202-777-4441

I get a call from this number at least 3 times a week.  I pick up and there is silence and then I get disconnected.

Same as Kay Kenyan get a call pick up n disconnected

This number keeps calling my home asking for people that don't live here.  When I try to let them know, I get disconnected right away.  That's really annoying, Get a Life and a new job!

I just began getting one of these each day on my mobile phone. I'll look through the forum to get rid of them (hopefully).

I just got a call from them. They asked for me and then hung up.

I got a call from them and they gave me a check for $2500 from some auction house!

I get 1-3 calls from this number every weekday. I answer, there's silence, then a small beep and I'm disconnected. This has been happening for the last couple of weeks.

I tried calling these mofos back and the line just beeps, doesn't ring at all.  I'm going to pretend to be whoever it is they're asking for next time and see where that takes me.

i recieved a phone call about 10 miinutes ago stating i was approved for a government grant. they said thy will put it on a pre-paid card i had just recently recieved in the mail. the card has not been used so we'll see what happens. they state it will hit my card in 45mins...

Scam alert! I was told this was the US government stating that 15,000 people a year are rewarded with grants from the government to use toward education, home repairs and the such. They stated that as long I was not 'using this money for drugs', they would transfer $8400 to my 'plastic card'. I gave them an inactive card I randomly received in the mail a few days ago. This was a pre-paid card. They asked what I was going to use the money for and told them for school. They wished me luck and told me to call Janet Berry at 202-905-0702. She answered the phone right away and asked for my grant #. I gave her the GN452 and she asked my first name. I gave it to her and she put me on hold "while I look up your file" after about 5 mins I hung up and reported it to the authorities!

Just  got a call. Been getting them for months. Wth! I don't even answer.

I just got the same thing and they asked me for a 210.00 processing fee in order for me to get the money. this is bs and I think a scam, i dnt know??

Of course it's a scam.  Read all about it on the FTC website:

Caller stated, I could receive $8400 for use on, bills, education, Rx, home improvement, no drugs or xXx. He asked, what i use the funds for? I stated, home repair. Like he documented that. The needed my bank account# to transfer the funds or put them on plastic (visa/mc) card (Beware moment).  Hmmm. I googled them while I had the caller on the phone, the closest web page I found was "Premier", a pay deposit repair your credit CC. Premeir usuaslly charges some outrageous 1 time processing fee and a reoccurring ridiculous annual fee.  Both fees devour the meger CC limit extended to you. I hate this crap!

I just got a phone call from this number saying I was randomly selected by the government to receieve a $6,000 grant to help towards school or to pay off debt. They said I wouldn't have to pay it back. I kept telling her I hadn't heard of the grant and I asked her the name of it and she just kept saying she was from the government. She asked for an account number a few times, but I told her I didn't want to give her my bank info over the phone, so I asked if they could just send a check. She said it's a bank-to-bank grant. So I asked her to call back and looked it up. I found a fraud alert on grants.gov (official site of government grants) saying "Fraud Alert: If you have been contacted by someone seeking your bank account or other personal information in order to process a government grant that you did not apply for, Submit A Complaint [EXIT Disclaimer] with the Federal Trade Commission." Must be fake, I doubt she'll call back.

Do not call me on my cell phone I have filed with the NYPD police about your calls stop now !!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got a phone call from the same number stated above. He stated that he was calling from the US Treasury Department and that I was selected to receive some grant money. When I asked him how he got my number, he replyed that I was randomly selected. Well then, "How do I know this is not a fraud?" he seemed annoyed by my question and hang up on me. When I dialed back the phone number, it gave me a busy signal, I am guessing he was using land line.

They just keep hanging up

Wow. Just wow... An AMAZING conversation. "Max"  from WashingTONE (his pronunciation) (via New Delhi) offered the same scam. I offered to give him all the info he needed re:my bank, & then send it to HIS bank for all his hard work. I just needed his banking info. He was not amused.

WHY do these things still exist? Are there that many suckers still walking the Earth?

I got the call  with same crap message. Ignore this number...
