Report

a man called my husband who said he was with the government and my husband was picked as an outstanding citizen, hasn't filed bankruptcy, no late payments on home, etc..so he was selected to receive $9000.00. This was a one time gift and he wouldn't have to pay it back.They would send the money to any place my husband wanted to pick it up and this wasn't a scam. But they would have to pull his file to verify everything before they send the money. My husband didn't give any information to this man. When i called the number back from my work phone (didn't want to use my cell phone just in case) the phone line was very scratchy and no one answered the phone.

Judy Bell called me and told me I was randomly selected for a government grant because I pay all my bills on time for $9500.00. She asked me how old I was, if I was single, if I lived alone. My grant number is JN227. She told me to go to Rite Aid, Walmart or CVS and buy a card to pay a $200 registration fee. She had a Jamaican accent. She asked for my credit card number to put the money on it. I gave her a Mastercard number.

I keep getting calls saying I've been randomly selected to receive a government rant for $9000. She said it was because I had never been arrested. The caller says she's to go to a store, buy a card, put $250 on the card. He told me he would stay on the phone with me until I got to Walgreen or Walmart. He said you're going to go in and buy a card. He said I could spend the money on anything but alcohol. I told him I wasn't dumb. Then her "manager" called me back. She got mad when I asked her if her office hadn't been raided, so she started calling and hanging up over and over. She spoke very good English. 646-598-1463, 202-558-4171

$9000 grant offered. Fernando Henderson. 202-930-1381, ext 741. He gave me an approval code AB121 and that I should call them back. They said I should pay them $100 and they would pay me back when I got the grant. He said the grant would not affect my benefits. He told me to go to Walmart and do a money transfer. He had a weak accent, maybe Spanish. I do not take his calls.

I received three calls yesterday from this number 202.400.2000. The man stated I was receiving a grant from the government for $9,000. I asked him specifically what branch of the government and he asked me the verify my personal information. He kept pressing me to verify my information and I kept pushing for his info, which of course he could not provide. Interestingly, my husband and mother received the very same call, along with 4 of my friends. Everyone thus far has confirmed the same phone number but given the number of people in my circle I think that this may be an issue.

Thanks ,

Received phone call and told that I was chosen for a 9000 dollar grant from the American Recovery and Reconsiliation Act and I could pick it up at a Money Gram store for 200 Dollars and it would be given back to me. The guys name was Anthony Young and a telephone # of (202) 780-7599 but the first number was from (202)868-7578 with a young lady with a accent calling. I was told to call back once I made it to Wal- Green on Mastin Lake Road. I did not take the bait.
