They called about free us grant money that dont have to pay back he say his name gary wilson which maynot be true seems like a scams someone need to arrest these people serious

Us grant money scam say his name was gary wilson

First, a lady calls and confirms all you information & gives you a "confirmation number" and tell you to call Gary Wilson to confirm your funds being transferred. Gary Wilson has a heavy indian accent but this number being FROM Washington, DC...they still had me UNTIL they started requesting money! $210.00 as a processing fee. I asked, well...why can't you take the $210 out of my 7000 I'm going to be getting. "Gary" got rather upset and said call when you get to western union!! As hard as times are, I wish I would send someone 210.00 for the heck of it!! I may have missed out on 7000 (I doubt) but I'll take my chances this time!! These people are sick scammers!! BEWARE

Called with out of date information on where I lived figured by that background noise and their lack of website and full names that it was a scam... Unfortunate though since, $7000 would have been a nice gift... I'm also not a citizen sooo it didn't make that much sense for the US government to give me money!

I received a bogus call from a man name Jason Morre whom had an accent from India. He claimed to be calling from the US Treasury Dept and claimed he had a $7000.00 grant to give me. However, he did ask for my bank card but I did not give it to him and there is no other way to receive this money. So I said no thank you.............or provide an account number or prepaid card. Oh well I declined so forget the money.

BEWARE!!!   They called my teenage daughter and again told her she had a $7000 grant from the US Treasury.  The poor kid gave them her chkg acct #, I immediately told her to call her bank & close the acct.  I wish there was a way to get these jerks.

they just called my house fone and asked for information about my mom and we didnt fall for it it id not seem like they were being honest!

They called my sons girlfriineds mother saying he qualiified for a $7000 US grant.  Said she needed to send $210, she fell for it, and sent the money.  Then when she called to conifrm if the money was being transfered into her account, they said it was for a charity and asked for another $358, she scaped it up and sent that also.  They picked up both transferes from Western Union, one in 5 minutes, the other 8 minutes. Now my son is asking if I can help them with this.  I already know the money is long gone.  I wish there was a way to track these guys down!!!!  And suggestons??

They just called me saying I got a 7000$ grant and my bumba** gave them my checking account #.. what do I do?? Not that they will be about to any money out it because I only have 1$ in but still... What do I do?

Offered $7 grant, wanted $210 wired from Western Union for bank transfer fees.

I actually did this. I'm going through a bad divorsr so free money sounded amazing and I put my last 280 in to get it n it never came now I'm crying thinking how could.someone do this. Help please.  :'(

yeah I to got a call about this , i was told to call a elvis black,who should work for the united states treasuery,  the guy on the other end wanted my checking acct number, he got mad when I didnt give it to him. so I called this elvis black so far no answer. whoever is doing this needs to be arrested .

I also got the call. Gave them my closed debit card number.1 scammer to another . See what they do now.

I kind of knew it was a scam they said said they were from the US gov't. The gov't has been eating my lunch for years, now they want to give me money back. Yea right.

‘Free Government Grants’: Don’t Take Them For Grant-ed
“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.

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.
