Caller states that I have been approved for a Federal Government Grant and is requesting personal information to send my $9000. Caller became upset when I informed him that if he worked for the Federal Government, he should have all my personal information.

They are creating fake profiles and saying they found you on a list for a government grant. This happened to me personally I thought it was my grandmother and it turned out it was not her. She sent me a link. I thought it was for a savings bond she had for me. They were asking for addresses and email etc. so you can claim your "winnings".

Scammer copied my brother's facebook page and asked to reconnect with me saying he was having a stalker problem and needed to remove all his friends and start over. Once I connected with him again, he said he was looking to invest the grant money he just got ($100K) and asked how much I got. When I told him I didn't know anything about it, he sent me the link to another facebook page to some so-called Government Grant Agent named David Chris (picture attached but this may have been stolen also). Once connected with Government Agent David, he asked my full name to check their database. That's as far as I got before my instincts were telling me to connect with my brother via text message and he confirmed that his Facebook page had been hacked. My mom and other friends had the same spiel pulled on them. I immediately "unfriended" my fake brother and Agent David, blocked both of them and reported both of them to Facebook.

A person called me and said I won a $7000.00 grant, he called me from 206-939-5207 and told me to text Steve Jackson at 206-317-1580. Then I was told in order to get the grant I had to go and get an ITunes card for a $100.00.I called the ScamPulse.com in Raleigh, NC and he told me to feel out this form.

I was told by someone I know over facebook that they had received a federal grant and they wanted to let me know so I could get financial help. Well they linked me to a lady name Mary A. Debbie from texas and said she would help me. I answered a few harmless questions like my name my marital status etc. No bank account or ssn. But after I answered all the questions she proceeded to tell me I had to pay a "clearance fee" to receive this grant. But it had to be paid upfront. There was no way around this without payin upfront. She said she works at federal government grants. But she had no friends on her facebook page and only her cover picture and profile picture were the only photos she had. Her name is Mary A. Debbie and it says below it exactly how I entered it in the following text. (Anthony Mary A. Debbie)

Foreigner called about Government grant address 915 Second Ave, Seattle WA 98176, phone number 254-647-0081, asked for Walmart credit card number, and last 4 digit of social security number. Every time they call use different phone number, call at different times of day, and repeatedly calls several time per day. Is there any way you can investigate them and stop them from calling us or anyone bc it is a scam.

I have received numerous phone calls from people stating that I am eligible for government grants. They are requesting my bank account information to deposit funds. When calling back this phone number it states that the number cannot be connected. The number is(754) 284-0011. The phone number this last time came up to a Florida number. I believe it is a disposable phone being as though right after the number cannot be found. They refused to give me their information as far as the name of a company.

I received a call saying that I was to receive a grant in the amount of $9200. Grant approval number is RA167. I spoke to Jessica/Jesse and then to a "manager". I was to go to Western Union and wire $280 and I would immediately get my grant and the money I sent back. Jesse had an accent.

I just wanted to report a call I got this morning, which I know is a scam. They said I qualified for $9000 in grant money, that could be sent by western union, Wal-Mart, check or debit card, or my bank. The number I was contacted from is 1-639-510-0000. I let them do their spill, and then she informed me to call the management team to process it. That number is 1-202-780-9346. I did not call of course, but they did sound legit, and even gave me a grant I.D. number. Just hoping that you can get these two numbers cancelled, so know one might get scammed. Thank you

Got a call on 2/12/ 16 around 4:30 p.m.. Person was claiming that we've been randomly selected for a free government grant of $9,200. I told him that that doesn't make any sense, so no thank you. But he went on to say that because we haven't been late on paying taxes or any criminal record that's why we were selected. When I inquired further he said they had only 3 months of history to show for us. He got frustrated with me and told me to just listen . Then he wanted me to take down an I.D. number so I could claim this grant. I told him no thank you and hung up. He called right back, and said that he called back because he wanted to tell me that I had a very lovely and nice voice, so he wanted to call me back and tell me that he would take me off the list. I told him good because I think that this is a scam. And all he said back was if you think it the scam then its a scam. So I hung up.

They called me stating that, I was going to receive a grant. First they verified all my information before they explained to me how and why I was selected. I thought it was a grant for school. After I verified my information they explained that the government choose random people that always paid the bills on time. The grant amount was 9000 dollars. I had three choices on how I wanted to receive the money, 1. Debit account, 2. Check in mail, and 3. Money gram. I choose the money gram. Next the guy told me the only thing I have to do is show them an ID at the money gram store and pay 280 dollars to receive the grant. I hung up on them and 5 seconds later I received another call from a different person saying I had been selected to receive grant money and I told her that I already had a confirmation number from the first person that called and I am not paying you a dime. Wow it got interesting after that. Still waiting on her to call with explanation as to why they are asking for money.

I was contacted by a guy who stated that he worked for the government and I had been chosen to receive $8,500 since I had not filed bankruptcy or been in trouble with the law in the last 6 months. He gave me a money activation number and then told me I had to call a phone number to get it activated and then I could go pick up my money from moneygram. When I called the number they stated that all I had to do was pay the security deposit of $275 and then I could pick up my money.
