i got a call from that number also claiming to be from the government.his name is fred bleek. told him that would be my future if i fell for his bull. told him he had all my information if he really worked for the government and he should be ashamed and i was going to look up his name and # on the internet. just as i thought. yea i am not just that special 1500 that was chosen,

Whose # is this? Any help is appreciated.

I also received the same call and they told me it was for an irs grant.  All I had to do was wire them $100 to verify my identity and they would wire me back the $100 plus $6000.  I found it really sketchy and refused to do it at first but then I finally wired the $100 and they received it so then we had to verify everything with the IRS Senior officer.  Vincent Cooper told me that I had to wire them another $189 to receive this money tax free and completely legal.  I have refused to send them anymore money as at this point I had realized it was a scam and they got me for $100.  Do NOT answer any calls from this number or any of these other numbers: 661-748-0240  248-442-6600.  Thay are a scam and I have contacted my local police and they had informed me I will not see any of my money back and to broadcast this anywhere that I can.  As it is tax time right now some people like myself will fall into their scams.

Thank You! for posting this because I too received a call asking me to go to the nearest Western Union and when I get there call them. So, I first checked the web and seen your post.

These people contacted me numerous times. I spoke with them 1x and said I would call them back. As I am currently looking for some type of grant as it is rough times during this recession and my vehiicle just broke down.
They even told me to go f*** myself! If they contact you, its is a scam! US Grants do not cost money! If they ask for any money, it is a scam! (804) 451-5244!!!

Did you get cash back or was it a scam?
