Type of a scam Government Grant

I received a phonecall from a lady I could barely understand saying I was given a government grant for $8,500. They gave me a confirmation number and callback number and a name, Adrian Hayes. Sounds like a scam to me, as I never applied for a grant and it is never that easy.

Type of a scam Government Grant

The scammer told me I won a grant for 7,000 dollars. Because I didn’t have a criminal record etc. I won the grant. He gave me a confirmation number and phone number to call back. I was told to go to the nearest cvs, Walgreens, or Walmart and then to call the number. I had to do it right after the call that very moment. I said thank you and ended the call once I took the information.

I'm attaching the whole conversation. They were using someones Instagram account that I know personally so I'm not sure if she is involved or if they hacked into her account. They said that I qualified for the grant but I had to send money for ups to deliver it. They wanted me to send anywhere from 500 to 15000 dollars. Here is the text conversation that we had.

Thick foreign accent, said I qualified for a $9000 grant. I hung up before they had a chance to try to take money. I just filed another claim a few minutes ago with phone number 2006550000, which was a type-o. This was actually 2026550000 that I am reporting now. I apologize for the mistake. 2025555868 called earlier today. I didn't answer that call but I'm suspecting it to be from the same source.

This guy by the name of "Brian Dasler" has called my cell phone many times. I finally went along with him to get more info from him before they hang up. He said that the Federal Government has issued me a grant for $8500, it doesn't have to be paid back, and that I need to go down to the nearest Wal-greens, CVS or Wal-Mart as fast as possible. He also gave me a code number of CO22H. I call the number back just to see what they say, a lady named "Melissa Williams" says once I get into the parking lot of walgreens to call her back and she will tell me what to do. I have told these people to stop calling me probably 20 times. enough is enough

Type of a scam Government Grant

Last week I got a call from Steve Mike saying that I had a federal government grant in my name and I could the amount depending on how much I could pay for the insurance and processing fees (he said there would be no taxes). I picked the $100,000 grant and was instructed to pay $500.00 by Amazon gift cards and then another $200. I then got a text saying I needed to pay another $800. I told them I thought I was being scammed and he send me a picture of a UPS truck that they said held my winnings. I then told them I had no more money to pay them and called BBB.

I knew it was a scam, i asked what I need to pay, they said nothing (until later) I gave dl#, i was given a grant ID number and transferred to a manager, he gave me his full name, Aaron Miller, and a phone number with an extension. I was asked how would I spend the $14,566.and was told it can't be used for anything illegal. And then I was asked for a bank or card number to put the funds in. I gave a prepaid credit card number I don't use and haven't in over a year and then I was asked how long will it take me to get to a western union to send $350 after I fill out the application, and that's when I hung up. And he tried calling me back a few times already..... Besides the broken English it was a elaborate soqunding scam. I don't want anyone else to fall for it. Said his name was Aaron Miller and # is 2028669083 ext 2041 government badge number AM154 in Nij. the numbers initially calling were 5697885124

I received a call from a someone with a heavy accent, claiming to be with the federal government in Washington DC. They claimed that I committed tax fraud and they would be here to arrest me within 24 hours. It sounded like a recording and not a real person. They requested that I call back on 302 956 3497 which is the same number they called from. I understand this is a scam but wanted to warn others.

She was asked her full name, email address - then how much money you want for the grant and she picked $50,000 and within

24 hours she recd the money from UPS. The person who said she was my friend tried to get me to talk with an agent but I have not contacted

the agent. However, I never really contacted my true friend - I was skeptical and called the BBB.
