I too received a phone call on my cell first by a blocked number from a David, no last name. Also asked me for my bank account number or a Debit card number so they could transfer the $6,000.00 into my bank account.. NO WAY was I going to give out that information, so they offered the Western Union way, also telling me I had to pay $150.00 to Western Union, fill out a form and then I would receive $6,150.00 back. I had a gut feeling this was a scam, I'm so glad I "googled" the phone number of 206-201-2309 first and saw all of these postings. Same as listed above, these two so called "men" had Middle Eastern Accents, and I could hardly understand the first caller David. Nick the call back guy, was a little easier to understand, but still had an accent as well. He did offer to put my grant money on hold until I could come up with the $150.00, I told him I didn't have $150.00 right now. So he said to call him back whenever I got the money together and then he would transfer the money to me via Western Union.
