I called back the number they told me; there was a man that answered this time asking for the Grant ID they provided earlier, and had my name already.  They said I would have to deposit $250 first as registration in order to receive the $9,200 so that my "state department doesn't view it as illegal."  I asked why can't they just send me the check, and then provide instructions on registration.  He said they can't do that, I have to pay first.. so I said not interested.  He said okay thank you for your time.   I guess at least he was polite about it. ha.
