- Gunnar replies to SCOTT| 2 repliesSorry "SCOTT", you've failed. You're a CHEAT & a LIAR! You see "SCOTT", the US government doesn't call people about grants & they certainly don't supply them to scamming frauds who are sitting in foul call centers in India. That would be people like YOU "SCOTT"!
Now go back to trying to SCAM people on the 'phone "SCOTT". You're nowhere near bright enough to be a SHILL on this site!
Skeff Ett Liv!
Gunnar - JustinCase replies to SCOTTYou received no such thing. Not legal to pay fees for prizes, grants, and loans. Where's this outfit from, I bet we could all use $9000. You're a shill and can expect to be jumped on soon.

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0113-government-grant-scams - BigA replies to SCOTT| 7 repliesNow,now "Scott" There is no way you have the intelligence to fill out all that paper work to get a grant. There is no way you have the intelligence to actually have a valid reason for the government to give you a grant. There is no way you have the intelligence to earn $250 without stealing it. There is no way you have the intelligence to be loyal to anyone, as a matter of fact I would bet that if you and your boss were arrested for stealing you would be the first to take the deal and rat him out.
So the bottom line here "Scott" is that you are simply another stupid, uneducated, low caste loser from Pakistan who lives in a cave. - SCOTT replies to BigA| 2 repliesI do understant your concern guys,,in this 21st century there is lots and lotz of fruad call and private bussiness going around,,but in my case i got a grant on 11 january 2016 with the amount of $9000.i am here not to convince you guyz but i am letting you know that i am getting a grant from the federal government...

“Because you pay your income taxes on time, you have been awarded a free $12,500 government grant! To get your grant, simply give us your checking account information, and we will direct-deposit the grant into your bank account!”
Sometimes, it’s an ad that claims you will qualify to receive a “free grant” to pay for education costs, home repairs, home business expenses, or unpaid bills. Other times, it’s a phone call supposedly from a “government” agency or some other organization with an official sounding name. In either case, the claim is the same: your application for a grant is guaranteed to be accepted, and you’ll never have to pay the money back.
But the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, says that “money for nothing” grant offers usually are scams, whether you see them in your local paper or a national magazine, or hear about them on the phone.
Some scam artists advertise “free grants” in the classifieds, inviting readers to call a toll-free number for more information. Others are more bold: they call you out of the blue. They lie about where they’re calling from, or they claim legitimacy using an official-sounding name like the “Federal Grants Administration.” They may ask you some basic questions to determine if you “qualify” to receive a grant. FTC attorneys say calls and come-ons for free money invariably are rip offs.
Grant scammers generally follow a script: they congratulate you on your eligibility, then ask for your checking account information so they can “deposit your grant directly into your account,” or cover a one-time “processing fee.” The caller may even reassure you that you can get a refund if you’re not satisfied. In fact, you’ll never see the grant they promise; they will disappear with your money.
The FTC says following a few basic rules can keep consumers from losing money to these “government grant” scams:
Don’t give out your bank account information to anyone you don’t know. Scammers pressure people to divulge their bank account information so that they can steal the money in the account. Always keep your bank account information confidential. Don’t share it unless you are familiar with the company and know why the information is necessary.
Don’t pay any money for a “free” government grant. If you have to pay money to claim a “free” government grant, it isn’t really free. A real government agency won’t ask you to pay a processing fee for a grant that you have already been awarded — or to pay for a list of grant-making institutions. 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.
Look-alikes aren’t the real thing. Just because the caller says he’s from the “Federal Grants Administration” doesn’t mean that he is. There is no such government agency. Take a moment to check the blue pages in your telephone directory to bear out your hunch — or not.
Phone numbers can deceive. Some con artists use Internet technology to disguise their area code in caller ID systems. Although it may look like they’re calling from Washington, DC, they could be calling from anywhere in the world.

File a complaint with the FTC. If you think you may have been a victim of a government grant scam, file a complaint with the FTC online, or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft, and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. - Elspeth replies to SCOTTNope - as per the information I posted above - this is a scam. And you're not convincing anyone of anything - other than the fact you're a shill.
- Elspeth replies to SCOTT| 2 repliesYes - so sad that you continue to shill for this known scam!
