It was someone from who said they were from the government and wanted to offer us $8500. We said no thanks and hung up. Initially they asked if it was *** ***, and he answered yes, so we are thinking its related to the yes scam.

I received a call on the phone. They said that I qualified for a Federal Reserve Grant because I didn't have a criminal record and had no bankruptcies. They said the fee was $250 for registration fee to receive the grant but that I would get that money back once I got the grant. They said to pay the fee by Western Union, credit card or banking account information.

A man with an Indian called and said that I qualified for a government grant. He proceeded by telling me how I qualified for the grant. Then ask me how I wanted to receive my grant. I was foolish enough to give him my credit card info but then I realized it's a scam so I quickly went to the bank to cancel my credit card info. never again. Find those scammers and thiefs please

Free government grant of $7000.00. Never to be paid back. The only exception was that would have to go to Walmart or Western Union and send them a one time fee of $250.00 It was 12:36 when i talked with them. I told that it would be 3:30 before i could go to Walmart. So i was told that when i called at 3:00 i was to call 202-656-9603 ext: 112 ask for lisa and give her my accountinfo of CL6813

I was contacted by a woman named Clara stating that I had been awarded a government grant in the amount of $9000, all I had to do was pay a $200 registration fee to get the grant via an iTunes card. I recognized that this was a scam right away and did not spend any of my money but I wanted to warn others so they would not fall for it.

Called stating employee was from Washington DC government grant eligible for one time offer if I went to Walmart or Walgreens to get $200 gift card and call them back when I had that available. Stated I was eligible for $8000 grant for college and did not have to pay it back to the government. Man spoke little English and could not understand his name. I asked for the business name and he stated he worked for a government organization owned by the government in human services for grants and treasury department. I thought he said his name was Jason; however, he barely spoke English, so I am certain this is a scam.

Called me on my phone saying that I have good credit and have no bankruptcy and I was awarded a grant. They said it was free money and I could do anything I want with it and I didn't have to pay it back. They gave me a 206 number that I called and they put me on hold and I hung up after 2 minutes. I had a special number for them to know who I am, it was mk476. I decided not do this because I knew it was not on the up and up. I was called today on 1-12-17 and really listened to them. I called the local news and they said they are out there and they do do this.
