Type of a scam Government Grant

I been trying to obtain a loan for a long time now and honestly didn't lean towards the fact that it could be a scam due to false hope but nonetheless when I called the number provided in the text and got no answer or a answer i knew then that it was a scam and I did research and realized that the National Institute of Health wouldn't approve a loan i never applied for and that they wouldn't send me that information in a text message. This is what the text contains

"This message is from the National Institute of Health(nih) , to inform you that

I got a FB message from my friend. He told me he got a $100,000 grant from the National Institute of Health. He said he paid $2500 to get the grant and I should go ahead and pay the compensation and delivery. Our friend said he got his money within 8 hours. So I was going to pay Lam $1000 for $100,000.

Type of a scam Advance Fee Loan

A “friend” sent an email on Messenger asking if I have heard of a program through the National Institute of Health for helping the old, disabled, retired and widows. They asked for my name, address, phone number and my current age to see if I was a winner of a grant for 100,000.

Once I gave them that information they gave me a reference # and asked me to get 5 $100 ITunes cards. They said they were a federal agent. This seemed odd to me that a federal agent was working on a Sunday. I needed to get them the gift cards right away. They kept texting and when I didn’t respond they started sending inappropriate messenger emails again.

A number from the United States kept calling my phone but I wouldn't answer the phone. Finally, I decided to answer my phone and the lady stated that I was accepted to receive a government grant and that I didn't have to pay anything. She stated my name and the state I live in as well. Then, she proceeded to ask me for my driver's license number as a form of identification. Immediately, I began to notice this was a scam. I didn't apply for any grant money from the government at all. I told the lady I was busy and call back later. As soon as we hung up the phone, I visited this website to find out for sure if this was a scam. I wasn't surprised to find out that this was indeed a scam.

Different men with strong Indian accent and poor English vocabulary have been calling several times to my cellphone even on Saturday, claiming that the National Institute of Health Government Dept has granted me $9,000.00 I hung up. Then later I was called again by a different guy different voice, but same Indian accent telling me that I have a grant of 14,000usd That every year the government grant money to some citizens who never filed for bankruptcy, had a criminal record or a traffic violation, etc. He told me to take note of a grant manager phone number that I need to call a grant ID number and an address, and that I need to call immediately. I asked questions that he pretended not to understand and was very insistent that, it is my money and they don't want to keep it, soon after he started asking me to confirm my name, my age, my telephone number, my marital status, my address, etc. I refused to confirm more than just my name and phone number. This calls are so classic scams to still someone's identity.

Type of a scam Government Grant

The caller spoke with a thick foreign accent. He described the process to me how the government chose me to receive $14,566 in grant money to use as I choose. He had me write down a number #PS013, a phone number 240-437-4044 ( which I called to find that this is a personal number belonging to an innocent citizen, without an accent completely unaware of this situation), and an address: 9000 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, Maryland 20392. After having me write all this information he told me that in order to receive the "grant" money I would need to give him my bank account number or debit card number so they can "put the money there." When I told him he was "out of his mind" he suggested I buy a pre-paid card to gave them put it on that. When I continued to enforce that this was a scam he proceeded to defend himself. The connection was really bad as well.

Type of a scam Government Grant

Officer Andrew White badge ID # AW294 called me with his phone number and address to tell me I have been selected to receive $14,566.00 in tax free monies because I met the following criteria:

Paid my taxes on time

No criminal record

have not cost the Federal government any monies (verbatim)

The grant comes partially from the government and partially from private donations , in my case Apple.

He told me we would be putting those monies on an Apple card right over the phone. I asked him to send it to my address as he confirmed he had my address. I was told the transaction was going to be complete before we got off the phone.

I was offer the choice of having it wire transferred to an account. I declined that choice.

When I looked up the scam online while on the phone and started to read the information to him, he became defensive and said he would send the police department in my town to my door to deliver the grant. I told him I thought that was a wonderful idea and that I would wait for the police.

I'm still waiting... hahaha I knew it was a scam from the beginning but I wanted to play it out with him on the phone to get more information to report
