Personal call, CALLER ID 509-634-5449.

2nd time from the "Government." First call was a month ago.

Male foreigners, middle eastern accent speaking told me that I was selected to receive a $9K dollar grant for being prompt on my tax and for not having any felonies. Requesting to release $200. Told me if I don't have the funds to barrow it from friends, or family members. They gave me a number to call as soon as I have the funds available for them, 202-403-2236.

I am on disabilities and have not been paying tax for years.

I thought to call the ScamPulse.com.

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 260 dollars to receive the grant.

I received a call February 3, 2016 that I was entitled to a $8000 Government Grant. I was told there was a $200 fee that would be returned when my grant was processed. I sent the $200 through Moneygram the same day, but now when I call 646.583.0781 no one answers.

Scam and harassing calls. Always same guy. Always pretending to be a supervisor when you call back. This time his name was Steven foster with Federal Grant Department. Has called before using different numbers, blocked, unknown. Multiple times after being told to remove my name from his list. Continues talking until i say stop for like the fifth time. Then tells me he doesn't need to remove my name even tho it's the law abs then proceeds to tell me he will call back everyday. This time phone #253-617-7413. Tacoma Washington supposedly. Always a different company name but usually for Government grants. I will report this to every agency possible as this has been happening for 2 mos now. Never greet you properly with full name. Want it to stop.

Received a call saying I was selected to receive $6700 grant. That I never had to pay it back. I was given a confirmation code AP127. And to call a Peter Rouser at 917-383-2772. He thrn said I had to pay taxes on the money because it was coming from Washington. That I needed to go to Wal-Mart and send $254 money gram. And then they would send the $6700 +$254 within an hour. He said he would even stay on the phone while I did that. To prove this wasn't a scam. I hung up. I'm sure it's a scam.

An Indian sounding man called me to say I have been selected to receive a government grant. He called me from 718-213-3177. He told me to go to Wal-Mart and go to customer service and call 202-249-7773 when I get there. To good to be true. I know I have not won $7000.

received 2 phone calls telling me the us government was gonna give me free money in the amount of $7000 because I had not filed any criminal charges or bankruptcy in the last 6 months and it was free money no pay back and nothing to pay to get it. So I decided to see how far this went I already could tell it was a scam. they had my name and address, safer talking to this lady she gave me a number to her finical supervisor, they ask where you want to get the money Walmart or one other place, so I said Walmart asked me how long it would take to get there said bout 10 minutes, the he says you transfer $273 to our bank call when you get outside Walmart and you can pick up @7000 plus you will get the $273 back. Did I do this NO because they I knew it was a scam from the beginning just wanted to see how far it went they also said after I received the money the FBI would contact me , now this was suppose to be free money our government isn't gonna give no one free money. So Please don't get sucked in to this or any other scam

These people have called me 3 times. Saying that the Government have select me to get a Government Grant. They said that I will have to get a Money Grant Access Card from Dollar General if I don't have one. And that its going to cost me $200.00 dollars for the card. But the money will not go to anyone. And I will get that money back. They as said that I will not have to pay the Grant back. And I will not have to pay any taxes or anything. These are the number they called from 1-899-814-4721 and the other number to do everything and to verify your Grant this is the number 718-285-8059. My question is this a scam because I feel like it is. And the say other people have been select as all to get the Government Grant. I would really like to know. Thanks so much. And one more thing they also said you have to have a ID number when you call the second number they give you.

They called from a Washington DC number (202) 517-1657 and said I have been selected to receive a $9,000 grant because I have been in good standing with the Government. I paid my taxes and have not gone bankrupt in the last 7 years. They knew my name, address, and phone number and repeated that information back to me. They needed a bank card or credit card to deposit the money on to. Then they gave me a Grant confirmation code of AM888 and said to call their supervisor to release the funds into my card. He said to call Mr. Melvin at (512) 646-0919. I called and Mr. Melvin said he would release the grant on to my card. It would come from the Federal bank of California. I asked him how I receive a grant when I didn't apply for one. He said it is the government rewarding taxpayers. That I do not have to pay it back. Then he said I need to Moneygram or Walmart to Walmart $250 to activate my account so he could release my grant money. I said no so he got mad and said well he will find someone who needs the money more than me. I said that's fine.

I have been receiving calls from someone claiming they are from Washington and that I have won a Federal Grant.  They said I was eligible because I had paid my taxes on time. I was told it was an $8,000 grant.  They gave me a claim number and a telephone number to call for further information.  The number they told me to call was 202-657-4610.

I was contacted by telephone four times in two days by someone saying he worked for Federal Government Grants saying I had won a grant.  That a small number of people had been picked randomly to get this grant.  He wanted me to go to Walmart and send a money order for $170.00 as a registration fee and then they'd send my grant money of $4,800.  They gave me a number to call - 646-583-0671.  I called the number and it was a "chat hotline" for men and women.
