I first received a phone call from the number 202-657-6093 where a man told me that he worked for the us dept. of treasury. The man barely spoke English. He sounded either East Indian or Pilipino. He told me that the treasury department had 9 thousand dollars they wanted to give to me as a grant and I would not have to pay it back. He said his name was Nicky Thompson. Then he asked me how I wanted to receive my money: 1) direct deposit, 2) western union, or 3) visa or master card prepaid with the 9 thousand on the card?  I told him, visa card. He then took my address information.

He told me that I would need to call back with the "code" JM136 and speak with his supervisor. The phone number he gave me was 206-905-9254.  This number is not in Washington dc where the first call came from but rather the state of Washington. So I am writing to inform you that we have already written a letter to the fcc about this, and I am writing a letter to the BBB and to the us dept. of treasury.

Please investigate the people that are using this number for possible fraudulent activities and if needed, contact the FBI about this nationwide scam.  I do not believe it to be real.

Thank you, Julie Mc Laughlin
