They said they were with us grants and got $2700 from my cousin. This was her last bit of money. She has had a lot of financial issues due to economy and said she was approved for 7800 if she paid this amount. How horrible why do people do this. I need to find them. I have already have the info or where the picked up the money. I am going after these people.

A man named Alex Cruz called yesterday telling me I was approved for an us grant.  I sent that man basically all of my money that me and my children had. Called this man this morning and he tells me all i have to do is send him $325 to receive $8500. I asked the man to send me back all my money he said he couldnt because he could lose his job.. I sent him $200, $781, $325 this man is a con artist, scam and full of BS. Im an single mother of three children, just lost my job, waiting on my unemployment and this bs has happen to me and my family.. someone please help!!! ALEX CRUZ MUST BE STOPPED OR WHATEVER HE WANTS TO CALL HIMSELF....

I just recieved a call from these people not 20 minutes ago. I was super excited because I have been applying for government grants so I can buy a house. She said her name was Ciera, which was suspicious in it's self because she was an Indian woman, and that I was chosen to recieve a $7800.00 governement grant. Her employee # is 159CE23. She said the company's name was Federal Government Grant Department. The call was from an unknown number. She said to go to a Western Union Money Transfer Store and call 202-684-3436 and ask for her then she would walk me through what I needed to do. She said I needed to bring three things with me, My ID, My cell phone (to call her back on), and $200.00 to send to them first so they could verify my signiture. She said the $200.00 dollars would be refunded within two minutes after they verified my signiture. I thought that $200 was a little steep to just verify a signiture and I told her that I didn't have $200. She sugested that I borrow it froma a friend or family member because they were going to refund it so they wouldn't really be out of any money.

I asked her how I was chosen to recieve this grant. She sounded upset that I was asking but she finally said that they conducted a survey in my area. I don't remember participating in a survey. That is why I looked up this number.

A woman called me from government, there was not any number on the phone and told me about grand program, but the number was changed because I have received a call from 2026843436 number few days ago

I knew it was too good to be true.  Ha, exact thing just happened to me 5 minutes ago.  Bring $200, ID, Phone, Western Union receive $7,800 from the Federal Grant Department.  If i was to get a grant i would have to fill out multiple forms and then wait forever for it. These people SUCK.

Yep. Just got it. Said thay were federal government grants and loans n I was one of the chosen 20,000 in the nation for a 78000 gov grant. I gotta go to a western union n send $200 to god knows where for 2 min. Then I would get 8000 bak. Had to take an ID, Cell to call her when I get there. And 200 bucks. Some asian with bad english. Sry cant do it hunn. Im going to write a computer program that will call that # back every 2 seconds 4 ever. It will b awsome. Ill shut that # down those .... Try n scam me. N if im wrong the feds will come n ill b like"get a better system of distributing your loans n hire better agencies to do it. Particularly ones that speak english" its a win win!

they are trying to get me to give them money, they are thieves

I just got the call about 30min ago I went to walmart to find a western union lucky they had money gram instead so I said let me google this to see if this is tru or not and this is what I got everybody is saying the same thing these people need to go down they almost had me

I called Kelly smith back and tried to curse her out but she was all on top of that she start cursing me out even better she told me to go suck a d___ how do the FBI catch people like this who am I suppose to report this to

I just got the exact same call as everyone else with the exact same info. Due to my work background I knew immediately that it was a scam. I was able to get some information from them after calling them back and chewing them out telling them what horrible people they were. In case anyone is interested they are located in Washington DC there address is as follows

200 Independance Ave
Triple H Building SW Washington
Washington DC 20201

The address to me even seems a little hoaxy but that is what he gave me if understood them right since they did not speak very clear english.

If I were you I would pass the word about these people they will continue to do what they are doing until somebody puts a stop to it.

Thank you and good luck!

The gallery is real but they don't make phony loan calls.

Just recieved a call from these idiots, told them that I didnt have the 200.00,  the lady on the phone  supposedly went to her supervisor and then told me all I had to do is come up with 110.00, yeah right I've recieved grants before and never had to fork over any amount of money to recieve it.  THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM BEYOND ALL PROPORTIONS, HANG UP THE PHONE AND RUN VERY FAST.

I'm telling all you guys that you should contact your local police department with all the information you have on these guys. I just received the same call and that is what i did. The lady got mad at me when she noticed i was trying to get information out of her. I'm telling you guys this from a professional point of view justice cann be served i promise.
