Received this bogus call tonight telling me that I'm eligible for a $9,000 grant.  I had to just call this number 253-256-1228.  When I called I was told it was the Treasury Department. Free personal grant that is randomly selected.  EK304 was the confirmation number.  I just had to see where it was going.  He put me on hold and said he was pulling my file.  I gave him the incorrect spelling of my name and my maiden name.  It would be interesting exactly what he would find...

He said he had my file and that with my confirmation number I could receive $9000. I am receiving, every year the gov't conducts a survey and they've selected 1700 citizens who completed their taxes on time and never filed for bankruptcy.  I'm eligible!  Whoohoo!  This is a once in a lifetime, lucky!  This is my grant opportunity.  I can receive it cash at western union or into a direct deposit.  I selected cash!  Money Gram in Walmart or Western Union he asked?  I said Walmart.  He asked which State and that he could have it sent to Walmart.  He put me on hold to get me a notification of where he was going to send it and my notification.  He had to get an email in 2-3 minutes will give me a notification by today or not.  The gov't doesn't want me to misuse it, I need to keep receipts to show what I used the money for.  And I need to use it for renovations, new home, education, starting small business etc.  There will be an inspection at the end of the year by the Federal Grant Higher Authority.  No one can apply for it.  

My notification says that my grant money will be processed at Walmart under my name today!  Since it's now been submitted, the State IRS and PPI - Payment Protection Insurance Dept. I have to pay my state tax beforehand.  I am asking to put down a refundable security department of a refundable $250.

I spoke with Henri x301.

Glad you were not scammed!

Things to believe:

• There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
• If it sounds (or looks) too good to be true, it probably is.
• You have not won big bucks from a benign benefactor, a pot of pesos from PCH, dinero from a doctor, or a grant from a gracious government    <<<<<<<<<<<<
• The tooth fairy really does not exist
• Everything you read on the internet is not necessarily true.
• It is illegal to ask for money for a loan or prize, before awarding the loan or prize!
• "Free Trips" are loaded with mandatory & costly extras, and you usually must give them your card number after listening to a loooong spiel at a hotel.
• Microsoft or one of their agents did NOT cold call you to fix your computer.
• The moon is not made of green cheese.
• The IRS will snailmail you, rather than phone you, if there is a problem.
• Jackalope milk is not an aphrodisiac.
• If you "green dot", MoneyGram or Western Union money to a scammer, the money is gone.
• You should beware of Greeks bearing gifts, specially if the gift is a wooden horse with termites.
• The 876 area code is NOT your lucky number, and does cost money to call it!

My son got a call from this no 253-256-1128. They told him that I should call the number.  I was told 'am eligible for a government grant for $ 9000.00 but I have to put up a $250.00 deposit first to cover my state taxes but I have to pay it first to collect the money from western union. It sounds too good to be true.
