A woman's voice with a thick accent called. She said she was from "The United States Government Grant Foundation" and I was to receive an award of $9,000, but she needed information from me. As Tiffany described above,the person had a thick accent and there was a very noisy office background. I told The caller I truthfully could not understand her. sshe then began again, repeating exactly word-for-word what she had previously said. I politely said I was concerned she was a "scam," and not from a government agency. I asked for a number where I could call her back to confirm. She then mechanically replied "This is a computer-generated call" and hung up. :-)
Isn't it a very serious federal offense to masquerade as a federal agent in order to commit fraud?

i just got a phone call from this number as well. what sounded like a middle eastern man asking for my elderly mother. i asked what the call was pertaining to and he responded government money. i informed him i was at my lawyers office and he can speak to him (lying i was at home) and he hung up the phone. it was also very noisy in the background i could hear wind blowing as well.

The guy sounded like a Middle East accent asked me who I was going to ask where he was going from the said something to do with government grant and then asked for my name and I told him who is going from many hung up

Got a text saying I had won 1 million USD and an email to respond to: pchdept2015@hotmail.com

You do know its a scam, right?

The scammer will ask for your banking information so he can put the money in your account.  But he won't put any money in your account.  He will take all of the money out of your account, then vanish.  You'll never get any of it back.

Congratulations on not falling for it.  And thanks for sharing. You may have helped keep his next victim from being scammed.
