Type of a scam Government Grant
The woman spoke broken English stated that I had qualified for a grant of $9,200 which according to her I would not have to pay back. She stated that I was randomly selected because I am a law abiding citizen who pays my taxes and has never been bankrupt. I was very suspicious so I did not give any personal information. When she asked me for my name, I than asked her who she worked for and she stated that she worked for the government.
She gave me a confirmation number and told me to call 202- 656- 6270 and a man would walk me through the steps of getting me the grant via western union. In suspicion I looked up recent scans and came across the same story. i did not call the second number. pretty sure they were gonna ask me for money.
Total money lost $1,000

Then he asked me if there were any stores near me , I said yes , he asked me go to the nearest store because in order for me to get the grant I need to finish registering the application , and I need to get a voucher from the store , he stayed with me on the line until I got to rite aid drug store , then he told me to get three gift cards $100 each called steam, or iCloud prepaid gift cards , he said that money will be refunded instantly as soon as they deposit my grant money into my bank account, I told him I don't have that kind of money , he asked me to go to Walmart and give them a check for the amount for the cards, of air etc they didn't take my check because there are no funds , I got the money from my son and payed for the cards, he asked me to give him the numbers on the back of the cards, I did , that was his supervisor named Mark.
He put me on hold for a min then told me that while he was transferring the money to my account the gov put a hold on it because my state requires that any amount over $10000.00 I need to pay taxes on it , he said that they are going to pay the taxes which came to $4000.00 but I have to pay $500.00 for some kind of gov fee to release the money or they won't release it, I told him that I don't have that kind of money and I think they are scamming me , ofcource he denide it and put me on hold again , came back and said I can pay only $200.00 , I said no , he said I'm going loose the $300.00 I paid and he's going to close the file , and said when I have the money to call him so they can deposit the money to my account +the $300.00 I paid.
I said I want him to give me back the money I paid he said he can't because they already paid it to the gov.
That's all what happened, I feel like an [censored] for believing them, but they were very convincing ll

Scammer left message to call back and claim free grant money you are not required to pay back. Upon calling the scammer back a male answered the line saying his name was Mark from the federal grant department, again he explained I had been selected for a government grant, prior to me mentioning any personal information. I was then placed on hold to be transferred when the call dropped. I tried calling back and was hung up on by a woman.
