Foreign sounding male individual called cell phone claiming to be from the Federal Government and stated that I had been selected to receive a grant from the Federal Government because I met the guidelines. Caller had my name and home address. Caller stated that for a one-time, refundable $200 application fee I would receive the money via my choice of check, pre-paid card or by Western Union. Caller said to use code AL707 as identifier for Western Union to send the application fee. The caller would not provide further information. Caller did not speak English well and there was lots of noise in the background of his location. I called the number back that showed on my caller ID and another foreign sounding male answered the phone and "verified" the call as real.

I got a call informing me that I will receive a government grant for paying my bills on time. I was one of a group of people chosen. I was then given a phone number and directed to call that number to get the money using a pass code M69. I've heard this 3 times last week as well

1,700 people selected and I am one for a Government Grant offered $9K with a confirmation # and Call back number. Did not even have time to call the number and ask further upon receiving another call offering $7K from the Treasury Dept. and Ck from Reserve Bank of NY with the same spill of a different confirmation # and Call back number to get the money transferred to my account or Cash pick up at a local Western Union. Really??? They said I had been selected through the HHS. Never have to pay back or taxes on these funds. Ha, from the government and not have to pay taxes. They have way too much information they spill out about my phone #, Zip, name, address, etc. and I do not believe a word they have to say since they are foreign accents. Oh, I am to keep all of this confidential since only 1500 people were selected. Since they are different and then I am not a fool to call either but to report this as a SCAM. Thanks for this. If you need further information I will be glad to provide so this can be stopped. Thanks

They told me I was to receive a government grant in the amount of $92000.00. They gave me a I.D. number and told me to call 206-946-8172 and they would instruct me on how to collect the money. they asked if I wanted it sent to my bank account or receive cash. I didn't give my bank account so they said they would get the money to me through Wal-Mart. I hung up and called BBB.

Person called and said I got a grant for $9,000 of free money from the government. All I had to do was go down to my local CVS and they would wire the money. I had to pay $250 to get the money.

6-22-2016. I received a phone call from a female (she said her name is Jane Wilson) with a very distinct accent (I couldn't place it) who told me of a $9000 grant I had been selected to receive. She went into great detail about how the money was tax-free and all I had to do was call her supervisor at the toll free number of 888-869-0311 and give them my authorization # of SW1011. She also asked me to select a pharmacy near me where the grant would be provided. She then called me back in about 3 minutes to see if I had mad the call.

They called my cell phone with a number (727) 623-2384 and said I qualified for a government grant. After listening to all the information they claim they gave me a phone number of (202) 813-0907 and they will ask for an ID number that was provided to me from them which was GG1994. They want to use a western union to send a $9,000 dollar grant, however you need to send the taxes on this amount in order to receive the funds.

I recd a call today at 1:15 PM and spoke to Steven Cotter (had an accent) & he told me he was going to give me a $9200 govt grant. This was a one time deal that I would not have to pay. I was instructed go to Walmart and purchase a card for $200 and give him the no. to activate the card. They will then put the $9200 in the gift card. He also said I would get the $200 back. I called the ScamPulse.com instead to verify information and was told this was a scam.

A man called saying I had been selected to be given. A free government grant.mhe then had me go to a Walgreens where I bought iTunes cards and read him the confirmation letters off the cards. He then continually kept asking me for money to send me this supposed grant. After he asked me for another $1000 I decided that this was weird and asked for my money back. He then talked over me over and over trying to convince me to send another thousand dollars.mi refused and requested my money back. He then said that he could not refund me my money because it had been put into the grant and that only I could get the money but I could not get the money without paying the thousand dollars do the irs. I asked for his manager he said he was the manager then I asked to speak to the irs people and he said that irs does not deal with their customers so only he could talk to them. I was scammed out of $1300.

I recd 3 calls previously regarding a Govt Grant. Today, at 3:45 PM, I spoke to Alan Diaz (he had an accent) ext. was 119. Alan stated I would receive a $7000 Govt Grant but I had to go to Walgreens & purchase an Apple ITune card for $280. Then I would have to give him the no. off the ITune card and then they would send me the Grant money. I called the BBB to check it out & was told this was a scam.

They contacted me with a code to use at a western union which they said I was qualified for a 9000.00$ grant that I would not have to pay back. But I would have to by some type of card that would cost 200.00$ but I would receive this 200.00$ back when the transaction was complete which then my amount would be 9200.00$. They stated I qualified because I am homeless and this was a Obama care grant. The gentlemen gave me his name Michael King and his number 917-338-6020. I really could use this money but I am weary. I don't know if it's real. I did a reverse check on the number and it came up as a scam. So I am writing to you. He expects me to call him again on Monday at 1130 am where I am suppose to be at a Walgreens to complete this transaction. Should I ? It seems so real. Also gave me a code and new so much about me. Can you help me to find out if this is real?

I recd a call at 3:00 PM today offering a govt grant for $7000. I spoke to a man and he asked for my grant approval number. A woman called earlier (before he did) and gave me #CH423. She told me they could send the money to my bank acct but I do not have an acct. Then she stated they could send the money thru Western Union but I did not have an ID; I lost the ID (driver's license) in a house fire 2 yrs ago. The man then said they could send me the $7000 and asked for my name and address; he told me it would be mailed within 2 or 3 days.
