I got a call from one of these numbers and the person was talking so fast that I barely understood what he was saying....we was on the phone for probably 10 he stated that this money was totally free I had to pay nothing back and that this was a one in a life time thing and said that I had to receive the money threw money gram or threw my bank account....also hr stated that in order for me to gwt y money that I was going to have to go and get 3 itune cards and load 2 of them with $100 each and the last with $50 and call h back so he could process my money I asked him why would I have to send money if I won money he said that it was for security purposes

Just received my grant money phone call for 9000. 1:45 on Thursday 8/2. Exact same details and b.s. pitch. I was surprised in reading some posts how far back it goes. My # to call is 2026008766. "If it sounds to good to be true it isnt". I googled and danm if it wasn't a scam. Will report to proper authorities.

Suspected scam
I was told to call 2026817796  with the claim # BS1005

They may have a new number now. I got the call from 202407610. I got two calls from this number. Both times, it was a woman with a heavy accent with lots of noises in the background. The first one told me I won $7000+ in grant for a loyal citizen award. She said she worked at the verification center for the US grant department and every year they give this grant to 1500 people randomly selected from a survey. I told her I would not be giving my bank information and she said that's fine. She wanted me to go to walmart, dollar store, cvs to get my money. I assumed she wanted me to buy a gift card and put a certain amount on it, so she could take my money. She had my name and my address right, but while I was talking to her I looked up the "loyal citizen award" grant and saw all these posts about it being a scam. She asked for my age and I asked why she didn't have that information. She told me it's not in her database.

LOL! The US GOVERNMENT doesn't have my age in their database??? I told her my age, but promptly told her that she would have to send me a document in the mail to prove it was legit. Then she hung up. The second time, another woman with a thicker accent that couldn't pronounce my name right called from the same number. She said her name was Christine. I just said "Oh, this is the scam." She acted like she didn't hear what I said, so I repeated it louder. "SCAM! This is a SCAM!" and then she hung up. LOL. Don't fall for this guys. If the government has money for you, they will send you a check in the mail.

Sorry. The full number was 202-407-6710

>> The full number was 202-407-6710 <<

So you posted your "sighting" in a thread reserved for 202-499-1489 because the numbers were so similar?

where it belongs?

Call from 202-721-9742 regarding me loyal citizen thus chosen as Loyalty grant winner. I can  pic up 7k from western union via money graM, Grant code confirmation #  to give when I call to speak to Sam adams at 253-204-7900

same motive different number... I was selected for 9000.00 government grant but was asked to purchase a apple itunes gift card for 250.00 first then i would receive additional info on how to receive the money... his English was not good and he gave me a num for my account manager 914-355-9728 i spoke with miller ext. 211... also not very good english

I got a call from 202-745-2222 and it was some man with an Indian accent really trying his hardest to speak English stating He was an employee working for the federal reserve in Washington D.C., So I let him difficulty explain a little more until I finally said,"No thanks!" The man got upset and mocked my "No thanks" like a childish child and then he said, "[***] you!" I laughed before saying "Nice try!" and then I hung up. :-)

Haha I got the same call with Bali wood music playing in the back. Haha

That's coming from the same place mine was. I looked on my phone and it did say Washington DC so I don't know

I received a phone call from Washington DC
202-350-0969
And 202-215-7187
Sounded authentic when I asked questions I was ASSURED it was true. How many people do we know who have done this and received their money? I was also told I have to send 200 for a moneygram but I'm to call first after I have the money. My boyfriend says yes there are free grants out there

I just did a lookup on the numbers and they seem to be legit. They did come Washington DC.

So if you accept the grant money and it turns out to be a scam, do you have to pay it back?

You WILL NOT BE GETTING ANY MONEY!!!!!..  There is NO grant - You will be asked to pay THEM first - against the law.

There are grants out there BUT you need to apply for them!

I didn't think it sounded too good to be true

Doesn't matter: MJG is right-you are NOT called or emailed out of the blue about these kind of things!

Thank you so much
