Received a phone call from 830-406-3443 was told I qualified for a government grant of 9000$ was given money tracking number WK1102 and a name of Steven Brown ext 1016. Sounded good at first did not give them any info they had my basic information already name, number, address. Mr. Brown told me to call 646-598-3340 and give them tracking number and his name. When I called the above number I spoke to a man giving the name David Bell eat 100501202, again I gave him no info but my first and last name and he had the rest. Mr Bell told me all I needed to do was go to a Walmart or Western Union but take 100$ to purchase a card. I was told not to do anything before calling him back to the 646 number and ext he gave me. This is where it sounded real funny to me so I blocked both numbers and contacted BBB.

The person receievd a phone call from Washington DC saying they were the US Federal Grant Department. They said the person had been selected to receive a grant for $9,200 because they paid their taxes on time. They told the person that they had an arrangement through Apple and they needed the person to purchase $250 worth of iTunes cards at Kroger and that would be their registration fee. After the registration was confirmed then the person would receive the Federal Grant of $9,200 plus the $250 reimbursed for a total of $9,450. They said they would stay with the person on the phone while they spoke with the Federal Reserve bank to make the transaction to send the person the grant money of $9,450. The person asked what would happen next and they said that they couldn't send the money until taxes were paid on the Federal Grant of $750. And after taxes were paid, then the person would receive the Federal Grant plus the $750 back for a total grant amount of $10,200. The person asked them for their address and they gave the following address: 200 Independence Ave. SW Washington DC 20201. The information was googled and looks fake. This were the numbers that tried to scam the person who fell victim: 202-556-1350 Washington DC, 646-867-1360 New York. Report them as fraudulent and alert others not to fall prey into their scams.

They call and stated they were with the United States Federal Grant Office. They said I had been awarded $ 15,000

And all I had to do was to go to the nearest Walgreen's and get a $25.00 Calling card and call them back and give them the authorization number in the back that you have to use when making a call. I started to laugh and told him to take his lies and go somewhere else.

I was contacted by phone by a Susan Smith, phone #520-251-7316, who stated she was with the Federal Grant Department and that as a tax paying citizen of the United States I had been selected to receive a grant in the amount of $9200.00. She instructed me to call a Marvin Knoxville, phone #206-569-8247, to confirm and verify my information. After being told by Mr. Knoxville about the grant program, I was told that all I had to do to finish the process was to send $199. It was at this time that I ended the phone call. I should have gotten more information but nest time.

I received a call on my cell phone today. My caller ID showed District of Columbia with phone number 202-813-0056 Caller stated that I qualify for a $9000 Government Grant. It was free. I did not have to pay it back. I qualify because I pay my taxes. Government is helping families. Asked me what I would do with the $9000. I thought something is not right here. They did not ask me for money. Asked me to call back. They were getting the paperwork together. Advised to call and speak with John Scott in the Accounts Dept. 202-813-0056 X 1447. I called the phone number back. John Scott answered. He asked me if I would like to be direct deposit or do Western Union. I said I want cash. They would send it to me Western Union. I asked how much did I have to pay to get the $9000. He did not give me a dollar figure. I did not send any money or give personal information.
