Out of Area...  Didn't answer.

claims to be federal government with free grant money. have told them numerous times to take me off of list and stop calling and the guy today asked me why should he and told me that he would keep doing it.

Called, asked for my husband, I asked who was calling and she Saud Olivia Williams from u.s. govt, dept. That my name and number had been chosen to receive $200,000 that I did bit have to pay back.

Scam - more info here:

As per the Federal Grants website at http://www.grants.gov

YOU WILL NOT BE CONTACTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO OFFER YOU A GRANT.
The government does not contact people to offer them money. If you do qualify for a government grant, the government does not request payment for it.

THERE ARE NO FEES ASSOCIATED WITH APPLYING FOR A GOVERNMENT GRANT.
Providing financial information to prove that you qualify for a government grant is typical, but you should never pay money to apply for a grant. People who run scams often claim to provide help and sometimes claim to be "federal government" officials, don't be fooled by these scams that request money from you.

ALL GOVERNMENT GRANTS INVOLVE AN APPLICATION PROCESS
If you have not submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it's a scam. Grant money is not given over the phone for a fee. In order to qualify for a grant you must apply for the specific opportunity that you are qualified to apply for.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS ARE AWARDED FOR EXPLICIT OPPORTUNITIES
Government Grants are typically awarded to states, cities, educational institutions, nonprofits and other organizations to fund research and other projects.

GOVERNMENT GRANT APPLICATIONS AND INFORMATION IS FREE
Be cautious of offers that ask for your personal information (especially financial) when requesting a fee to access grant information. You can always access free information about government grants and other benefits at Grants.gov and Govbenefits.gov

Get calls from this number off and on - they won't go away!  Grant $$ - really? What turnip truck did I fall off of?

I received the phone call from this number and a lady with a foreign accent sounding Asian told me that on a Friday afternoon at 5 00 p.m. I was chosen to receive a grant and all I had to do to get this $10,200 was give her my bank account number or plastic card (lol) number or Western Union number. I asked her could I call her back and she gave me a number of 202 684 6771. I also asked her to email me an official letter and she said no they could not send me an official letter. hahahah!

Yep, heard from this spoofed number last evening.  I called the number that showed on my Caller ID and the number was not in service.  I didn't answer this call and no message left so I have no clue who it was supposed to be.  Of course I know what they wanted...my info!  Nice try!
