Got a call posing as a US Gov agency...A Stephen Grey posed as an employee of the Federal Grants Dept. said I was awarded 7400 per yr for 5 yrs. I asked when I had applied for this and he responded with "you don't need to apply, we know who falls into the parameters according to a survey in 2014 ( I did no surveys in 2014). he then proceeded to give me  a case number and instructed me to call 206-905-1122....talk to acct mgr......I did not respond...this is a scam now posing as a government give away ...give me a break...what a bunch of  b........

Same situation as the others . Got it today 4/20/15. Not an american woman calling on behalf of federal  grants dept. Wants me to call back to phone number 206-905-1122. Surely a scam.

Got a call claiming $7900 xfor 5 years as a government grant.  Guys name was alex smith but could barely speak English? The website they gave me to verify lools legit(www.federalandstategrants.org) but when I called to claim grant my call was disconnected and now no one is answering. I know our government is not handing over money! I will be calling better business beareau tomorrow.

"The website they gave me to verify lools legit(www.federalandstategrants.org)..."

Oh, but it's not. Not even a little. That site is sketchy as hell. The icons at the bottom which would otherwise be secured links to the appropriate websites are just images (and not even the correct images), not links.
They're behind a proxy, which in this case, makes it sketchy. http://whois.domaintools.com/federalandstategrants.org

got my call today from Johnson brown. for a grant of 7900 for next 5 years kept asking how would I use the money. then gave this number and I called same thing how are you using the money. then I was ask how would like to get the money mail 2 days western union 1 hour my choice mail now I have fill out a form mail it back and it will take about 14 days. then I called back after looking the number on the internet and no answer.

Today,  May 11th 2015, the exactly same thing happened to me.

The exactly same thing happened today to me. Same person,  same instructions. Careful.... It's a false, fraud scam.

They offered a grant. I called back a few times an never got an answer. Find these ppl an prosecute them.

I was called and informed by Jim Berry saying that I was approved to receive a independent living grant for 7500.00 for the next 5 years because I pay my bills and taxes on time.  He told me that he was the account manager and call him back at 2029051122.  He gave the federal reserve website and it said nothing about the qualifications that he had stated to me on the website.

Received a call claiming I was being awarded a government grant for assisted living at $7400 a month for 5 years. The guys name was Antonio Smith but could barely speak English. He said I was selected based on a survey in 2013/2014 which included a background check to ensure citizenship and any possible legal trouble. He gave me a claim number and the number 206-905-1122. He said once our call was disconnected I was to call the number and speak with an Account Manager. At first I was amazed with call after applying for state grants but there was the one thing that stuck out as a legitimate scam I've fallen for in the past. Before we hung up he asked me "how are you going to use your money?" Although he did not ask for my personal info I have heard of these scams. So sorry but I know every grant requires an application. The State nor Federal government give away money. They are more focused on a six figure income than helping the American citizens.

I got a call me today 5/28/15 it is a scam
