Type of a scam Government Grant

I received a call the evening of June 27 from a woman claiming to be from the US Government. She had a heavy foreign accent, but I'm not sure where she was from. The call came back as a California number. I had received a call like this last year, it followed the exact same script, so I knew it was a scam immediately. She first stated my name and said I won a government grant because I had no criminal record and I had not been behind on taxes or something along those lines. I let her go through her whole script because I figured the longer I had her on the line, the less people she would be able to scam. I forget the amount of money she said I won but I know it was in the thousands. She then asked if I wanted to have the money directly deposited and if so she needed my account number. She said I also had the option of receiving the money on a prepaid card or money gram type deposit. I told her that I am a reporter for a newspaper, which I am, and I had just done a story warning people against these types of scams. She hung up on me.

Type of a scam Government Grant

The caller asked if it was really me. And after I said 'yes', I remembered there's a 'yes' scam going around. I hung up but I think he may have recorded the 'yes' since there was a lag before his next sentence.
