You're an illiterate Liar & a Shill. You most likely don't have any friends and, if you do, none of them received a damn thing.
How can I tell this is true? Well, only illiterate scammers are ignorant enough to post "300$" or "7 grand". There are no government grants or loans that require a payment up-front. As a matter of fact, advance fee loans (or "grants") are illegal in the U.S.
That's the way it is. If some dim-witted Shill (like you) claims differently, they are liars. Always!  No Exceptions!  EVER!

Thanks Gunnar.  More than likely, he was one of the individuals making the calls.

You're more than welcome. I do love Shill hunting! Sadly, the latest crop has been dismally stupid. Oh well. I think that the ineptitude of the shills lately is an indicator that the foreign fraud industry is hurting. The smarter shills have "jumped ship".
Live Well.

You're probably the DUMBASS running this scam...yeah like I'm gonna believe that one....you gotta do better than that!!!!

I got a call on my cell phone from this number today, said he was "John Adams" from the U.S.Treasury, and that I had been selected to receive a grant.  English was definitely a 'second language', and his accent made it VERY difficult to understand what he was saying.  He knew my name, but had my address wrong.  He wanted me to give him my correct address....(NOT!!!).  I asked what HIS address was, he said "200 Independent Ave, So Washington  22021".

I hung up on him.
