did you get your 7,000 dollars?

Today  i.e.  June   20,11 at  12.35pm , I received   a call  that  u get grant from  Human  Health -   Washington for  $7000  which i don't  have to pay  back and  Mr. Rogers had my  all information           about  me and told  me to contact  another no.360-637-6806 M s.Wendy who is going   to  tr ansfer   money  in  western  u ion where  i    have to sign   document and deposit  $210 as security  and than  she w ill  give me the c onfirmation no.  and tra nsfer  money.  Mr.R ogers  ask   for m y bank account also but i  have not given him my  details  but has  my  address  and my birth  date.  He also  told    me  that  this  money   is for me being a candidate  with no  criminal records and can  only  spend that money on medical and education.  But  as  i  was  trying  to find out from google about this  no.   and also speaking with Wendy there  was   more noise interrupting in  between.   After  that  she              needs my               driv ing licence  an d  security no to be   given  to  western unoin.  I  felt  why  they      need all stuff , they can give me Cheque instead of cash  when they  want to help.I  also  thought    it was  fraud  and disconnect the   phone.

Don't you people see a pattern here. Roger Brown, Roger Parker, Sarah Ross? Might as well add Bill Jones, Frank Johnson and Bob Smith. Virtually untraceable names, Atlanta has 56 Roger Browns, Los Angeles has 47. It is a Scam. Hang up!!!!!! Or do like I do and waste their time. Act excited, say you have to go get your card, Give them a fake number and name. Have some fun with it. They will hang up and most likely drop your number from their call list. Because they know you are on to them. Or do like my buddy does and say," Hang on, I really want to do this, let me go get my card for you". Then he lays down the phone and then gets in his car and goes somewhere.

Adam has no money to pay his internet bill so we won't be seeing him anytime soon. Scams, Unfortunitly people don't follow their gut and just hang up.

I just got a call from them as well...I ask the Indian lady for her name (Sarah Ross) in which she gave it to me, I told her that I did not feel comfortable given her my information and asked her was this some kind of scam or something, she replied NO, She gave me the name of the company as United States Government Grant Department she works in the verification department, I told her I bel this is a scam and she tried to assure me that it was not.  I told her if it is and that I work for a law firm and that I will have an attorney locate her, she said miss this is not a scam, so I told her that I would call the 360 number and speak to them..of course I call the number and no one answered the phone....the number came up on my phone as UNKNOWN.  Yes this is a SCAM all day long....

I received the same phone call! talked to a Roger Parker, but I told him I didnot have a credit card or bank acct!! this is a scam trust me!!

Got a call. I didn't answer

Got a call. I didn't answer

Got a call. I didn't answer

I got the same call and I don't know what to do about it. What can I do about it? They asked me for my card number and my account number as well, a gentleman by the name of Roger called me he told me that the government chose my name telling me that I won a free grant for seven thousand dollars. and he asked me if I wanted it in cash or put into my account.So he talked to my husband whom takes  care of my financials for me because he's my representative and he takes care of the money for me. Soo after my husband gave him my card number, my birth date and my account number he said that the money would be put into my account within minutes after the call. And also Roger gave my husband a number to call back to confirm that I won a free grant for seven thousand dollars. So when my husband called back a woman came on the phone wanted to talk to me so I talked to her and so she was rude and nasty to  me on the phone she said why are you wasting my time and hers by calling her, and i told her that we were told to call that number just to confirm whether or not I really got the free grant as Roger had told me that I got, this lady made me so angry she hung up on me and  my husband and I are still calling back the same number but we keep getting a busy signal and can't get through. I am really angry about this when i Google this number and found out that it's a scam and they have information on me and my account number oh god I am pissed about this. So now my husband and I don't know what to do about this, but I know one thing I want to find out who these people are and arrested for scamming.

