That story doesn't fly in any state. The whole point of a grant application is to receive money, not pay it. Grants are not made with advance fees and they are not handed out like candy to random persons who never applied for one.

They called me 3 times today it was the same person twice then a girl. After I pointed out it was the 3rd call I received from the same number the girl got cocky so I cursed her out and hung up.. We should be worrying about what's going on in our country instead we're getting harassed by these [***]

Stop calling my number. I have gotten 3 calls today from this number

Just got a call from this lady saying I was picked for a grant of $7000.00. I said yea your number doesn't look like a government number and I don't trust it and she said... if you don't want the money I'm not forcing you and hung up.. first off she's lucky I could understand her with her foreign accent. SCAM!
