I got the same call from an unknown number he claimed his name was william jones I knew he wasnt a william jones because he had an Indian accent he told me that I was selected for a free government grant of 7000 and when I told him how did u get a hold of me he had all my information like my address and my phone number he asked me if I wanted to recurve my money through my bank account I said no send me the check he told me I had to call this number 202-621-0925 with a confirmation number when I called I asked where he was located and his address and I even asked is this a scam the indian guy flipped out on me and started saying all this crap so I hung up this is not the first time I want to know how to report them

Got a call from a 517 area code. Thick Indian accent. Pretty much the same story. I asked him to recite the pledge of allegiance to verify he was with the government. LOL! It was epic. He couldn't do it!

They called me with that same scam, however I gave them a P.O.Box # and incorrect DOB. I used a prepaid debit card I got in the mail that haven't been activated. They gave me a number to call back and confirm with a manger @ 802-348-1037, I tried calling but no answer. Jokes on them.

I just received a phone call today...did not give them any personal info, so they said I could get it western union.  I had to call a Ryan Smit back, who had a heavy Indian accent.  I need to help the starving children in Pakistan for $210.00, and then I'll get my $7000.00. While he was ramblin on, I looked this up as a scam and hung up in the middle of him talking. I already knew it was a scam, but amazed at how many people they have tried to scam thus far.  The first guy said I am receivin this cuz I have always paid my taxes on time, and haven't filed bankrupt within the last 6 mos...um...yes, I have.  Bankruptcy was jus charged off....Please do not igive these people any any info at all!!!!

what the hellll......I woke up to this indian guy calling me, saying the same damn thing.

anyone have to call a "Stacey Rose" ? haha wow. I asked both if it was a scam, and Alex and stacey said "No ma'am you're getting $7000 from the government.

Im on the phone with the [***] right now

I got a call from 202-502-7560 about this.  I hung up when he yelled at me when I wouldn't give him my age.  ameyo was on my caller ID.  I was sure this was a scam.

I received a call this morning, saying I was awarded a $7000.00 grant, from the US. Department of Grants (once in life time). I  asked the guy what was the catch ne replied none and reported the same infromation back to me. Then he needed a credit card number to deposit the money into and give me another number to call to confirm my grant eligilbilty. I called them and they wanted me to wire $350.00 to U.S Government Grant Dept, that's when I new I had been scammed. I immediatley called my credit card company and told them what I had done and they cnacelled my credit card and are going to send me another one. I didn't have any money on it anyway, so I figured they could not take anything from me. The number they told to wire the money to was 202-684-6772 and they also told me not to mention what the transaction was about to Western Union. The two names they gave me were Mark Kin and Zani Taylor. They also give a code to confirm my grant after I called the other number. These scammers sound like they are from India and if they are in America and we find them they should go to jail and then deported back to India if that's not where they are calling from.

Same story, but I wasn't that smart because I confirmed my address and also I told him my DOB. Is that too much information that I gave him access to?

A phone scam saying the US Federal Reserve is handing out $7,000 of grant money to selected
persons with good credit, who have paid their taxes and have no criminal history. Basic information
is requested (public info like name, address, age, marital status). Asks for bank info to wire the
money, but I asked for a check so they said I could pick it up at the nearest Western Union. Then
asked me to call another number 202-436-9001 and give them my code "CM125" to receive the
money within 2-3 hours. Woman had a thick foreign accent and seems to good to be true.

I keep getting call...but my caller id only shows it as 202-559-667.  Anyone else get this kind of call, I didn't answer and they left no message.

Got the same call today. 1st from a man w a heavy accent calling from Sierra Vista, AZ  from #
520-458-7790. He gave me a conf. # and a woman's name of Janet Morris for me to call at 202-640-5495
In order to receice this so call grant, I was to bring to the Western Union $310. She would stay on the phone w me n within 15min, I would get cash of $7000. Yea! The govt giving me money. I gave the info to the police. Hope they catch them

I want them to call me back, i have so many things i want to say to them, the last guy who called hung up on me. :-(

you cant they are stationed in india and pacistan.

they use a forwarding call service that call you randomly when a line opens up, they promps the forener on a computer screen with the name of the person the computer called, you can tell because when some of them call there connection gets off and then you can hear a dial tone and the phone starts rigning on their end.

whoever set it up for them in the states can be prosecuted however, and whatever company sold our information the the F*ck tards who are doing this can be prosecuted.

i would hate to be the company that gets caught selling this info, the CEO would be thrown in jail for about 20 years, and the company would have to pay punitive damages banck rupting the company.

pretty sure the Government doesnt use western union, HAHAHA - the use money mart, HAHAHA

Are f*cks just plain stupid?

I was skeptical about the $7000 thing but gave them my information anyways no money though since im that broke just [***] errything man.

Happened to me today, got a hidden call fro a christy who's voice sounded American, then gave me the number (202)657-6183, along with a confirmation number aj703, since I'm not a citizen, I can be only eligible if I'm a student which was right so I felt blessed (in fact I was stupid, they're professionals' scamers they say you should use the money only for education, medication, paying bills, or renovating the house. As soon as she said you need a one time processing fee I was stunned and knew what it was about, but felt very upset. I said I need to think about it and hung up. When I read all the comments here, I called back and told the guy who answered , you should be a shamed to use peoples'informations to fool them, he said if you don't believe me I can come over, I said ok let's do that, then he said you have to pay my flight ticket then, it's ridiculus when you think about it. Although most of people believe in the American dream, and fell for theses kind of scams. BEWARE

I received one too, Indian guys, real funny my boss is indian so they couldnt fool me, but i said ok western union it, if its free money why do i  have to pay  to get it, thwey have been calling me  none stop his name was Ryan. I looked it up too the address they gave me does not even come out all others around it though. anyways the number they called me from was 202-621-0436 and also 000-000-0000. Thats what my phone said. Be carefull it sounds good but its not real.
