call about a gov grant dept saying i have been picked to recieve a gov grant up to $30,000 left msg and i called back i think its a scam idk tho?

Did you apply for a grant?  If not its definately a scam.  

The way the scam works, the scammer will ask for $$$ from you to pay an application fee or a processing fee or taxes in advance or anything else they can think of that makes you give them money.  Then they will vanish.  You won't get a grant and you'll never your money.

HAS ANYONE RECIEVED ANY MONEY FROM THE LADY OR MAN WHO IS PROMISING TO SEND THIS MONEY? I AM GOING TO PURSUE THIS AND I AM GOING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS! I AM GONNA TAKE THIS TO THE AUTHORITIES AND TO THE COURT AND I WILL SEE THESE PEOPLE FACE TO FACE! CUZ NOT ONLY DID THEY DO THIS TO ME BUT TO A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH FAMILIES!! ALL I HAD WAS WHAT I SENT AND NOW I DONT HAVE NOTHING TO HAVE FOR MY 4 KIDS!!!!!!!! ALL I CAN SAY IS KARMA KARMA KARMA!!!! WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND 10x's WORSE.  I WILL SEE U IN COURT!!!!!!!!!!! DONNA JOSEPH

I got the same call today! Please never give out your personal info! I told them if its gov they can send me a check! but they told me , ok I guess u dont want your money...xaaaaaa, it is 100% scam!

Ok here's what had happened. T kept getting calls from a woman asking for "Shirly", T finally listened to what they had to say... Fri, Day 1. (Michael Rogers calling from 305-702-0483 in the so called "Application Dept") says T's ph# has been selected in a random selection but you can apply on line also at (www.usagovermentgrants.org) to get up $30K-$50K in Free gov grant money from the US Gov. You dont need to pay anything to get it & don't have to pay it back. The only personal inf given was the last 4# SS# & bank acct# (both are useless without complete ss# & permission to deposit or withdraw from acct so that part was covered.) They said by 10:00 am the next morning (Sat) the money would be in the acct. Mean while we investigated SS# search process's & online bank safety protocol as well as talked about how everything said on the phone ultimately could not be proven. I ("L") kept calling back Michael asking commonsense questions to get positive confirmation that it was real, Michael could not give me any answers that made any since at all, it got deeper & deeper. He even transferred me to a woman who gave me a legit Gov address in Miami Fl., but still that doesn't prove anything!

About 9:am T gets a call from Donna (713-481-4668) from the so called "process dept" which sounds like the same woman i talked to yesterday when i asked for more info proving who they were... Donna says that T has no criminal record, & her credit was about average/good 600 or so (which we know is impossible to check without all 9 digits.) So she would have to send $5K by Western Union & the $25K would go to her acct later. Which we know also a Dep is also impossible w/o prior approval from T. It goes on.... Donna gives a handy list of WU locations in our area to go to, to give away the needed deposit & says $300.00 is needed for a deposit from T because of her credit but the day before she said no credit check was needed??? Anyway she goes on to say $300 is split up into charges of this & that bla bla bla.... because the US Gov does not send the money right away & this is to cover there charges of sending it to T ahead of time from they're bank as a favor to T... Im like "Really? Thats so nice of them"  Im listening next to the phone as she's telling T the charge details of bullshyt.

I Get on the phone after a return call.... she tells T that the $300 is going to help the people in the Haiti relief fund. But not 5 min ago the $300 was because of this & that charge... Finally i had enough after disrespect of my peoples from another mother trying to get sympathy on a non related issue.... that was the END OF IT! I told her nothing she's said carried any factual weight & dont call back. I tried calling the FBI & federal trade commission to report the issue but....... THEY WERE CLOSED.
T called the bank on G.P. anyway to see if a deposit was made in her acct at 10:15, Do i really  need to tell you what it was?

FBI Miami: 813-253-1000
FBI Los Angeles: 310-996-5000
FTC-Federal Trade Commission: 310-824-4300 & 1877-382-4357

In the end of it all if you have to give any funds in any way at all, no matter how small it is it's a scam!!!

watch out for this number also 315-939-5269 from federal reserve bank....

Stupid person call me with 315- 939-5269 John smith . Calling from New York. Watch out for this phone. I don't know about how people are like to cheep ding . Remember if you lie some one money, one day you going to be a slave of them. Life in America was scaring life. I wish people who like to stole someone $ like him will die a soon as possible. This is special prayer for John smith that who call be to give home my bank account and receive money from federal grant.
