The government has chosen 800 people every year if you pay your bills on time and got good credit. I will receive $9000 for doing such a good job. I did not stay on the phone long enough to see if they expected me to pay something. I knew it was a scam because the Government don't call you to give away money.

It began with a new message from Messanger on Facebook. I thought I was talking to my aunt. The message kept asking me questions about a government grant program. I became suspicious when I was repeatedly asked if I had received information about the grant program. It was the allegation government program. I had never heard of it and asked for an explanation of what it was. There was no explanation, so I went online and found out it was a scam.

This company contacted me and told me i was gonna recieve 14thousand dollars from the government .she stated i qualified for this grant because i had a clean profile which i didnt understand .i stated to her that i did have a criminal record which she said i did not ..i gave her my drivers licence number and mailing address after i asked her if it was a scam ...she was defensive and insisted it was not so i was placed on hold for a grant manager ..in my mind i knew something was amiss so i hung up and called a number she gave me ...the number that she called from and the number she gave me were both non existant..she called back and i told her niether number existed and she got upset so i told her i would report her to the fbi and she has not called back

They called me and said because I have paid all my taxes and bills on time the Government is giving me $9500. I need to go to Walmart and pick up a registration card for $250. As soon as I do that, I need to call 315-517-4020 to confirm.

I then hung up.

I have been contacted a few dozen times over the last few days from different number. Each time with the same pitch about winning a $9000 grant. Each time by a middle eastern person with a very heavy accent. After wasting their time on a few occasions i was told that i would be killed, that i was a disgrace to my family, and that my children would burn in ***l. The attached image is one of 7 screenshots from my call log to show the volume of calls i have recieved in the last three days.

Voicemail was left on my phone by an automated message that stated: Please call me urgent on same number (518-312-4916) to collect your grant.

I've never applied for any grant in the past 7 years.

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.....