This is a SCAM... "ROGER" called and wanted me to call this number got as far as him asking for my DOB.. about 10 mins of his time an than told him that I was not intrested in the grant... he told me to F*&k off ...and that I was waisting his time,..and hung up...after about 5 mins he called back and said he had my address and he was going to come to my house and kill me...lol I told he I hope he wears a bullet proof vest after all this is Texas..

this is not in direct regards to the 360 number listed above but to the 9-digit number that originalted the 360 number. if you google the 9-digit number, you will see a website called "whocallsme" the allegations on that site towards this number are scary. women have been threatend and stalked by these people. this is a scam, report this number in excess if you recieve all call from them.. f-these people!

did you get the money

so adam what happend

We won't need your report. You've just lost $210 to criminals who won you over with cheap flattery. Probably they are outside the US, so you can't even sue to recover your error.

IT ... IS ... A ... SCAM ... when a total stranger offers a wad of dough, or some valuable item, under any pretense you like, and wants you to wire transfer a "nominal" payment (and/or pushes hard for electronic access to a funding source) to make it happen. They'll call it a "processing fee", a "handling surcharge", a "deposit" as in your case, or something like that. Oh, and you talked to reps with Southeast Asian accents? Gee, what a non-shocker. There IS no "Robert Brown" or any other human behind such a lame alias.

See also: Nigerian/"419" scams, funds transfer scams, credit reprice scams, "Heather" and "Rachel", and a few other variants I can't think of now.

Hi everyone!  How are you doing?  I hope fine.  I hope this can be of help to you.  I was directed to call a (360) 637-6806 number as well on Monday, May 16th at 6:18 pm.  Preceding that call, was a call from one Robert Brown generated from this number: 911-234789856, directing me to call the above mentioned number after he gave me an ID code.  Mr Brown's call duration was 6 min, 6 secs in which he informed me that $7,000.00 in my name in the form of a grant was awarded and awaiting pickup.  Excited and curious, first I called back the 911-234789856 after which I found to be untraceable or non-operational.  Still curious, I followed Robert's instructions and called the (360) 637-6806 number.  Upon doing so, an indian-accented woman by the name of Windy (I had the presence of mind to ask her name) answered asking me for my ID code.  I provided the ID code and was told to call back within 10 mins. as she needed to retrieve my file.  I did.  During the next connection, I had the presence of mind to ask her all the questions I had in curiousity.  She informed me that she was of the US Federal Government Grant Department, and that I was selected along with thousands of others for this grant for having an impeccable tax and criminal record over a period of time.  This selection takes place very seldom and involves very few.  She then asked me how I would like to receive my money, by mail or cash pickup.  I of course, chose the cash pickup option.  She then told me that I would have to go to a Western Union in order to do so and asked if I knew of one nearby.  If I did not, she was willing to help me locate one.  I told her yes.  She then told me that a $210.00 security deposit was required.  I asked for what?  Being that I could hardly make out what she was saying due to her heavily accented voice, I just said to myself 'What the heck, $210 for $7,000?  Why not!?'  The only problem then was that I didn't have the money on hand to do it, so I made arrangements to do so when I could.  We arranged for today, Friday, May 20th to commence with the transaction.  I have the $210 and am ready to do it, so in following what she instructed to call her back, I did.  I did at 10:10 am, but got a voicemail prompt.  Probably the time zone difference is what accounts for that as I am in NJ.  Anyway, I am going to go through with everything and report back to you all.

did u go through with this? because i got the same phone call and they told me i was eligeble for a gov grant for 7000 dollars to use toward paying bills as long as i sent them 200$ so they could send me the 7000$ from a western union.

I also received a call from this number (360-637-6806) from a lady with the same Indian accent stating that I qualified for a state education grant. The first call that I received I was given a Grant Identification #. I just am wondering if there are ways that these people can take a financial grant out in my name and somehow retrieve the money for them selves. I dont believe that these people would take the time and/or the effort to do this and not somehow benefit from it. My question is what are they getting out of it and what part do we play, what role did my name (identity) play in this. Moreover what happens next? Answers would be highly appreciated.
