They called me and said I have 9200 dollars  as a grant  from Washington  then they ask me to pay the taxes on it like 500 and something dollars

Ignore - there is NO grant---just a thief trying to steal your money!

Just got a call telling me that I am one out of 1500 Missouri resident that qualifies to recieve Government Grant of $9,200.00, being a good paying citizen: timely paid bills and taxes/ no trouble from the law. IT IS one time grant opportunity in a lifetime and nonpayable and tax free. In exchange I have to go to the nearest Western Union and and and send my $352.00  for.  state to state    transfer fee, and that I have to do it now as soon as we hang up.

They are not scam or frauds ...i really receive the loyalty benefit from them of $8700 they told me to pay $426 for the registration ,first i thought its too gud to be true but then me and my wife thought to give it a try ,and here we are with the money from the govt.
THANKS TO THE GOVT .

Rubbish...

Grant scammers generally follow a script: they congratulate you on your eligibility, then ask for your checking account information so they can “deposit your grant directly into your account,” or cover a one-time “processing fee.” The caller may even reassure you that you can get a refund if you’re not satisfied. In fact, you’ll never see the grant they promise; they will disappear with your money.

The FTC says following a few basic rules can keep consumers from losing money to these “government grant” scams:

Don’t give out your bank account information to anyone you don’t know. Scammers pressure people to divulge their bank account information so that they can steal the money in the account. Always keep your bank account information confidential. Don’t share it unless you are familiar with the company and know why the information is necessary.

Don’t pay any money for a “free” government grant. If you have to pay money to claim a “free” government grant, it isn’t really free. A real government agency won’t ask you to pay a processing fee for a grant that you have already been awarded — or to pay for a list of grant-making institutions. The names of agencies and foundations that award grants are available for free at any public library or on the Internet. The only official access point for all federal grant-making agencies is www.grants.gov.

Look-alikes aren’t the real thing. Just because the caller says he’s from the “Federal Grants Administration” doesn’t mean that he is. There is no such government agency. Take a moment to check the blue pages in your telephone directory to bear out your hunch — or not.

Phone numbers can deceive. Some con artists use Internet technology to disguise their area code in caller ID systems. Although it may look like they’re calling from Washington, DC, they could be calling from anywhere in the world.

Take control of the calls you receive. If you want to reduce the number of telemarketing calls you receive, place your telephone number on the National Do Not Call Registry.

File a complaint with the FTC. If you think you may have been a victim of a government grant scam, file a complaint with the FTC online, or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft, and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

The government sends checks. Looks to me Jesus is in on this little scam.

If you got paid either your lying or your one of the scammers! There is no way this could be true,

They are full of [***]. They  took money from a single mother who has two kids a 7 year old and a 6month old.now I have no money to buy diapers or formula.

Received a call stating that they are calling from the government and that i've won a grant of $9,200.00 from the US government. BUT, i will need to register and pay a fee of $300.00 for taxes and what nots....before they can Western Union me the the money...all scam. Please public, put these individuals in their place while on the phone with them and don't let them scam you. My caller was supposedly named Shirley calling from 000.000.0000, then she gave me this number 206.745.0758 ext, 147, to contact her directly after i insisted that she give me her number and xtension, just in case I had further questions...lmfao!!!

Same here! Same Name AND number.

I received a call from these same people a couple of months ago and now they calling me back today they must have forgotten what I said. The last time they called me talking about  free grant money but I have to pay a fee of$295.00 please stop the B.S and get y'all self a real job and stop trying to scam people out their money.  Don't do to other people things you wouldn't do to yourself

Same thing except I haven't been asked to pay anything yet. I haven't called back either.

These people just scammed my husband out of 565.00$!!!! When we call back they start yelling and cursing at us like we did something wrong! These people are sick!
