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.

This phone number called multiple times today. When I finally answered they said they were with government grants and wanted to give me $9000. All I had to do was have a ONE NIGHT STAND with them. I told them I was thirteen and didn't understand. They kept asking me over and over again if I was a VIRGIN. This is obviously very unprofessional and sexual harassment at its finest.

Facebook message looked like it came from one of my contacts. Said they got money from a government grant and noticed my name on the list and I hadn't collected it.

They wanted to send me a contact number and I said no thus is a scam. Heard nothing else back from them but they must have accessed my contacts as some of them. Are now. Getting the same message.

Calls where redial says non working number. They say there are government grants waiting. They will ACH funds after they get credit card info. They say they have My financial records. No way. Never give anyone personal info. Government never calls to give you grants.

I was contacted by a friend on messenger that he had gotten a federal grant free of charge. Later was contacted by a man claiming to be a federal agent saying I could get a federal grant by contacting a certain phone number to send his a message that I wanted to apply for a federal grant. The agent then told me I was accepted for the grant. After sending them $500 to an person named Brenda Franklin in Salis Mississippi I was told that I had to pay $20000 to the IRS but it was supposed to be sent to thee same address. I didn't have that kind of money so my friend offered to send it for me out of his money. After borrowing $900 and sending it still no money. Always one excuse after the other. So trusting my friend I sent another $900 thru western union to the same per. Still no money another excuse. Then I called the ScamPulse.com and was told that it may not have been my friend that contacted me. I tried calling him and no answer so asked him to call me. When I answered the phone I knew it wasn't him. They had been using his messenger to contact me all along and he had not sent them any money it was all a scam to get what they could. A supposed lawyer called me from phone number 4243275209 and assured me the scam was legitimate and to send the money. I called the ScamPulse.com and was informed of thee scam and how to report it. Please if anyone claiming to be a friend on messenger asks you to apply for a federal grant report it immediately. Call that friend and make sure it is actually them. I am now out of most of my social security check due to the fact they used a true friend. They are scammers.

I was told that I was chosen to receive a grant for $14,566. The guy told me I needed to put $350 on a Google card for 5 minutes. After the initial 5 minutes, the grant money would be put on the card. He said that Google was providing the money to the government to make the grant possible.

They said they are from government grant department and that my name was chosen from a survey they did to receive 9000.00. They wanted me to go to Wal-Mart and send 200.00 registration fee, which they say i will get back with the grant money. They asked for a credit card number so they could put the grant money on it. They said they are registered with the bbb, so i called and its a scam. I didn't send them any money, but they keep calling from a private number.

I received a text message from a good friend of mine saying that she had received $85,000 to help pay for bills, etc and that all I need to do is call this number back and I can receive the same amount. I did not call the number back as I know it'll be someone trying to get me to send them money.
