Called Saying I Had Been  Selected To Receive A Government Grant Only Needed My My Bank Account Info Or Credit Card To Send Me 7,000.  Spoke Horrible English.  Seems Pretty Bogus

Things to believe:

• There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
• If it sounds (or looks) too good to be true, it probably is.
• You have not won big bucks from a benign benefactor, a pot of pesos from PCH, dinero from a doctor, a car from a caller, or a grant from a gracious government    ◄- ◄- ◄- ◄- ◄-
• The tooth fairy really does not exist
• Everything you read on the internet is not necessarily true.
• It is illegal to ask for money for a loan or prize, before awarding the loan or prize!
• "Free Trips" are loaded with mandatory & costly extras, and you usually must give them your card number after listening to a loooong spiel at a hotel.
• Microsoft or one of their agents did NOT cold call you to fix your computer.
• The moon is not made of green cheese.
• The IRS will snailmail you, rather than phone you, if there is a problem.
• Jackalope milk is not an aphrodisiac.
• If you "green dot", MoneyGram or Western Union money to a scammer, the money is gone.
• You should beware of Geeks bearing gifts, specially if the gift is a wooden horse with termites, or a statement that your computer is infected.
• 876 is NOT your lucky number, and it will cost you money to call that area code!

Got a call now feel silly
I did apply for a grant and stated that I had been selected to get money

I have been receiving phone call from (202) 243-0000 he stated I was chosen to receive $7,000.00 grant from Federal first he was asking for my bank account no. I said no I will not give my personal information to anybody. Then he gave me a reference ID# VM225 and call Tracy at (240)232-2113 to claim the grant.

I just received the same call from the same #. I was asked to call Tracy Ross.  Obviously, this is a scam.
