Have been receiving calls from 202-407-9159 for a couple of weeks now.  We never answer calls from numbers we don't know.  This time they left a message saying the IRS was filing a lawsuit against us and to call them back at 202-738-4400.  Comments for number 202-738-4400 show it is a scam.  They want you to send them money.

my sister got this call - it's a scam

I was getting missed called, but never a message.  I got a call today and the person said that I received a grant.  They had my name, address and cell number.  They told me I needed to call 315-675-5164.

I keep getting calls from foreign speaking people saying all kinds of different thing, I received a $7,000 grant from the United States and the U.S. Treasury because every year they select  a certain demographic, by name and phone number. The could not give me a real website or any information only insisted I return a call to the senior advisor at 202-407-9159, they called from 202-400-0000, earlier that day I got 2 foreign callers from 352-325-7809. I am getting so tired of getting these scam callers. He said his name was Mike Harris, the address he was calling from he said was 200 Independence SW Ave, Washington, DC, 20201.

Received a call from this number at 1:42 on Monday May 18. Caller ID says it is from DC, USA. The caller had a very thick accent and told me I had won a grant from the US government. He said he was calling from the US Government Grants Department and that every year many hundreds of people receive grants administered by the Human Health Services Department. He stressed that I should call 315-675-5164 immediately with an approval number that he gave me. He said they would take my bank info and deposit the "grant" into my account OR I could receive my money at any Walmart or MoneyGram location. Both of these numbers have been reported before.
