Just received a call from 202-506-1967 saying my name and number had been selected to receive a $9000 federal grant. I spoke to a gentleman who claimed his name is "Oliver Hann" I searched the name and was unable to find it. He gave me the number 239-244-3962 and a confirmation number to call to the account manager's phone. Per the male caller his manager's name is Anna. I asked what kind of questions they would ask me when I called the number and he continued to repeat the activation number to me and insisted that I call today. I have learned from the past that if the government is going to send you money that wont call you, they will just deposit it, or send you a check with a government seal. It was a little surprising to me to get a number from the government that is not based in DC. I called the number he gave me and the first time it hung up on me, the second time I called it just keeps ringing. Complete scam. Beware of anyone who claims they are from the US Federal Grants Department.
