Initially, the first caller a woman called from 456-482-9563 in unclear English and stated that they were offering government grant. She had my name and zip code. I was curious to hear the rest of the offer, and answered about 3 questions. After that she provided me phone number to call, to which I was to give a certain CODE after I answered more questions. I did not answer the other questions, however, I did call the number she gave me 518-768-1678 and proceeded to give a "made up" code number to the man that answered. After that I was transferred to another department. Then I was disconnected. Then I received a text message saying "Hi you sounds to old I don't want to [censored] with you hahaha". Then a second text message saying "hahahahaha". I then called back the number, and stated I wanted my number removed. A man answered saying to me "are you F-***" spelling the words out. I restated I wanted my number removed. That's when he asked what's your name? My wife said to me don't they know your name? And that's when he said to me, "I don't want to talk to you, what's your wife's name. Let me talk to your wife so I can [censored] her". I hung up.

He sent another text message saying [censored] you. I called the number 518-768-1678 again and the recording says "The Google subscriber is not available, please leave a message". I tried calling them again and got a child like voice (kind of like disguising the voice) answering. I hung up and called again. I got a man and he asked "Is this [censored]?" I told him I was going to call again until my number is removed from the harassing. I told them that their number is already shown as a "Government Scam" or "Fake Federal Scam". Then he said give me your wife's number, give me that lady's name and number and I'll call her so I can satisfy her. I hung up. And called back in again. This time the voice that was child like started 'singing'. The singing seemed to be like a mantra of some sort. And obviously it was to get me tired to stop calling them back, but since they were threatening me by making the call in the first place and then threatening what they want to do to my wife, well I am going to continue to call them until my number is removed from their system. After that I got too more text with a [censored] you message. Why doesn't the Department of Justice and Google go after these folks?

I received a phone call from a lady stating that she worked for the government and that I was granted by the government a loyalty grant of 9,000 that I could use on anything except illegal things. She called me from 646-818-9380. She said that this grant was not have to be paid back. She provided me with DC number for the grant and a number to call to speak with another agent.That number was 315-600-8537. After speaking with the gentleman he stated that I was being given this grant and that I would receive it through western union. He stated that in order for me to get the 9,000 grant I needed to purchase a 200.00 card at the store that I was going to for western union. I informed the gentleman that if the grant was free why should I have to pay 200.00 for a card when you can just send the money through western union. Scammers. They did not get me though. I have more since than that.

I first received a call from 232-4455, with no area code. A man saying I was selected to receive $9000 free government grant. Etc..then you have to call 240-542-9442 and a foreign lady explains the BS and she is very rude. Does not sound like a GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE..

I recd a text message on Monday July 23, 2018 to apply for a $30,000 Government Grant; another no. was 707-247-8841. I was instructed to go to Walmart to purchase an iTune card for $500 -- that would be the activation process. I texted them back and told them I would check w/the BBB before sending money, but I knew it was a scam.

Note: I was not able to obtain his phone no. because he faded away while I was speaking w/him. He must have been on his cell phone.

I got a call from a person at this number telling me I had received a government grant for $11,300. I had never applied for a government grant. The person I spoke to had a foreign accent and tried to tell me this was real.

They said there was a government survey of people who have not filed government bankruptcies in the last 6 mos, basically that you were a good person, that kind of a thing, low income. I thought. "what kind of call is this?". They were trying to make it sound legitimate and official which immediately raised red flags for me. She said there were 1000 people chosen across the U.S. They made it have a sense of urgency that you had to call right away and you would not get your money unless you called. Sounded like it was coming from a call center. They said I would receive a grant for $9000 and gave me grant ID # BB2319. They gave me a phone number to call back which is 646-389-5024 and to ask for Robot Spencer.

This site is run by Angela Hester, its located on Facebook at the following address …..https://www.facebook.com/claimingagentmanagement?_rdc=1&_rdr. She is offering grants up to several thousands of dollars. I don't know to much about it as I decided it wasnt for real and backed out before things got serious. I hope you do to.

""My friend who told me to check it out gave them 100.00 and she says, they did give her the money . ( I have doubts ). They are targeting the disabled, handicapped, the elderly.""

I had a woman who I thought was my friend contact me about a $80,000 grant which cost her $800. The scammer told me I qualified for a $120,000 grant and they would take 1% of the proceeds, so $1,200. We sent them $1,200 on May 21, 2018. Then they came back the next day and said there was a problem and they needed more fees so FedEx would deliver the money. That was $3,000. Both I sent through Western Union. My husband called my friend who said they were impersonating her. The $1,200 they had already picked up. The $3,000 Western Union was able to stop. Then the scammers kept messaging me saying "where is our money", "I'm an FBI Agent and we will get you for money laundering", etc. I changed my phone number, email, etc to get them to stop harassing me.
