tried to get me excatly the same way

they just called me yesterday to i knew it was to good to be true tho

I got a call saying they were going to send me 50,000 and ask for my bank number i thank this is a scam

I got a call on Friday and was told that I would recieve $50,000.00 on Monday in my bank account. I'm glad that I told my mother about it and she called the BBB here in Texas and they told her it was a scam. She called me Monday afternoon and I tried to call the # back and no one answered by I got a voice mail where the person didnt even speak english. I called back a few min. later and then left a message for Steve ,( most likley not his real name) and asked him to call me back. In the mean time I called my bank and asked them why the money couldnt be depostited and they said that it was a fraud. Then I called Western Union and asked if there was any money or a check for me  and I explained what was going on and the lady told me it was a scam and not to fall for it. The next day Steven called me back and I told him that I would not been sending him any money and that I knew that this was a scam. He then got very defensive. I had left a message that if he took any money out of my account I would hunt him down and find him and shoot him in the face. He told me it was a felany to threaten a Government employee and I told him it was a felony to impersonate one. He then hung up on me. I was always told that if it sounds too good to be true, It is. I wish I had thought about that when I gave them all my information. I have since closed my old account and opened a new one and they have not gotten any money thus for. I hope that remains to be true.

and by the way my first call tht came in fri came in from 646-403-3109 then the guy called me frm the 646-403-3115.gd luck to all

i had a woman call me friday an then a man called me today saying they couldnt add it to my prepaid card cuz the cap is 10,000. now want me to go to a western union to pay 300 bucks to get 40300 dollars frm there after he calls the bank to have it releases. but i aint paying it. the guy today even did a three way call to western union so i could hear tht the money was on hold and waiting for me. an had the bank call me to tell me they would deposit the rest on my card. they have someone call an say there frm bank of america the num for tht was 18004321000. the bank num is real i called another branch to make sure. because the guy tht called me today said tht the bank of america in new albany ny handles all the goverment grant money. its a lie. the guy frm gov grant department called his self steven foster and the address he gave me is 123 williams st ny ny 10038. hope the other 72 ppl he said they were processing grant money for didnt send him no 300 bucks to his international charity. and if it was real guess imma miss out.

I recieved a call today from the same # about a $50,000 grant and I also set up my credit card to recieve the deposit tomorrow.  I was wondering could this be tied to a real estate workshop my husband and I attended a few weeks ago with Dean Graziosi, which others seem to think was a scam.

I got a call today and was so called approved for a $50,000 grant as well. I just wanted to ask u guys if you attended a Dean Graziosi siminar lately because it could be one huge scam

I got the same phone call " Your approved for a $50,000 Grant gave info but called the bank & told them to be on the lookout for the transaction & a supervisor is going to call me tomorrow so we will see what happens!! My bank told me they can report it as fraud if they try & take money but there's nothing in the account so they won't get nothing but tracked down & prosecuted if it is fraud!!

I got this call . For Gov grant , 50,000 was what they approved me for supposedly but I read you're messages and made sure to do a complaint on that number to make sure if anything goes down I have that reported thanks and I hope things don't end up the same for me I am sorry about what happed to you R.J. the card I offered is just a prepaid card and has nothing on it so.... what do you think about that , I guess this company is supposed to have a supervisor call me tomorrow ???? IDK what to do besides what I have already done n thanks for the info.

thanx for the info. I wish i would have found this out sooner, because now i am out of 300 dollars and that was my last money, and i really needed this grant for an attorney and to get my family out of debt  but i guess thats not gonna happen. I curse the people that did this to me!!!

THIS IS A SCAM. There is no such Gov agency as the "Government grant department." This is a version of the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a grant, grant paperwork, business plan, loan, scammed-money refund, lottery winnings, interest rate reduction, tax reduction, gift card, refund, doggie, cruise, vacation, free gas, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, registration, insurance, secure handling, processing, etc. They may send you a fake check, may want your credit/debit card or bank account number, or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. They can put recurrent difficult-to-cancel monthly charges or a 1-time charge on your card or bank account, and sell account info to other criminals and you'll have to replace accounts altogether. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone. If they want you to call them up for instructions, they may tell you not to discuss the wire with Western Union desk clerks but the real reason is WU clerks are familiar with these scams and will warn you not to wire the money. If you give them the WU Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) for the wire, they can pick up the money from anywhere in the world. Report to US Postal Service Inspectors https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG http://www.naag.org/current-attorneys-general.php as appropriate.

what did they call you for? Was it a for a grant?

i think the person that called me from this number is running a scam on government grants!!! i believe they just scammed me for 300 dollars.
