They claim to be a bank that will issue you free grant money with a $200 wiring fee that will be refunded back to you.

Just received a phone call from an unkonwn number to my cell phone. The lady stated that i was picked to receive a 7,000 free grant. She gave me a confirmation number along with phone number 206-462-5153 to call to receive the grant. I call the number given,  another lady answered, i gave her the confirmation number, she tells me to hold on while she retrives my file. Then the phone hangs up... I call the number back and as i thought,  it was busy...

They called me at least 4 times in the past two days. I ignored it the first time, thinking it was one of my friends, it's says "No Caller ID" when they called me again, I answered and they said the US Government wants to give me a 7000 grant and blah blah blah. Well I can't block the caller since they have it blocked, I have no clue what to do. He knew my name, and my address, asked if I was single or married, and my age. I'm creeped out.

Same thing happened to me. Had a confirmation # and asked me to verify somethings. What brought a red flag was that they wanted me to buy a card called green dot money pack and in that card to add $200 to keep the minimum and with this card it was to register me for something I really didn't understand. I believe its a total SCAM! Same questions applied to me.

Received a phone call that I am entitled to a $7,000.00 gov grant from phone number (206)462-5153. How can I find out if this is legitimate ?

Revived the same call.

Its a fraud... Anyone who tells you that you have to purchase a Money card to get money is not Real... This happened to me about a year ago and I ended up spending almost $700 in a green dot money card and didnt recieve any money back.. They will use the card to get your money that you spent off of the card... DONT FALL FOR IT!! Please

I just got a call from an unknown number and it was the same thing. Said she was from the US Government and waned to give me a $7000 grant. She knew my name, address, everything. Gave me a number to call back and a code to give. I immediately goggled the number and it brought me here. I figured it was a scam I'm just wondering how she got all my information. I didn't bother calling the number she gave me.

I also received a call from this number just 2 days ago First it was a male who called numerous times which I finally answered and  he hanged up then a then a Lady called me  she said i was entitled to a 7000 grant money but had to buy a green dot moneypak and keep $200 in it which I found weird I told her I was at college and could not do it at the moment she rudely said so what do  want me to do with your money I hanged up and decided to look for this number on the internet I searched this page WWW.phonevalidator com which I found this;
Phone type: Landline
Location: Seattle, Wa
Phone Company: Possible Skype, Vonage or other  VOIP phone
Carrier: level 3
I also downloaded a call recorder and true caller id & block apps.
I'm 18 I was kinda exited because it could've been money to help me pay for college supplies but then it seemed to good to be true I hope none of this happens to anyone else. Remember you should not have to pay for something you have won

I have received 2 calls telling me to call the number in question stating that I was to receive $7,000 dollars in grant funds from the Government. The incoming call was listed as "Unknown" the first time then "Private" the second time. The man on the end of the line kept repeating the word "government" as though it was supposed to silence all suspicions about the call. The man on the other end of the line did not speak English well and had a very thick Hispanic accent. I did not call the number in question nor did I confirm the call since I had a feeling that the number was a hoax. I wanted to know if anyone else has received this call and the confirmation number MM521.

Read Tamianth's notes above.  It's a total scam originating in India.  There is no grant, they want upfront fees payable by Green dot money pak which is untraceable.
