202-618-9050

The number listed above call me And told me they were from the United States Government and I was randomly selected to receive a large sum of money. They asked me to purchase and activate a specific prepaid card for the sum of $200. They also said that after the purchase I would receive a nother large some of money and be reimbursed for the money I already spent.

Scam! The government doesn't randomly select people to give money to and even if they did (they don't!) you wouldn't have to pay to receive it.
And if a caller claims you're being given a grant, the same thing apples with the caveat you have to apply for a grant. But even then, you still don't have to pay to receive it.

I had a woman call me saying i got randomly selected. I need $200 from a specific card in walgreens.

I want to know if this is fraud

Government Grant Scam

I received a call from "U.S. Treasury Dept" saying I was eligible for $9000. grant, but to receive the money would have to pay a "one time lifetime security deposit of $250".

You can't be awarded a Grant if you did not apply for it. Its free to apply and free to receive one if awarded.

What is a grant scam?
The allure of so-called "free money" from the federal government has enabled scam artists to prey on people's hopes by promising access to grants – often for a fee. In reality, federal grants are rarely awarded to individuals seeking personal benefits, and applying for a grant is completely free.

Quick Facts about the Government Grant Process

• Government grant applications and information about them are free.
• The names of agencies and foundations that award grants are available for free at any public library or on the Internet.
• The only official access point for all federal grant-making agencies is www.grants.gov.
• There are no fees associated with applying for a government grant.
• ALL government grants involve an application process to carry out projects with a public purpose and are not intended for personal use.
• You will not be contacted by the government to make you pay for a grant.

So sad that they don't teach people how to read anymore.  It is no wonder no one learns anything.

I thought this call was a scam guess I was correct

They tried to get me to call him back on number bap is not a real number don't fall for it it's a scam federal government never ever gave anybody something free

Some women called me saying I could receive 9000 .but I'd like to know how they got my name and number.

I just hung up the phone with a woman telling me a was selected to get a 9,000 loan and to call 202-618-9050
Definitely a scam she did even have my last name correct.

Received call from woman claiming to be from US government and that I had been randomly selected to receive $5000 grant . She asked my age, if employed how did I want to receive the money by Western Union, Walgreens, Walmart?  She said as soon as I got off the line with her to call the number 202-618-9050 with grant #SN577 so they could verify that it was me and  she then asked for my zip code. Then she reminded me to call that number.  I called number and got a recording stating that number was busy and leave my cell number they would call me back.
Never received a  call

That's because she is a CROOK & has nothing to do with the government.  You need to apply for a grant.  This crook will want you to pay her first - ILLEGAL!

I read this before I called the 202 number. I told them I wasn't paying for a prepaid card and they hang up. I called them back and the guy answer and admitted he was a scam artist. We exchanged insults and he hung up again.

Was called by a woman said she was from the UNITED STATES TREASURER OFFICE and I was awarded  $9,000. Grant and all I had to do was call this number 202-618-9050 and confirm my information.   Well I didn't call. Because a few years ago I got a similar call the amount was for$10,000. Called department of treasurey and confirmed that the US government doesn't give Grant's away randomly or without an application. Anyone who gets the call beware it's a scam!

Thay called me from 202 618 9050 and told me I applied for a federal  grant and all I needed to do was call them and verify  so account  info then go get a card to electric transfer the $ to them on a no existing  card  and wanted 200$ put on this card thay allso called me and asked if I called them and thay said I had call this # for a free grant I had not called the # at that time but I sure did right after that and confronted the about  there scam and told them it was going to be reported to the authority's in this matter please do not fall victim  to this it is nothing but a scam if u cant verify  them and the company too dont do any with them it will be a scami if u do thank Randall neal have a great day

I figured it was a scam right off the bat....

I got a call from them and after paying them $600.00 they wanted another $999.00. I put them off until Monday so i could research them. One of the numbers i was given is in the new York Federal Reserve ban. Google 646 653 0461

They ask me to by a card at walgreen it will cost $200 and i will receive 9,200 in western union.
