360-205-3655

Called with asian dialect stated I was being awarded $6,000 by the Federal Government. The award was due to my payment of taxes, etc.  The caller directed me to call 360-205-3655 and ask for Jennie Wilson. The caller provided a reference code of three letters and the number 3.   I disengaged the call when the caller refused to answer questions.  

Person said they were from the US Grant Department. They hung up when I called and asked additional questions.

I got the same call. I wish it's true.as poor as I am.

As per the Federal Grants website at http://www.grants.gov

YOU WILL NOT BE CONTACTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO OFFER YOU A GRANT.
The government does not contact people to offer them money. If you do qualify for a government grant, the government does not request payment for it.

THERE ARE NO FEES ASSOCIATED WITH APPLYING FOR A GOVERNMENT GRANT.
Providing financial information to prove that you qualify for a government grant is typical, but you should never pay money to apply for a grant. People who run scams often claim to provide help and sometimes claim to be "federal government" officials, don't be fooled by these scams that request money from you.

ALL GOVERNMENT GRANTS INVOLVE AN APPLICATION PROCESS
If you have not submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it's a scam. Grant money is not given over the phone for a fee. In order to qualify for a grant you must apply for the specific opportunity that you are qualified to apply for.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS ARE AWARDED FOR EXPLICIT OPPORTUNITIES
Government Grants are typically awarded to states, cities, educational institutions, nonprofits and other organizations to fund research and other projects.

GOVERNMENT GRANT APPLICATIONS AND INFORMATION IS FREE
Be cautious of offers that ask for your personal information (especially financial) when requesting a fee to access grant information. You can always access free information about government grants and other benefits at Grants.gov and Govbenefits.gov

Yupp, it's a scam for sure !!  I talked to Jenny Willson her self and I started to ask questions..  then I just told her I know it was a scam and she hung up !!  Darn..  What a [***] !!!!  I called to Police and they are on there way..  It's a Wa. number and anyone up in Bellingham should be on the look out...

Received call from person saying eligible for government grant $6700 W.K # 467 with supervisor name of Jenny Wilson 360-205-3655. Wanted debit and or  checking account number to deposit funds into. This is a scam. The federal government does not call you and say they owe you money and want your account number to deposit funds into.

they ask you to send money. do not send money.

I thought it was real. I gave them my prepaid card number..wished i didn't. I ended up refusing. I don't think i should have to send them money to release what is "mine" Glad to be able to come here for insight. Ppl are a mess i tell ya

They are calling me from a TX # (210) 215-6445. Telling me that I received $6,400 and some odd number grant money, And asked me if I wanted to put it on a debit card in my checking account credit card or send it by mail. I told them let's send it by mail. So they Gave me another # (360) 205-3655 And this Jenny Wilson To contact you right away So she can get my check mailed to me within 24 to 48 hours. I know it's a scam. I didn't call this Jenny Wilson. I just wanted to post this and the other phone number from Texas. To let everyone know what's going on. Be careful.
