I received an call from an unlisted number that said I was a recipiant of a US grant for a total of $6700 as well. I was asked my name and mailing address. Then told to call back a supervisor at 202-738-4280 and give them a grant approval #ST105. That's when the female tried to get my banking information and I said no! Then she wanted me to give them a cash deposit at a Western Union today of $290, that was going to be refunded. I again said no! I can't verify that you work for the US government. I'm retired from the military and I know all about verifications of callers and such. I'm no idiot. Of course once I started asking for her information to verify who she was she said that she was going to remove me from the list and hung up the phone. That's when I searched bing and saw this same phone number pop up as a scam...go figure!!
