Government Grant Scams
Although government grant scams have been around almost as long as the government itself, the majority of the sites being advertised today didn't exist before the November 2008 election.

‘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.

7185026928
igave them my debit card info yesterday. i was really happy bc i am in debt. call them back today in he stated i had to pay 300.00 to recieve 10,000.00 western union. and then i will recieve the other 40,000 in my account. than i decided to look up this phone #. i am so  disappointed. what should i do.

I received a call today saying I got approved for a government grant it was a middle eastern man with a heavy accent. He dosent work alone,  he said I needed to pay 300 at western union for taxes & then ill receive my 40000. I traced the number to be a cell phone, gosh so sad to know we are full of compulsive liars especially when they are not a legal residence :(the number that you need to watch out for is 718-502-6928

I got the exact same phone call from a girl named Ashley Johnson except for she was calling from 201-793-8040 and that I was accepted for a 50,000 grant. Than a Cecilia called me from a 214-329-0109 saying that I had to go to Western Union and pay $350 to some National Disaster Fund before I could recieve the $8,350 in a grant that was sent in a money transfer and the rest of $42,000 of my grant would be at Bank of America. I was so stupid and gave them my card information and everything. I found out it was a scam today and canceled my card thankfully I didn't have any money on it for them to take away from. That would have horrible when I am already living check to check with my son.
DONT DO IT, ITS A SCAM AND IF YOU DID MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET YOUR IDENTITY TAKEN.

A woman called from 201-793-8040 stating her name was Ashley Johnson. She said she works with the Government Grant Department. She got my name from the National Credit Bureau. She asked for my address and last four digits of my Drivers ID. She said they are located in Trenton,NJ. She stated they can use any card. Any person in the house. I stated I didn't have any of my credit cards with me. I will call her back later. She was adament about receiving a credit card information. Told her I will get a card from the store and allow them to make the deposit. She insist it would not take the $50,000 deposit. Too bad. Please be prayerful about speaking with these people and giving them information. There are times you just have to hang up the phone.

A 312 445 9024 is a scam, stron indian accent, from freegovgrants

i also recieved a call from ashley johnson for a 50,000 dollar grant but it was in trenton nj. when i looked up the po box she gave me it matched with the council of the arts so i knew this could not be right. this number was 732-847-2955. but this number matched with new brunswick nj. please be careful

I received a call from Ashley Johnson with a Indian accent talking fast like a used car salesman. using the # 732-847-2955 asking too much info so I hung up on her she wanted me to call her back which I will not and I will block her # on my phone. Scam another take on the Nigerian scam that every nationality is pull online, Craigslist.org flooded with them and they are buying people phone #s etc and calling people.

Got a call,heavy Indian woman approved 50,000 grant money .she Hung up on me when I asked many ?. The number I got was 707-574-4216 pulse India, its a scam
