253-237-1583

Person claiming to have money for me from the USA government. I would need to call this number back and provide bank account to receive $7000 cash deposit.

They tried calling me too and wanted a $200.00 payment to deposit it into a western union account.  I immediately told them that they were scammers and hung up.

We felt for it we gave him our money now we r in super deep hole we owe rent n we can't come up with it now to make things worse he comes along n take all our money now me n my wife bout to be homeless 😢😭

See:  http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/fake-government-grants-real-refunds

Total scam being run out of India, or Pakistan.

There is no grant.  Same goes for loans they offer.

Axiom:

If anyone with an Indian accent cold calls you and 1.  threatens you or 2.  offers you something, you know it's a scam and hang up immediately and block the call.

Corollary

Never wire  anyone money if you do not know them personally.

File a complaint with the FBI on their Internet Crime webpage     http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

They did the same thing to me.

A woman called  from (202) 414-7630 claiming they were the Federal government gray department told me to call (253)237-7676 to receive $7000

A woman called  from (202) 414-7630 claiming they were the Federal government gray department told me to call (253)237-7676 to receive $7000 they also said to go to a Walmart and put a payment for $300 and that they will refund it back with in 10 min something about an activation code they are scammers they wait at a Walmart money gram and take the money you send do not trust them they try doing it to me I stop the transaction and the money gram people gave my money back in cash she told me never send money to some one you don't know

They told me the same thing and I stop the transfer they told me to send 275.00 under name Jazmin Soto then they know where I live told me closest western union and all but God work in all ways I spell the name wrong and cancel transfer

The same thing happened to me. I wish that I would've read these messages before I sent my $300 to a person I didn't know.

They said they was with the federal government and they did a survey and 1700 people where selected for this grant of 7000 didn't say anything about going to Walmart just said to call this 253 237 7676 number and gave me an ID code and told me to talk to a person named Alvin Park and said something about Western union It was kind of hard to understand him but I wrote everything down and I'm slowly picking through it all

Lol they tried to tell me to load 300 dollars on a i tune gift card and give them the activation code.

They called me from this number claiming they were from the federal gov money grand

LOL!!  They called me and said I needed a voucher of $399.00  and I would get my $7000. I told them I don't have $399 at all and he told me well then you can't get your grant money. I said oh well. Keep it!!! It was never mine anyways!!! And hung up the phone and now they are blocked!!  SCAMMERS!!!!   First of all your in AMERICA learn to speak this language correctly!!!

They told me I was approved for a grant that I had recently applied for in the amount of 7,000 dollars. After I assured them that they had the wrong number, the continued to call. After about the third call, I answered requesting to be put on the blocked list. Some guy began to get irrate and began to get volgure with me and threatened to put my personal information on a pornographic website. He also left several messages using an unbelievable amount of vulgarity. What can I do? Who do I call when my life us being threatened by a stranger that has my phone number and who knows what else? How will innocent people who fall victim to similar scenarios be protected?

I had a person call first from this # 2025625525 then they told me to call 2532377676 . The first time I called I called private & they told me that I couldn't call private cause those where d rules. Then d second time I called. I told them I had looked up this number & that I was a scam so they hung up on me. So I called again &  the line was busy.

I do not want to be called by this group of people any more. If I did not call their firm for a loan, I do NOT want them to call me to offer me one. I have chosen the companies that I desire to transact financial business with. Thank you.

I also got this deal and just called to claim it

I also got a ca from thia number. The man on the phone was very brief. He told me he will be sending 7,000 to my home address. I did not have to provide anything but my address and did not hav to pay any money. I guess ill see in 2 days if its real but i dont think it is

Total scam.  There is no grant/loan.  Ignore and block the calls. DO NOT WIRE THEM ANY MONEY!
