Scam alert from Triton Global (billing company) that bills Telco's third party number long distance on calls.
to Shaw and Rogers Telecommunications.

I got a call from this number too.  No voicemail left, though...

I am also curious who the number belongs to.

who is this number?

I just got the same call. Her name was STACY ROSS she wanted me to transfer the money western union and then I would get the 7000 45 min after. I thought somthing was wrong and I say all these other messages from the same number and same amount. I told her this was a scam and she said no scam would send u to western union.

i revieved the same kind of call. i was told to call back and talk to Stacy Ross (thick indian accent) they would give me $7000. of grant money if i donated $99. to IMOD american charities.......uhh...no. i dont think so. SCAM EVERYONE!!!!!! WITH A NAME LIKE STACY ROSS, IT SHOULD BE A SOUTHERN ACCENT!

Oh i forgot to mention, that he said i was picked last year for the prize and then again this year. He said 1500 people win this prize and lucky lucky me i won it twice in a row!!

Got the same call from a woman with an Asian accent named Susan from a private number claiming to be from the "government grant department", went through the whole thing with her and i didn't give her any information she didn't already have. She then instructed me to call mr. Ricky Johnson who wanted my credit card info, i told him to send me a check and he protested but told me it would take several weeks to authorize the funds. they also told me that i was picked at random for having an excellent tax record, which tripped my b***s*** meter because last year i was late paying my taxes (long story) i heard nothing from them for over two months and there was no suspicious activity on any front i could monitor IE: bank account, credit etc. So i called back Ricky Johnson one day out of boredom and he told me that i had to relay all the information again so that he knew it was me. I told him i smelt b***s*** and he got all flustered and studdery. I told him i'd be passing his phone number and name along to the authorities and he launched into a quick speech about how i didn't need to do that. I'm currently contacting the FBI. hopefully that can deal with this pathetic and obviously pathological idiot.

THIS IS A SCAM. This is the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a grant, lottery winnings, fabulous vacation, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, etc. They'll want your card info or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone. Report to the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG.

PLEASE I REPEAT PLEASE PEOPLE DONT FALL FOR THIS S***.. I UNFORTUNATELY DID SO THEREFORE I AM OUT OF A $100.00 DOLLARS.. BUT AS FAR AS GIVING THEM THE 378.00 DOLLARS THAT THEY ASKED FOR  TO WIRE THE MONEY TO MY ACCOUNT I DIDNT HAVE AT THE TIME SO THATS THE ONLY REASON WHY I DIDNT.. WHICH I AM NOW HAPPY ABOUT.. BECAUSE IF I HAD IT THEN I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE SENT IT.. AFTER EXPLAINING TO THEM THAT I DIDNT HAVE THE MONEY THE GENTLEMEN BY THE NAME OF MARK JONES BEGIN TO BE VERY UNCONCERNED AT THE MOMENT AND VERY RUDE STATING THAT HE WOULD CANCEL MY ACCOUNT IF I COULDNT SEND IT BY A SPECIFIC TIME.. WHEN BEGINNING TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHERE THEY WERE LOCATED AT AND ADDRESSES I THEN FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS ALL A SCAM.. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY REFUSED TO  LET ME SPEAK WITH ANYONE ELSE OTHER THAN THEMSELVES.. IF ANYONE HAS LET THESE PEOPLE GET OVER ON YOU PLEASE REPORT THEM SO THAT THEY CAN GET CAUGHT SO THEREFORE THEY WONT BE ABLE TO DO ANYONE ELSE LIKE THIS.. YOU CAN CALL THE FTC (FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION) AT 1877.382.4357 AND FILE A COMPLAINT.. THEN YOU CAN CALL YOUR LOCAL SECRET SERVICES IN YOUR STATE AND FILE A COMPLAINT ALSO.. THE REASON FOR CALLING THEM IS BECAUSE THEY ARE ABLE TO HANDLE ALL CASES THAT INVOLVES FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES..ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT INVOLVE OTHER COUNTRIES.. THIS SITUATION HERE IS REALLY F****D UP (PLEASE EXCUSE MY FRENCH) BUT EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.. SO PLEASE DONT LOOK AT THIS AS A PUNISHMENT OR ANYTHING.. WELL IN SOME OF YOUR CASES IT PROBABLY IS.. BUT I KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT WASNT FOR ME.. I HAVENT YET FOUND OUT WHY BUT IT COULD JUST SIMPLY BE THAT WHOM EVER I DONATED THE MONEY TO REALLY NEEDED IT.. GOD WILL NOT PUT ANYTHING IN OUR PATHS THAT HE FEELS WE CANT HANDLE.. AND I SIMPLY DIDNT MIND SENDING THE MONEY TO A CHARITY OF THOSE WHO ARE LESS FORTUNATE THAN I AM.. AND GOD KNOWS THAT I WOULD HAVE DONE IT EVEN IF I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOT THE GRANT MONEY.. IT WOULD HAVE PROBABLY BEEN AFTER CHRISTMAS SEEING THAT I DONATED MONEY THAT I REALLY DIDNT HAVE.. BUT MY BLESSINGS WILL COME BACK AROUND TO ME TIMES TEN.. JUST FOR HAVING A HEART.. WHEN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS HAPPEN JUST TRY TO FIND THE GOOD OUT OF IT NO MATTER HOW F****D UP IT MIGHT SEEM AT THAT TIME.. AND PRAY ABOUT IT.. GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS.. AND TO THOSE WHO ARE USING PEOPLE WILL PAY FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING.. JUST PUT IT ALL IN HIS HANDS.. UNTIL THEN IM SORRY THAT THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ALOT OF US.. AND ALL I CAN SAY IS BE CAREFUL AND ASK QUESTIONS NEXT TIME BEFORE JUMPING INTO A SITUATION HEAD FIRST.. BELEIVE ME I AM TAKING MY OWN ADVISE AS WELL..

