They call me about a free government grant. Said I'll get 9000 for free. I called the above number they ask if I could give 250.00 dollars. When o ask could they take it our of the grant money they hung up in my face. That's when I felt it was a scam.

Caller gave me Pin#/Code, GS110, to give to the person who answers the phone (202-649-0627) I was to call. I called & spoke to Kelly Watson, who asked for my pin# . Kelly Watson stated that Federal Reserve Bank in NY has a check in the amount of $9,000 for me; I do not have to pay back. She told me to go to 7-ll, get money card for $250 so I may receive the check . She stated she would be on the phone with me this whole time. until I get the $9,000 PLUS the $250 back . I realized this was a scam & I hung Up.

I received a call today from 202-524-1882. A man with an accent told me the government was giving a $9000 grant which I didn't have to pay back. It's a one time offer.He said I'd been a good citizen and I hadn't filed bankruptcy. I hang up on him. The calls have been going on for 3 weeks.

$9000 grant offered. Fernando Henderson. 202-930-1381, ext 741. He gave me an approval code AB121 and that I should call them back. They said I should pay them $100 and they would pay me back when I got the grant. He said the grant would not affect my benefits. He told me to go to Walmart and do a money transfer. He had a weak accent, maybe Spanish. I do not take his calls.

I received three calls yesterday from this number 202.400.2000. The man stated I was receiving a grant from the government for $9,000. I asked him specifically what branch of the government and he asked me the verify my personal information. He kept pressing me to verify my information and I kept pushing for his info, which of course he could not provide. Interestingly, my husband and mother received the very same call, along with 4 of my friends. Everyone thus far has confirmed the same phone number but given the number of people in my circle I think that this may be an issue.

Thanks ,

Received phone call and told that I was chosen for a 9000 dollar grant from the American Recovery and Reconsiliation Act and I could pick it up at a Money Gram store for 200 Dollars and it would be given back to me. The guys name was Anthony Young and a telephone # of (202) 780-7599 but the first number was from (202)868-7578 with a young lady with a accent calling. I was told to call back once I made it to Wal- Green on Mastin Lake Road. I did not take the bait.

Told me that I was randomly selected to receive a one time grant for $9000 and I could receive it through money gram if I paid a $300 activation thing to get the money tax-free and that’s all I know is that phone number that they gave me

They will not stop calling even when you ask them to take your number off their list. They state you can have this Government Grant for free just because your number came up randomly.
