These people called me today saying I won $9200.00 from the government as a grant that I didn't have to pay back... They wanted me to go down to money gram and pay $300.00, and supposedly recieved back $9500.00. They called private and gave me a number of 202-738-1502 to call right back. When I called I didn't understand any thing they were saying as before on the previous call. But now they spoke great English when telling me when and how to send the money. I really need to know with whom to talk to to stop these people from scamming people. Everyone work hard for their money to just give it away.....

I just got that same exact call.

People call me say Grant for $9,200.00$  ask me send $400. Don't tell nobody didn't fall he name was Elizabeth Nash
