202-666-8460

This caller said that they were with the United States Grant Treasury Department and that a one time grant in the amount of $8,400.00 would be either deposited into a checking or savings account or any of debit card or credit card.  The lady said her name was Monica Louri (Lauri).  In return for this grant to be released to me they wanted a two payments of $215.00 to cover taxes and processing fees.  That is a total of $430.00 they told me if I did not have it if I could borrow it from family or friends to cover this amount and that she would stay on the line until I received the money to pay to cover the taxes and processing fees and then she would also stay on the line for the 45 minutes that it would take for the money to appear on my card or in my account to be used as I wanted starting today.  I told her that if they were asking for money that this is a scam and I would not make no payments of any type to receive free grant money.  I told her I would be reporting her to scam alerts and she hung up on me.  The other number she also used to call from was (202) 666-8460.  Please be aware of these people and do not get scammed.  I was smart enough to know better than to give anyone any money for more money for free that is what we here in America call a SCAM!

I got the same call as above, from (202) 666-8460.  I was chosen to receive $8,400.00 U.S. Government Grant because I always paid my taxes on time.   I just never choose an option.  I should have known immediately with the "666".  I asked what information was she going to need from me so that I could receive this Grant money.  She said she had all the information required, name and address and phone number.  I had a very difficult time understanding her, they must have sent it out of the country to have the calls made.  I told her it sounded to good to be true and I was hanging up the phone.  I am glad I looked it up, so I can know what she would have said if I had chosen an option.  

Beware, Bad people out there!

I also recieved the same exact call from (202) 666-8460. I knew immediately when I could hardly understand what the man was saying that it was a scam and said I was not interested and hung up.  I have notified all my friends and family, please pass this along.  Shame on them!

I really dislike people that prey on hard working families hope they have to deal with the same and I hope and prey they get what's coming to them. Shameful !!!

Got the same call today.  Other sites it comes up as a Verizon call center, and one one a pager/cell phone.  Yesterday I think their scam was not working so well got the same spiel from +52 678 945 623, that one had the same government spiel, but when I quizzed him as to which government was giving me money, the US or Mexican, he got flustered and hung up.

I got 6 calls from this number today. Twice there was a woman that was asking for Mr. Ben something, could'nt catch the name. The sound of the phone call was way off. The other times there was just nothing, I would pick up the phone and nobody  is there. I tried to call the number, but all i get is " all the circuits are busy now." Very weird.

How do I make them STOP??? They are calling me every hour! Six calls in one day! I did not even pick up. My call blocker has blocked some of the calls, but not all.

Just got a call from the same number 202-666-8460 didn't take call and glad i didn't.

I just received a call from 202-666-8460 stating that they were with the United States Grant Treasury Department and that a one time grant in the amount of $8,400.00.  He said I would never have to pay it back or pay taxes on it.  I knew immediately that this was a scam so I asked him to just mail me something and he hung up.

Got the same scam call today. Why does the government FBI stop these crooks. They could easily trace the phony number. Guess it sounds true and seems it is from DC but can be from anyplace in the world. Can the phone companies drop these ponies?

Just got a call from this number again this time i picked up and played along asked if they could just mail me the money the man said they would have to deposit it to a bank account or credit card so i told him to give me his account number and pin so  i could withdraw the $8400 from his account - his $430 but gov.reg. would not allow him to do that  so that's when i told him i had already look this number up and knew it was a scam . then he said i would not be receiving my grant and hung up.

I too just got the call from this number. But when I said I need someone who speakss English, they hung up. I have reported this to the IRS as they are trying to pass themselves off as a Government Agency.

Call the IRS and report the call.

Call the IRS and report the call. They are passing themselves off as the Department of Treasury

Call the IRS and report the call and phone number

Let them know you called the IRS and FBI to report the scam

just got called twice by this number 202-666-8460 the first time they were told to not call here but called again in fifteen minutes.  i asked them who was calling and no answere.  told them to please hold that an inter-pol agent will assist them, they hungn up

I got two calls from 202 666 8460 and when I asked them to issue me a check they refused. They are not from the united states government because if they were they would not ask for a credit or debit card number from you. This is a scam and I am not falling for it

When I asked this person to take me off of the calling list his reply was "ma'am. I'll take your name off of the [***] calling list if you just listen to me" then he proceeded to tell me my name, age and current city. Of course now I'm scared for my safety. Should I report this to the police?

This lady called and said I won the grant as well. Same story as the others. She was asking me for a credit card number that they could "put" the money on for me. She kept saying it could be a zero amount or a negative credit amount she just needed the number. I told her I would not give out my number to anyone over the phone. She then told me they would have to give my money to someone else. I hung up.
