Report 'em

It is a scam.  You do not receive "grants" unless you have applied for them.  You also NEVER have to pay money to receive a grant.  This is a well known scam:

As per the Federal Grants website at http://www.grants.gov

YOU WILL NOT BE CONTACTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO OFFER YOU A GRANT.
The government does not contact people to offer them money. If you do qualify for a government grant, the government does not request payment for it.

THERE ARE NO FEES ASSOCIATED WITH APPLYING FOR A GOVERNMENT GRANT.
Providing financial information to prove that you qualify for a government grant is typical, but you should never pay money to apply for a grant. People who run scams often claim to provide help and sometimes claim to be "federal government" officials, don't be fooled by these scams that request money from you.

ALL GOVERNMENT GRANTS INVOLVE AN APPLICATION PROCESS
If you have not submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it's a scam. Grant money is not given over the phone for a fee. In order to qualify for a grant you must apply for the specific opportunity that you are qualified to apply for.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS ARE AWARDED FOR EXPLICIT OPPORTUNITIES
Government Grants are typically awarded to states, cities, educational institutions, nonprofits and other organizations to fund research and other projects.

GOVERNMENT GRANT APPLICATIONS AND INFORMATION IS FREE
Be cautious of offers that ask for your personal information (especially financial) when requesting a fee to access grant information. You can always access free information about government grants and other benefits at Grants.gov and Govbenefits.gov

I just received the same call. The number came up unavailable. Can't see anyone giving me money. Walgreens just outsourced our jobs out to India in Aug. The women I spoke to sounded like she was from India but told me she was from Washington DC and her name was Catherine Green. She gave me her supervisors phone number because I didn't want to give her my account number. ARE YOU NUTS!!!!
Is this the way our government does business. So if anyone want Jason White's number to verify its 202-803-4816.

I got this phone call, do you know if it a scam

I received a phone call from 0010000. The man I spoke with told me I had been chosen by the government to receive $10000. Yeah right! He gave me a code and this phone number to call back so that the money will be released to me via Western Union.
Is this a scam? Had anyone else gotten a phone call like this?
