Government grant Reports & Reviews (653)

person got a phone call that a women named Megan was going to give her a gov't grant. She will first need to purchase a visa card and put $250.00 in order to received a large sum on money. Then she will have to give her the number of the card in order to get the Gov't Grand.

Number contacting : 425-245-5109

Messaged her on facebook first and then through text messaging. Saying that she is Attorney Mary Hogan and she can get a government grant if she pays for it.

I was contacted by phone saying I was approved for a 7800 dollar grant. I was given a grant approval Id and was given the 2nd phone number to speak with a Robert Hernandez ext. 109. There I was told I would be able to have the money sent to me to the Wal-Mart near me. I'll I needed to do is have 270 dollars for the registration fee to make it so I was exempt on having to pay taxes on the 7800 dollar grant that's free gov money and I shouldn't have to pay taxes then anyways. Or then why can't that come directly out of the grant. Cuz he says it's refundable as well. So I called ScamPulse.com to find out how to report this scam. As I know it is cuz I shouldn't have to send money to get a gov grant. And I'm unemployed and have no income and no way to come up with 270 dollars anyways.

Was sent a message on face book by a friend that I know. Haven't talked to this friend in a long time, haven't seen him in over 50 years. He wanted me to go to a website. Margie Roth is the agent from the Federal Government Grant Company and United Nation Property Eradication Program. Will send 150,000.00 but I had to pay taxes, insurance and shipping. I will need to send back $1,000.00 to pay for the expenses. Send money to Sheila Coleman in Gibsland, LA 71028. Need to respond immediately for UPS to ship money.

I was called by a person by the name of "Jordan Maxwell " who told me I won a government grant, and to go to a CVS, get an Itunes card and they will transfer the money on there. The government, using ITunes cards... Right

Said won a grant of 9,000 and had to pay $250

Give money and within 12 hours I would have cash in hand. Received call from friend that I went to high school with. Contacted on face book and said that Obama had a government grant for grandparents. Send $200.00 by West Union/Money Gram to agent Leonard Snively, Harrisburg, Penn. 17110 and I will receive $250,000.00. Did not send money.

I received many calls at my cell phone from the number 1-779-87987. Thinking it was my doctor's office. I finally answered the call today (8/5/2016 at 3:23 pm) and a lady named Annie, who knew my name, stated that she was from the Federal Reserve. She stated that I had been randomly chosen to received a grant of $1,069. Without me saying anything else, she said "you may be wondering where this money is from..." She processed, to tell me that 150 lucky people have been selected for this grant, that they had to be of Hispanic descent and that they had to American Citizens. Apparently, I was one of those "selected people."

She asked how I would like to receive the grant...via a wire into my checking account, or money order via Western Union. At this point I was really suspicious due to NEVER receiving a call like this from the Federal Reserve. So, I asked her once more where she called from. She answered and quickly went to ask how I would like the money. I told her I had to look into it. At that point, she clicked on me. I tried calling the phone number back to see if I could find out more information prior to reporting this scam, but the number was invalid.

- Baton Rouge, LA, USA

I was told that I received a government grant in the amount of 14,000. They gave me a reference number La23314 and a phone number to call the treasury department. I told them I been scam before so I would like to check the company out before issuing any personal information.

You get a call saying that you qualify for a government grant they say you don't have to pay back they give you ID # and a phone number to call to verify your grant. When you call they tell you to buy them a prepaid card with 285.00 on it. Call them back with the 285.00. And you will receive your money within 15 min via money transfer or deposit into your account.

Have Grant money, free money from the government $9,000.00. wil send to Wal Mart but I have to send them $250.00 to get the grand money. To get money KS615. Edward Forrester called

Man called and said I had won a government grant. I just needed to pay $1,000 and he would send me $10,000. Don't believe these scammers. Hang up.

They wanted me to go to Walgreens or CVS to buy a $250 gift card to transfer money to. There was a $6700 government grant that I qualified for because I paid my bills on time and was not a criminal.

I am constantly receiving calls that I have won a government grant, today for $9,000 and I need to go to WalMart to buy a card and send them money. I know it is a scam and I tell them and most of the time they hang up, but some of them get very nasty about it.

I received a call that I had won a government grant for $5,000. I was given a code and told to call 315-875-7961. I called and was told to call back in 15 minutes and speak to Robert Lee. I called the ScamPulse.com instead.

Contact came through as a facebook chat from what I thought was a chat from my friend.

Small talk and family conversation at first, the asked by supposed friend if I knew anything about Government

Grants for elderly or disabled ?

Response was no I haven't. Supposed friend went ahead and began to explain how it had worked for her;

Send in $500.00 to Government Representative, receive in a few days$120,000.00 ,

Supposed friend went on to give link for contact by phone.

Responses sent to link by text message.

Pressing for when funds could be sent.

Discussed with daughter and son regarding chat and came to realization its a scam.

Had phone number changed due to texts being received from supposed government agency.

Consumer received phone call they toll her she qualify to receive a “free grant" in order to received $9.200 she have to send $200 dollars in a iTunes card for registration fee.

Foreign sounding male individual called cell phone claiming to be from the Federal Government and stated that I had been selected to receive a grant from the Federal Government because I met the guidelines. Caller had my name and home address. Caller stated that for a one-time, refundable $200 application fee I would receive the money via my choice of check, pre-paid card or by Western Union. Caller said to use code AL707 as identifier for Western Union to send the application fee. The caller would not provide further information. Caller did not speak English well and there was lots of noise in the background of his location. I called the number back that showed on my caller ID and another foreign sounding male answered the phone and "verified" the call as real.

I got a call informing me that I will receive a government grant for paying my bills on time. I was one of a group of people chosen. I was then given a phone number and directed to call that number to get the money using a pass code M69. I've heard this 3 times last week as well

1,700 people selected and I am one for a Government Grant offered $9K with a confirmation # and Call back number. Did not even have time to call the number and ask further upon receiving another call offering $7K from the Treasury Dept. and Ck from Reserve Bank of NY with the same spill of a different confirmation # and Call back number to get the money transferred to my account or Cash pick up at a local Western Union. Really??? They said I had been selected through the HHS. Never have to pay back or taxes on these funds. Ha, from the government and not have to pay taxes. They have way too much information they spill out about my phone #, Zip, name, address, etc. and I do not believe a word they have to say since they are foreign accents. Oh, I am to keep all of this confidential since only 1500 people were selected. Since they are different and then I am not a fool to call either but to report this as a SCAM. Thanks for this. If you need further information I will be glad to provide so this can be stopped. Thanks
