I got a call from an unknown number and I was told I was going to  receive $7,000. He was Indian and when he verified or tried to verify my zip code it was incorrect. then he asked for my account info or a debit card number. and I told him I wasn't comfortable giving that information so he just acted like he was fine with it and said you don't have to so then you have a nice day, then i proceeded to ask him more information, call back number, address, web site.

He gave me
818-287-7990
grant app # DK315
www.federalgrants.gov That didn't even come up when i looked for it. It asked if I meant .com
200 independence south west 20219

I recieved a call from James Allen. Telephone number 270-205-4316 Ext-106
He said that I was chosen for a government grant of 7,000. All I needed to do was go to the nearest Western Union with Id, cell phone and 213.00 for the register fee and I would recieve the money back within 5mins! THIS IS A TOTAL SCAM! IM GLAD I CALLED THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION FIRST!! When I called the number back it was a Cash Advance place.

I just got a call from some Indian guyby the name James Allen number 2024369100  saying I was awarded federal grant because I paid my taxes and bills on time the all is had to do was go to western union and send them 250 dollars. And in 3 or 4 minutes they would send me  a wire transfer for 7750.00 and that the 250 wasn't a charge or anything they Just needed to see if. It was really me or going up the money . And that I could use it any way I wanted except illegal uses  gambling or drugs .

I received a call from a "Miichael Sazuki" stating that I had been selected to receive $7,000 in grants monies to pay off bills, do home repair, etc.  I gave him a prepaid card number (that doesn't work)because he said they needed to deposit the monies in savings, checking, debit card, or a prepaid card.  When I asked for an address to the corporate office and a valid phone number, he gave me the following:  Grants Department, 200 Building SW Avenue, Washington, DC 20201, Human Health Services Department, 202-621-5429.  He then proceded to give me a grants confirmation number ML704.  He told me to call "Johnny Snow" at 215-392-2168.  So I called Johnny and gave him my confirmation number.  When Johnny told me I needed to go to the store and put $330 on a "green dot" card, I began to question whether or not this was valid and when I mentioned the Better Business Bureau, Johnny immediately disconnected the call.  I tried calling back a couple of times, and I keep getting a busy signal.  Go Figure!!!  People stop the scamming!!  

I received a phone call telling me I had been selected to receive a $7,000 grant because I had a good record, no bankruptcies and it was free, never needed to be repaid.  They said they were the US Government Grant Dept. and they told me my Grant ID # was DB3302 and within 5 minutes to call back at 202 -470-6830 to speak to the supervisor and he would do the rest of the process with me.  I didn't call back because I wanted to research the address he gave me at 200 Independence  Ave. Southwest HHH Building in Washington DC.  which it turns out is a real address.  The guy spoke with a distinct Indian accent and it just sounded like a scam to me.  He called me back about ten minutes after I hung up from his first phone call to ask me why I hadn't called the supervisor yet.  I told him I was too busy right now and he said well they only worked until 6pm to be sure to call before then.
