They call and say you relieved a grant $15,496 from us government and then ask a bunch of yes or no questions. I think it's another version of the don't say yes scam.

Type of a scam Government Grant

I received multiple phone calls on my cell phone within a 2 day period from different phone numbers, all saying they were with US Government and my phone number was chosen to receive a grant. I refused to offer any bank information, but when asked if I was the owner of the phone and if I was responsible for paying the bill, I said yes. Once I said yes, they no longer continued the calls.

Type of a scam Government Grant

At 11:59am eastern time today, 2-23-17, I received a call from a California phone number 408-600-1337,(ext 144) telling me that I had been selected to be given a grant from the USA government, $9,000(exact number not recorded). Reason being, I have not filed for bankruptcy or had any government action taken against me within the last 6 months. They knew my info; address, email and phone... and kept trying to get me to say "yes" or "OK. To the best of my knowledge I did not say either. The caller's name given was Anthony Foster. The caller had a very thick accent so I doubt that was his given name, and he really sounded like a she. I asked them to email me information ([email protected] the email they had for me) . After I said thank you and hung up on them, I called the number back,, what a surprise it was busy,, you know that rapid busy sound,, I called several times, same.

I received a similar call earlier in the week. It was not from the same number. They hung up when I asked who they were.

Type of a scam Government Grant

I received a phone call Saturday (11/26/16) stating I had been selected by the US government for a grant that was completely free. Would not have to pay it back. He said the government had randomly chose my name and number to receive $9000.00 without any obligations. He gave me a number that I had to call back (315) 875-7977. And told me to use the code MK414. I knew this was a scam and wanted to get as much information as possible. I dialed the number and told THAT gentleman that I was somewhat skeptical because if something sounds too good to be true, it normally is. He got very upset and hung up on me. I then called him back and said the language barrier was not my problem and I couldn't understand why the government would have someone calling that I couldn't even understand. He gave me the information and of course, at the end stated that I would have to pay $250 that would be fully refunded once that transfer the funds into my account or Western Union. However I prefer. I just don't want someone to be scammed by this caller that would be trusting and/or naïve. As the same man called me again today. But the phone # came up as a "private number".
