same happened to me. I played with him long time questioning about the grant. I also asked about what information they had, told me that I was from NM and I told him that I was from NY then started yelling the F word.

This person called me and said i was approved a government grant of about 7000 and it could only be directly deposited to my bank so he kept asking for my information. I declined. I asked my school to confirm and this is a scam.

Hi the same scenario just happened to me about 30 seconds ago. Im wondering if you could tell me if you found out any further details about where they could have found out our name and address from? I'm usually careful about which websites I put my phone number and address on so I'm a little creeped out. Please just let me know if you found out how they got your information! Thanks!

I just got a call from them saying the same thing I just hung up. That's a scam if I ever saw one

I made what I thought was a job application and have been receiving calls from random numbers trying to sell me loans for education and the like.  This was another in a long line of calls from that mistake.  This was a heavily accented man that asked for Joe.
