646-257-3748

This was suppost to be the Federal Reserve Bank in DC. I have tried calling but always get a busy signal

I was told it was a bank as well and I  paided $600 dollars and no grant

Don't ever ever ever EVER accept a call from this number. They say that they're the Federal Reserve Bank located in NY. They're not. It's a scam. The bank number is actually a 212 area code, not 646 area code.

This is scam. Someone need to do something about this asap... legal actions is needed..

i paid $136.00 western union to cover wire transfer costs...never received any money.
they have my bank 411?
did you report this, if so how?

id like to report this however, don't know what steps to take? perhaps we should all file a report together?

contact the FBI and file a report

Can someone tell me how people can do this to people at there time of need . something needs to be done these people have all of my infomation also how could i be so stupid. just trying to give my kids a christmas and its gone crazy can someone call me with any information that you shall have about this and what can i do .  334-354-5210

there is also another number that they are using 202-470-2476 has anyone gotten intouch with anyone about this matter. the money was sent to Tram Ngoc ho. Im very sick at this point.163.00

I was called by this number numorus times and was told I had won a free Government Grant. I sent them first 150.00 dollars for fees and then another 500.00 like a dumb a--s to a Thi-Nguyen Khuyen in Vietnam I am disabled and needed a few extra dollars to help with x-mas..Please do not send these people any money...I am afraid they have all my 411 And now I received another call today from a 202-738-1811 saying a won another grant I told them to stop calling me and hung up..About an hour later I received a call from a 214-702-5314 saying I accepted money from them and I was going to jail for reporting a false fraud...They started questioning me about my info and when i gave them none they got upset so I hung up..My advice to everyone is to report this asap, I called Social security and put a watch on my ss# Close your bank accounts and also go to alerts.equifax.com and National Fraud information Center 1-800-269-0271 I hope this helps someone..Please make sure to report this so no one else gets scammed.. Thanks

I also sent 150.00 by western union  to a "TRINH THIPHAM"IN vietnam, was told same thing about a free Government Grant, then after I sent the 150.this jerry Goodman  #12024700753   told  me I had to call his boss to verify it.   .. talked to 3 people that day told me to call a man named PETER at a bank phone # 1-646-257-3784.and he wanted $500.told him NO WAY...I talked to this jerry goodman, he set up for the wester union and told me to call this peter. some people are so very ignorant. I reported it to my local police department that day. I FEEL LIKE SUCH A DUMMY FOR FALLING FOR IT..     THANK YOU.

I wish I would've saw this [***] before they took my 440 for this scamming ass [***] this scamming [***] gotta stop

The same thing happen to my brother. He sent $143.00 to this group in the hopes of receiving $9,000 in a federal grant, and he is a college student. So you really don't think much when they said federal grant. My brother has been going through a lot and this money really could have helped him and his little girl and he sent his last to them. However, I started to put the pieces together when he wanted the money to be sent to a person and not an organization. Sadly, I was to late and the money is gone. This was a real blow to my brother. How do they even get our numbers to do something so evil? However, I called them back and acted as if i was someone sending money in. They tried to get me to do it then i went the [***] off. This is something that should not be happening.

Federal Grants do not use the Federal Reserve we go directly through the US Treasury Dept.

If you are contacted in an unsolicited e-mail claiming that you have funds on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or have information regarding this fraud please contact Robert Amenta, Senior Special Investigator at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He can be reached at the following e-mail address:report.fraud@ny.frb.org

As a Federal Grants Specialist these are the questions that need to be asked:

What is the grant announcement # in Grants.gov
         All grants paid through the Fed Gov't are held on this website
Ask them what their CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) # is it should be in the format of XX.XXX
         All Federal Grants must have a CFDA # to be tracked
         Check www.cfda.gov
Ask under what laws & regulations in the Federal Register are for this grant
          Each grant has laws and regulations they must go by and all are found in the Federal Register

PLEASE REMEMBER: ALL FEDERALLY AWARDED GRANTS MUST HAVE AND REPORT TO ALL THESE SOURCES.

Hope this helps in the future

did u get your money bak???

did the police do somethin about it??

These people contacted my husband. They have gone through the extent of even emailing my husband an picture of of an $50000 check (grant). unfortunitly, they received $2232. They went through the process of even contacting IRS and Western Union, while on the phone, with my husband. We were given the name Peter and Jim Marshal. They use Email address m.manager4@aol.com. We have filed an report with the Federal Reserve Bank Fraud hot line and state police. I am not going to stop to find justice. These people are taking from innocent children and families. I pray for them to seek God and change their ways! I know they will never escape judgement from God. These men need to be put to justice, Thankyou to all the others, who have posted under this site; and I am soo sorry, for your loss!! I wish, I would have thought about looking the phone number up, before my husband continued to take action. Everyone who has fell victim to these men, should also report to the Western Union fraud. We had to western union money to Costa Rica four times. The transaction names on western union transactions were ELIZABETH VARGAS PEREZ, ALEXANDER ROMERO CORTES, YANNETH SANDI BRENES, and JULETA SANCHEZ ALFARO. There is obviously more then just an few people involved. I was thinking a whole family is associated  with this. I will continue to pray for these men to be caught and pray to find additional options to pursue justice. I question the thought of morale conscience of these men???? God will seek justice. Please help in continual prayer to bring these people to justice. We need to save other families, from these people. Like, I said, they depleted our complete tax refund of $2322. We are struggling in this economy, and are from from rich!! This amount of money,( they took from us), will desperately hurt our family, financially. My 3yr old daughter and 13 year old daughter, should not have to suffer from these greedy people. No exaggeration, my daughter has holes in her shoes and my tags are expired on my car. I pray these people, truely needed the money, more then my own children. I have to believe, God will provide for my family. Please HELP to put these people to justice!! They are becoming more greedy, and taking larger amounts of money. They need to be stopped. God bless, all of you, who have reported these men!! I will be praying that God will provide for all of you too.

Please report this to the Federal Reserve Bank fraud hotline. The # is 6466725000. Report to WESTERN UNION, they will direct your call to their fraud report hotline. Also report your claim to state police.

We have also received calls from the phone #2024703504. This phone # is in the same association with the 6462573748. My husband was receiving phone calls from both phone #s.
