is this a scam, they said it is a government grant

Yes  it is a scam.  Common grant/loan scam.  There is no grant or loan.  They will ask for a fee wired to them untraceable.  Then you never hear from them again.  At least under the same phony name.

Just received a call at 1:07 PM EST from 202-287-9622. The caller was in conversation as I said hello repeatedly. They proceeded with their spiel that sounded odd to me about my name and number coming up to receive a grant from the government. So I asked him if he had a website and he started stuttering then ultimately said no, I heard him use the word creditor or something in his intro but I asked to have my number removed from the call list and I could hear him trying to continue talking to me saying "no". Yeah I'm sure its a scam I wish I knew how to report it in more depth than this comment.

Here are two pages of links to (mostly government) sites in Canada and the USA where you can report phone scams/spams, or learn more about them.

First, look elsewhere on this site for an Article, entitled "Where to Report Phone Crime".  (It may appear in the column to your right).

For a more frequently updated list of complaint sites, with links to government web pages, look here:
