These people called stating I had been approved for a government grant, I paid processing fees of $1000.00. They later requested an additional $2000.00 which I explained I did not have, they then said they would send me a check to cover it and to call them as soon as I was able to deposit the $4000.00 check into my bank. The bank alerted me that this is a known scam.

I was recently looking for grants online. A few days later I got a call saying I had been approved for a government grant for $3,500. They even told me to go to grants.gov to see that they are legit. I was told they could transfer the money to me for free if I gave them my debit card number. Being suspicious, I told them I didn't have a debit card, only a checking account. They said they could deposit the money that way but I would have to sign up for their program for $19.95 for 2 months and they would need my account and routing number. I told them I wanted to call the ScamPulse.com and see what they said about it and they said they would call back in a 1/2 hour. I called ScamPulse.com and they said it's a scam. A 1/2 hour later, they did call back and when I told them I had called the BBB, they hung up on me.

I almost got scammed out of 15,000$ I thought it was promising but I was still sceptical about it. I did research on randomly selected federal government grants and all I got was red flags. If you get this call, please be careful or your life will never be the same

I was contacted by a good friend of mine that he won a grant of $250,000 and showed me a picture of pile of cash he received . I trusted him because he is a friend supposedly . I think of it later that he was an accomplice of the scam . First , Joe Loris to send $3000 worth of Amazon and Google play to receive my funds . Then he called me and said that package was held at Biloxi International Custom and ask me to pay him $3250 to pay customs . He told to wait for the package 5/27/19 . After that date he called me that funds were held at Konfidential Bank in Miami . He phished the tracking Sx and the bank . They were faked . Now he asked me for $17000 to get access code to get the funds . I did not send the money this time . I was scammed out of $6350 total . Now I realized that it was a big scam and my friend was his accomplice . Warning ! Do not trust your friend

I received a message from one of my friends on Facebook. She was asking how I was doing then she stated she was feeling blessed because she was approved for a government grant that she doesn't have to pay back. She stated that she was going to open a grocery store ( which I thought was wired because she is retired). Then she asked if I wanted to try and see if I could get approved. I said sure I could uses some money. Then she sent me the guys name and number Mr. Ron Anderson 601-460-9575. I texted him and he forwarded me the link to apply. I did just to see what would happen. I was approved for 120,000.00 and all I had to do to get the money was to pay for the delivery pin. I asked how much. I was told $450.00 in stream gift cards. I told him that I have never heard of them. He told me where to go and buy them. I was feeling pretty uneasy about that. So I asked my friend and she was like ya that's how I did mine. I told my friend that I have been scammed before and I don't feel safe about it and I stated asking my friend questions that only she would now. Like how did we met. She got defensive about that she said I cant believe you don't believe me. She would never answer the question. I then asked her to call me and she stated No, she couldn't because she just had otolaryngology surgery and couldn't talk. When I told the 2 different people that I know its a scammed I haven't heard back from them.

Called and verified my name, age and ss# and said i was to recieve a 9000.00 dollar federal grant. They gave me a activation code and then the phone number listed above.

I called the number and a second person answered the phone and told me to go to a western union and purchase a 200.00 dollar activation card to release my 9000.00 dollars into my bank account.

At this point i asked for the name of the Finical group and she said

United State's Federal Government based out of New york. The name Given was Kathy Cooper.

I proceeded to tell her that this is not how the goverment works and there is usually paperwork involved with a Grant. She argues with me for several minutes.

I hope this gets cleared up.

There was a lady and a man who called me stating I have a $9200.00 Government Grant waiting for me at Walmart, they both have Indian Accents. So, I called them back on the 855 number they called me on and ask what this was about. For one thing, I know you have to apply for a Government Grant if you want one and you are not approve right-a-way. The lady said I paid all my bills on time so, it was a reward. I need to go to Walmart and pick up the money but, before that I would need to send them $350.00 for taxes. I told her just take the money out of the $9200.00 Government Grant they was sending me. She pause for a few minutes, they she ask me for my bank account number and she can transfer the monies into that...That's when I told her I work for Home Land Security and the Justice Department and she hung up on me quick.

Cheri had sent me a fb message (which I had to accept, but thought it was because I made a new fb and I didn't think it was strange at the time). I know this woman pretty well and was happy to hear from her, at first it was small talk and she seemed to say things just like cheri. She proceeded to explain how happy she was and asked if I had heard the good news. I told her no I had not and she went on to explain a grant of some kind I can't even explain because I didn't quite understand it nor had I ever heard of it, but she said she got a free money grant of 150,000 and she wanted to help me get one too! We proceeded to message throughout the day and I thought it seemed a little odd she was pretty much selling this grant to me saying I could get it too. She told me a man helped her submit the grant info and that she recieved it next day via FedEx, this is when she gave me his number, told me he was online and told me to message him. Well it got to be about 10:30 PM and I know cheri pretty well to know she doesn't just stay up on fb messenger messaging people late at night (well 10:30 is late to her anyways, she's told me before in person not to call/text her after 9). I fell for it at first thinking cheri is so sweet and I trusted her, so I text the man (or whomever it was) he requested some basic information about me, which I gave with some caution. Then Cheri proceeds to message me that she had to pay a shipping fee which was a percentage of the grant and that she got it next day and she's so excited and Hope's i got the same deal. I then question her more asking is this really cheri? Saying this is like you to be online so late and what now seems to be pushing a grant onto me. I asked to call her and she tells me she had surgery and can't speak and should be in bed but proceed to message me. So I text cheri on her cell phone and she tells me to stop, it's a scam, that people had made a new fb with her name and picture and to not give them anything. I then tell the fake fb cheri that they are not real and they needed to stop and that's when the man I had text told me they were reporting me to FBI and that they had my address and the cops would be there in the morning if I didn't cooperate and complete the grant with them. I stopped responding. The real cheri says this has been a 3 day occurence now and that she has contacted fb and reported them but nothing seems to be done.

I applied for loans online. I got an email from a man who said I could get free grant money. I got a call from a woman in Washington DC, Sharon, 202-627-0399, ext. 104. She wanted $500. She told me to go to Walmart and buy a Google Play card. I offered my debit card, but she didn't want it. I said I don't have $500. She called back and said she's come up with a new plan. She gave me an ID number, and told me to go buy a card for $250 fee to transfer the funds from Washington DC to me to activate an enrollment ID number. She told me that when I get to Walmart, she would tell me what card to buy. They've called me a bunch of times. She was foreign. Her supervisor was an American man.
