I just got a call from this number.  I have not given this number to ANYONE and in fact, my cell phone number is under my fiance's name.  Anyway, the woman that I spoke with kept asking for me and I pretended not to be the person they were asking for.  She said that she was calling from "government grants" and before she could continue, I informed her that she was a scam...that I already contacted the FBI to report her...and she hung up.  Don't mess with me!

man calls saying i got $25,000 in grant money, i had recived $1,000 form school contacted the Student financila aid office at school and was told it  was a scam and not to give out info they did not have

called me, I called them back. It took me to a hospital switchboard. When my mom called today they said that they were an online web services sale

I'm as well on the do not call list and this number called me!! I'm tired of these numbers calling my phone!!

keeps calling my number every few days. My cell phone is on the DO NOT CALL LIST but they keep calling

if you have a cell phone- apply for smart limits which allows you to block 15 numbers through at&t- you pay 4.00 but its worth th piece and quiet

I just got a call from this # as well. Some foreign gentleman left me a message (accidentally I assume) saying nothing but "Hello?? Helllooo???" Sounded like there were more people in the background making other calls.

unknown caller oon my cell phone

Called cell phone

I've been getting calls from this and other #s for 3 weeks, and Im already broke as it is. so none of this !@#$%^&*( pls.

These people are total creeps!!!!! I signed up for do not call list and they still keep calling me!

This number keeps calling my cell phone it says Indiana. I just got this phone from verizon.

I had them call me constantly for weeks and I kept telling them to stop calling but of course they didn't.  But then I tried another approach, I answered and acted as if I were interested, I let them do their speech and was very polite.  I asked questions and agreed that it sounded like a great deal, when they asked for my info to send the cd/packet I informed them that I had just recieved a full scholarship to school (not even in school) and although I was interested in their offer I don't need it.  I asked more questions about the product and acted interested but made sure to tell them politely that I recieved a full scholarship and didn't need the offer.  Eventually (5 mins) the guy was frustrated and he said "well sir I don't want to waste any more of your time or mine I'll let you go" and he hung up.  They have never called back - been 3 months now.

Pushy, obnoxious woman with strange accent, (called me by name) in a loud war-room full of Indian's or P***'s, telling me (for the 5th time) that they were going to send me a CD full of information on government grants...bla-blah-blab! I told her that for the last time:"PLEASE PUT THIS NUMBER ON YOUR DO NOT CALL LIST!" I'm filing with the FCC, this is 5 nights in a row! I'm already ON the damned National Do Not Call List! These b*****ds need to rot in jail! Time for the FCC to start doing it's job.

all grant offerings whether by phone, emails or websites are all SCAMS.  

Those that fall for them just refuse to do any research before accepting the "offer".  
Those websites that promise to send a CD for the cost of postage and you agree to sign up for their worthless membership programs (because they could not be bothered to actually read the Terms and Conditions they are agreeing to)

Government Grant Scams
The "free money" scam has been around almost as long as the human species. It has more variations than a bulldog has wrinkles but you can count on one thing: the government (any government) does not simply give money away to individuals. Anyone who tells you differently has larceny in his heart. If you give him your bank account number, he will soon have your funds in his pocket.
It does no good to list all of the names used by these bunko artists because a.) they change all the time and b.) every single free-money government-grant offer is a scam. Period.


Grant Scams     from Federal Trade Commission Website
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/alerts/alt134.shtm

Federal Grant scam is a scam wherein unsuspecting citizens receive a phone call informing them that they are amongst the very few who have been selected for a government grant. Scammers and fraudsters operating such federal grant scams or government grant scams assure the ?prospective receivers? that the grant is free and does not need to be paid back. At this point many of us would suspect something fishy and would back out, but there are some who do fall for such federal grant scams. Those who have fallen prey to such federal grant scams inform that their bank account information was acquired so as to facilitate the transfer of the ?government grant? into their bank accounts. The next thing was pretty much obvious with the bank accounts being wiped out clean by these federal grant scammers.

This company will wipe you clean.

Once I answered just to see what it was about and was told about my application to on-line college was accepted. Since I already have a degree, I KNOW this wasn't true and told the person to stop calling me...only to receive these calls 2X/day for the past month. I just do not answer now.

on do not call list but they keep calling

this call came into my cell and I am also on the Do Not Call list.  They have called me several time and I have informed them to stop calling.  I wish I knew how to stop them I guess this must mean that the DO NOT CALL list doesnt work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

received a call - they stated that I had signed up for a federal grant & they were calling me to verify info - I told them that I did not apply for a grant of any sort & I was not going to give them any info and if they had my info then they could send to me in the mail. She said that if I changed my mind to call back - I called just to see what they would do - the only thing that I got was a "GOOD BY" and the number hung up on me. A TOTAL SCAM!!!!!!!

Called me to tell me the Grant money is ready to be sent out (that I applied for - in reality did not).  Needed to call back at 8776137374.  Male voice, no name is given

Called me by my first name and claimed to be sending me the "grant money" I had supposedly applied for. I haven't applied for grant money. Also, I am on the national do not call list.
