I received a messenger communication on Facebook that I thought was my friend. He stated he received a Government Grant $15,000 for $300 that was the lowest price. Funds were to be sent by Moneygram to Ana Yanet Soto in Los Angeles, CA. I am also receiving text messages. I kind of figured it was a scam. Did not seem logical. I did not send any money.

Type of a scam: Government Grant

I received a telephone call last week from a gentleman asking for my name and that I entitled to a grant fund from the United States government for grant money totaling $9,000.00. I said that this is a scam. He stated that if you think this is a scam then hang up. I figured I would play along with this gentleman. He stated that he would transfer me to a supervisor who stated the same thing as the first caller. I was to go to Walgreens or Walmart to put money on a card. At that time I told the caller that I worked at Walmart and that we didn't have those types of cards. He said I didn't say Walmart, I said Rite Aid, Walgreens or Dollar General. He then hung up the phone. (His name was Gary Wilson, GG2097 is a number that I was given as my account number).

Type of a scam: Government Grant

I have applied for government grants online. I have been receiving calls to my cell phone. Caller with an accent is offering a $9000. Then they called back and stated it was $9800. I was accepted out of 1500 people in the US. I was randomly selected. I don't have to pay it back. I spoke with three different people. They all had accents. This threw up a red flag. Wanted me to pay $300. It was like a holding fee until money went through. They gave me phone number to call them 202-642-2172. I was given confirmation number MK135. Wanted me to bring the $300 with me to the check cashing place. It was a deposit to get the process going. I told them there was an Ace check cashing by my home that had Money Gram. I did not send any money.

Type of a scam: Government Grant

Received a call from a man saying my name and phone number had been selected to receive a $9000 Government Grant. No repayment, no fee to receive. Was told a check could be mailed to my home, direct deposited into my bank or I could pick it up at Walmart. I refused to give him my address or bank info and said I would pick it up at Walmart. He told me it would be there in 1 hour. After several hours I went to Walmart and filled out the necessary paperwork and was told there was no money and they couldn't give me that amount even if there was. The ID only shows up as Private caller (no number) and I have no call back number. They continue to call even though I have told them I'm on to them and to stop calling.

Caller explains I was randomly chosen to receive a $9,000 grant from a federal agency in Washington, DC. I needed to make a deposit with Federal Bank of N.Y. at a local Walgreens or WalMart by purchaing a card in the amount of $200.00. Upon receiving that amount the bank would then release $9200 to the "randomly chosen" victim. Or, give them my bank account numbers and they would make a direct deposit to my bank account. They have called on my cell phone under many phone numbers including "Unknown". I have received as many as 6 to 7 calls a day.
