I received a message on Facebook from who I thought was a family member at first just asking how I was. As the conversation went on, the scammer asked if I had heard the good news. I asked what news and they proceed to tell me about this grant that would help with low income families on the rent or mortgage payments for 1 year. When I asked what to do to qualify I was given a phone number to call 806-464-0206. When I called there was no answer but they immediately sent a text back. They asked if I was trying to qualify and I answered yes. He said his name was Robert J Murphy and that he could help get me started. They then started asking for personal information such as an address, phone number etc.. When I realized it was a scam, I told him that I knew this wasn't real and that I would be reporting this. He then sent a message back and threatened to kill my son at his home address if I did not finish giving them my information. I immediately blocked the phone number and reported it to the police.

Person who hacked my friend's Facebook Messenger told me about some great news, when I asked what person says "I got $200,000 from the Government Grants Program they are helping the Working Age,Retired,Disabled and Old in the Community with Cash" "I think you should contact their claiming agent now on their page before the programme closed. Do you know how to do that?" I say no, so they say "So All you have to do is to text this number *** that your friend lead you to this grant and you want to know if you are entitled to their grant." When I say I don't text, they tell me to go to this website: ***   I didn't click on it but said my virus software wouldn't let me go on that site. They're still trying to find a way to get me to go along with this. I was hoping there was a way for a legitimate authority to catch them in the act

I got a phone call today from a woman, she said I was approved for a government grant of $6900, because I don't owe taxes, and never had a felony. She gave me her ID number and a number to call her back 240-345-0183. She said she was at 900 Rockville Pike, MD. She transferred me to Antonio Williams. He said he was with the government, badge number AW1998. He asked for my dob and license number, and I gave them my date of birth and license plate number he told me to go to Walmart and buy a Go Bank card for $400.00. They say they will give me a government grant. I told them they were scammers. They called me back and said I abused them. I'm a single mother and scamming people like me is pitiful.

I have received quite a few phone call's within two day's so far. Some times it's a woman but most of the time it's men telling me I have been picked to receive free grant money. They go on to tell me they are calling from Washington, DC and they are with the Federal Government Grant Department. As soon as they ask me if I have any questions for them, I say "Yes I do" then they ask me "Ok What Is Your Question?".. That's when I say "I know that Grant's don't call people, so I know your a scam." And most of the time they hang up right after I say that. Now at one point I did tell them to remove my number from there list and to stop calling me but so far they have not.....

I got a text saying I was eligible for a govt grant. They want $500 to get $50,000 grant. They asked my income, age, married or single. I told them I didn't have $500, and I was skeptical. They told me to go to 2 different places and buy iTune gift cards, scratch off the back and take a picture of it, and I would get my money by UPS within 7 hours. They asked if I wanted cash or check. They keep texting me. They got a picture of my house from the internet because I gave them my house number. I am on disability. They were making it look like texts were coming from my cousin's phone. They were talking like they were my cousin, saying it was ok to do this. I was on Facebook, and they hacked in when I was looking at my nieces Facebook page. They had a list of form letters.

Received two phone calls in the last week. Both were women. They both said that I qualify for government grant money in the amount of $9000.00 that I don’t have to pay back. The first one wanted my checking account number or debit card number. The second one told me to call 360-209-8793 and give them the government grant number UG559. I did so, the man said that I could receive the deposit into my bank account or by certified check, but I must wire him $200.00 first for registration fee. One of them told me to shut up and hung up on me.

I got a Facebook message from my friend a couple of days ago I hadn't talked to her in forever. She texted me and asked if I had heard the good news that she had gotten $250,000 from a grant and that she saw my name on the list. She gave me a number to call. I texted the number and was told that I should go buy gift cards. When I got the number I was to call him and he would tell me what to do. He said the government had money left over from 2009-2010. My fiance told me to check w/BBB who told me it was a scam.

Got a call from a man stating I won a government grant of $9500.00 on a recording, call him back at 469-854-4862.  Tried calling him back at that number and it just rings.  This Friday morning they call me saying, Yes! I won $9500.00 and they wanted me to give him my bankl account number.  That sound kind of fishy to me so, I told him, I would call him back.  Then I call the ScamPulse.com to found out how true that was.

I received multiple calls 5 to 30 minutes apart for several days. The callers had a strong a dialect representative of a foreigner. Caller(s) claimed that I was eligible for a government grant. They had basic information like my name and were trying to get me to disclose personal information. I hung up each time and they continued to call. I have provided all of the numbers that the scammers used. The calls have finally ceased.