I just got a call from these people, 12/13/10. I was suspicious but I listened to what the guy, who had a really bad accent,  had to say. When it came down to giving my debit/credit information, my guard went up. I told him to mail it, he got my address. Then he had me call this # 202-657-6780, no one answered. What a crock!!!

Just got the same call, Saturday 12/04/2010, Said I have been picked for a $7000 grant from the governent that I do not have to pay back. They wanted a bank account number or credit card number to transfer the money too. I told them I wanted a check. They gave me this number to call back on Monday 202-657-6780. I tried to call that number right after hanging up and it just rang, no answer. I may call back Monday and see what they have to say. I know its a scam, but just courious. I might also get a local news station to check this out too so they can warn their viewers of this scam also. Do they really think people are that stupid?

My husband recieved a call from them also they called his mother stating they were looking for him to give him good news about the grant for $7000.00. We did not even know they had called her until yesterday 11-18-10, Ricky Johnson got real angry with my husband when he told them he was calling the FBI on him. He said this does not have anything to do with the grant and why did he call them he said he was tired of them calling scamming people out of money, I told him that we were not interested he said your husband don't understand this is for him he had been pulled ramdley from a grant funding that there were 1500 people involved and if he did not give his contribution that he would stop someone else from getting there monies he ask him what the hell that got to do with him and don't call his phone anymore. I called him back yesterday and told him it was a scam and seen all the emails that people had reported on him. tried to call to day they will not answer, but we are born here and we cannot get anything then some b*****d in another country have all our information and we cannot do anything about it. what wrong with that picture. But they can go to school here and get good educations and our kids barley making it in our own country, that politics.

I just got a call from them too, saying that we have 7000 in government grants. They gave me the call back number 202-657-6780 to talk to Ricky Johnson. Again they didn't want to send me a check because "any one can cash it", but they wanted a CC number or a bank account info. Yeah, right!!! Any one can withdraw money with that kind of information!!!

Call came as "private" which I answer in case it is a family member.  A young woman with a heavy accent (Indian?) told me I have a $7000 United States Accounting Department grant waiting for me. I am to call the number and ask for Ricky Johnson. At the end of the call she wanted a credit card number so the amount could be transferred to the credit card (I don't think this is even possible?).  I told her I have no card and she offered to mail a check.  I will Not call 202-657-6780 and ask for Ricky Johnson.
