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.

They are men clearly from another country not United States and all they say is you have been qualified for government grants and when I say anything they hang up and if I call the number back it says This number cannot be completed as dialed.

Person you their supposed name, ID number, and contact information for you to call them back on parking lot before you get the activation card. He will guide you through the process.

Received a phone call saying I was randomly picked to receive a$9,000.00 free Government Grant, go to Wal-Mart, CVC, anywhere to get a Steam card for $100. Since I couldn't afford a $200 one. Wich Would give me $4,500 in my bank account.Lila Burns was my phone adviser on this prosses. Needless to say at the end I was denied this transaction. Call the Federal Reserve Bank and talked to a Mr.Black 318-600-8491 they wanted an extra$250.for money transfer. All in all i lost 100 dollars. I'm on S.S. such a same how they use people who are in financial trouble to start out with.I hope someone does something please

Received a call on my mobile phone at 12:14 p.m. from a 606-618-0041 number and the man introduced himself as Officer Steven Smith. He said he’s calling because the U.S. Government randomly picked my number from a national poll to grant a $9,200 financial assistant sum that is totally free to me. He told me I could choose to receive the money through a credit card, check or through a local Walmart cash center. He gave me a confirmation number #AJ329 code along with a contact number 502-209-7781 and repeatedly read off the numbers to me. He told me to immediately call the number he gave me and speak with his manager for further instructions on getting the cash in my hands. Repeated texted were sent to my mobile number when I did not follow through. 10 minutes later another man called from a different number 646-406-4159 and gave me the same speech but only offered $2,000 and this number 202-930-2372. He told me to call his manager for further instructions and use the same confirmation code I was given by the first caller. I’m reporting this to the BBB because I know scams are going on and I’m hoping this will help stop some of it. Thank you for existing BBB.

From messenger a friend told me they had so my name on a list she had just got $90,000 Grant from the government. She gave me the phone number to call the lady about the grant. I am not sure if my friends messenger got hacked or if she is in on it because she was always a shady kind of person anyway

Scammer called and told me that I was selected for a government grant on my work phone number. About 2 weeks ago I had these same calls, from different numbers, non-stop for 2 days. I finally entertained the jerk and he told me that I had to qualify and asked if I had a high school diploma or GED. I told him I didn't get past 6th grade and let him continue the conversation. After confirming multiple times that I didn't "qualify" for the "grant" I asked that he take my number off of his list. The calls finally stopped. So far this is the only call that I've received from this area code today.

I have been awarded a u.s.government grant for $9200. to be used however i wish. Was informed that i do not need to give my ss#

Call 718-514-7372 and give the grant # I was given. When I called that number they put me on hold. According to reverse phone directory the 718 number is in the Bronx and the 202 number is a bandwidth.
