yeah I got that too but they asking 99 dollars up front in order for them to send that money to me... Im not so sure..

DO NOT CALL THEM BACK AND SEND ANY MONEY!!
I HAVE SENT THEM $100 THROUGH WESTERN UNION TO INDIA AND THEY STOPPED ANSWERING MY PHONE NEXT DAY AND $7000 GRANT NEVER CAME UNTIL THIS DAY!

The fedex was the carrier that would deliver the grant check but they never came. Before I sent the money I asked their address in DC and the supervisor told me the address is

200 Independence Ave. NW Washington DC

Everyone please do not be scammed by this. I had extra cash to test them out and they were fraud. They call themselves holy man and they had strong Indian accent and they are from Delhi India. The teller told me he believes in god and he has 6 years old daughter and if he does anything fraud in his life, he will be punished by God. He obviously put a god's name and his daughter up front for his honesty, but he is a horrific cold liar. I still can't even believe he destroys his nation's image like that... His name was Alex William but I hardly doubt that kind of name has strong Indian accent.

Do not send money to them. I did it to test out because I had some extra cash. There was one time a lady with a strong african american accent picked up the phone. She probably going to say it is for her African people. Do not fall for it!!!!

They will say "You will get $7000 grant once you make a payment of $99 through western union. You will receive the check within 15mins after payment has gone through" "The $99 is for donation for poor children in India(or Africa or Asia)"  

Again anyone who fell for this scam must report to local police office like I did.

Thanks for the heads up! I just got the same call from a supposed representative from the "US Government office of Grants". He asks me for banking information and credit card information but I told him that I would not release any of that information. He asked that I call back the 202-684-6582 number to claim my $7000 grant check right away.
Sounded very suspicious right from the start!

This is a scame!!!! please dont send them any money.

I am called everyday back to back by this number.

ppl, be careful,,   dont give credit card information.

They called me today and once they said a 7k grant I said "let me guess, all you need is my bank info to deposit it". He pause and replied no and just told me to call the 202 684 6582 number back with a confirmation number to get the money. The number he called me from was 365 214 7896, also strong Indian accent. Never fall for this kind of scam. If someone calls to ask you if you want money its a scam. Of course we all want money so if it was real, they would just send it.

I got a call today, a with a strong indian accent asked me to call 2026846582 to confirmation number NK124 to confirm, a guy answered he also had a strong indian accent, i was very close to be scamed and than i thought about and told him that wanted to speak to his mannager, another guy came on the phone with a stonge indian accent, than i thought why is everyone in wachington cant speak english, i told him to stop calling me and i didnt want the money and he can go give it to someone ealse. those [***] are such scamers they have no shame and the government should stop them.

someone with a strong indian accent called me this morning telling me of the 7K in grant money I could get - while he didn't ask me any important information like DOB or SS - he did tell me to call someone else at this number 202.684.6582 Alex Williams.  When I started questioning him on where he was calling from, what his address was, what his name was, as I was writing this ALEX WILLIAMS called me, when I started asking him for information like his address etc and telling him that the internet says this is a scam... he didn't hang up nor did he say anything - he stayed on long enough for us to get a tracking number on his phone (technology is fun) and they are based overseas.... THIS IS A SCAM!

The people just called me from a NEW NUMBER with the same offer, 4,746 dollars for a small one time $99 tax to be paid at the Western Union. he had my home address and said he was calling from california, but was with the federal government and based out or washington DC, he told me he couldn't give out the information of who had signed me up for a grant, only that a creditor had signed me up and he had reviewed my credit report . the NEW NUMBER is (518) 636-0270 and WILLIAM (HAJERDAJN) was who i spoke with.

I got same [***] call  Sounds like a foreigner.  Who would be stupid enough to fall for these [***]?

yes i got a call today they got my information from someone i quess this is a scam they are calling from glens falls new york 518-636-0270  please stop these people if they are scammers

I got the same call but the number I had to call back was 2026210929. I was asked to send $235 via western union then I will.receive my $7000 grant money in 45 minutes

These a**holes had me believing them for a second. I mean think about it, who doesn't want money right? Well they started up by saying I had been selected randomly in my district and that I qualified for a $7000 grant that would be tax free and I would be able to use for what ever I want such as starting up a small Business, to get out of debt, or even just put it in a savings account. So I was like great ok. Then they asked "how would you want us to send you the money? In a savings account checking account or a credit card?" I told them a credit card. They asked "would you like it on a VISA, MasterCard, or a Discovery Card and I told them VISA. So I was like great I'm going to have some extra cash right? Well I was wrong. Once that was done they said "alright sir what's your 16 digit code on your credit card" and I'm like "I don't have one....I thought you said you were going to send me the money on a card?" and they just kept on with "it is not secure" and all this other BS and so on. The point of the story is, don't fall for this scam. Listen to all the other people ho have gone through this and if somebody calls you asking for your info., don't give them any of your information.

I think our government needs to step up to the plate and back there words if this is coming from over seas it should be treated as an act of terrorism and should be dealt with swiftly and severely.

I was called by someone from phone number 213-543-0000. They claimed to be from a company representing a payday loan company. They said that I had defaulted on a $300 payday loan (couldn't tell me the exact name of the company, I "got" the loan from. He said that he was from the parent company and that I was going to be sued for the $300 plus court costs, if I didn't pay them right away. I told him that I hadn't taken out a $300 payday loan and that my bank account would prove it. He again threatened me with a lawsuit. Then I told him that he could talk to my lawyer about this non-existent loan. He again threatened me with a lawsuit and told me that he wasn't asking for any money right then. i told him that I knew that this was a scam. And that he wasn't getting a penny from me. He argued with me for a few more minutes, then hung up. I haven't heard anything since.

I have received a call today stating I am suppose to get $7491.00 of grant money that does not need to be paid back and they said there are no fees involved to get a grant because a grant should not cost money . Here is the pnone they called from   510-260-3915   .Please send me a email to typist1974@yahoo.com to find out to see if this is real.

I just recieved a call right now from 570-776-9659 telling me that I had been awarded $7000 grant and had been randomly picked along with 1500 other people for being a good tax payer. All I needed to do was take down the confirmation number and call his senior manager at 315-215-1684 and she would send the money. They asked how I wanted it and I said on a card. When I called her she knew my number, name and address. She told me that I needed to make a deposit of $269 which would be refundable and I would send this money through western union and then they would deposit this money on my card, all they needed was my account numbers. I immediately hung up. What creeps me out is that they had lots of my personal information. I will be watching my credit closely. Plus I found out online that grants are completely free; they require no deposits. There are grant writing companies that may require a fee for writing the grant request for you but that is it.

yes, I had receive a phone call from India and they wanted 165.00 wire to them in order to get 2,300 cash for myself, I was a fool for believing in them. I want my money back and they lie to me about wiring money to me that didn't come to me.

I received a call from these a*** holes as well.  They kept calling me  tellin me that I was selected to get at 9,200 grant to pay off bills and taxes, but I could not use it for gambling and alcohol.  I 'm thinkin to my self if its my money I'll spend it what the hell I want.  I know it's scam becuase they ask for me to send the money Western Union and $140.00 at that.  So I asked the lady why am I paying a processing fee for a grant that is suppose to be free.  They claiming some s*** about the bank being out of NY so that' why I had to pay $149.00 dollars.  The lady had the nerve to say that to prove that she is not lying she would refund my money back.  I reported this number and something needs to be done about this.  These people already had all my information.  Just imagine what else they can do with it.  I'm calling SSI to see about changing my SS#.
