I havent even paid 5600 worth of taxes since I have been in the work force. claims to be with the US gov and wants to verify address then asks for your CC# to deposit the funds. Definite scam...the dude has a hardcore accent and when i didnt giv emy CC# he hung up, I called back and he answered "hello" then when he realized he said "is this <my name>, i am <forgot his "name"> with us gov" I told him not to call my number anymore, then he hung up in my face, I am calling my local fruad dept.

a guy claim to be John Wilson with US Goverment Grant and with a heavy thick indian accents says that I am eligible for a 5000 grant. He wants me to give him my credit card number and I say back off you scammer. He also claims that it is located in Spokane, Washington, when I notice that the area code is from Ferndale,WA. Be alert with this [***] scammer people.Reported this number to the fraud organization.

Listen don't believe these so called government employees.  They are absolute scammers.  The took my niece for $300 indicating that she would receive $5600.00 once she sent them $300 needless to say to this day she never received a dime.  I think is crazy how this could be done to people at christmas time especially with the economy the way it is.  My niece lost is a widow with two small children and she can't see how she can make christmas happen for them after this.  Please, Please report these people should they try and scam you.
