I was curious and actually called- he gave me the number because I refused to give him my information.
Was told to go to my nearest Western Union, and from their phone call the same number, with the access code, and I would receive my $5,000.
Only thing is, you have to apply to a government grant in order to receive one.

I get the call on my cell phone from a number 1-111-111-1111 all day and night. I finally get somebody to respond on the other end and he said he is from the US Grants Department and wants to give me my money. He keeps saying the same thing over and over and asking questions. I decided to ask him some questions myself. He gave me a number and a code to return his call. (206)201-2560 was the call back number he gave me. I called it back and their was a recording for me to leave a message with my number and they will get back to me. I told him to remove my number from the call list and he said he cant cause it is from the goverment! How do i get them to stop calling me?

Yeah... same as all the rest on this page...
This is the SECOND time in a week I got a call such as this. Now, I know that we have a lot of diversity in the US...but the level of English language BUTCHERY on the other end of the line would NEVER stand up to domestic phone communication standards! Something THIS important (IF legit!) would not be delegated to an ESL drop-out!

ANyway... the number I was told to call was (is currently) (202)  241-2937

the number they were calling from was 202-666-1040

Government and especially IRS does not call only by mail will they intact you. Never would they call on phone just a scam to get your info. Hang up and report
