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

They told me I was to receive a government grant in the amount of $92000.00. They gave me a I.D. number and told me to call 206-946-8172 and they would instruct me on how to collect the money. they asked if I wanted it sent to my bank account or receive cash. I didn't give my bank account so they said they would get the money to me through Wal-Mart. I hung up and called BBB.

Person called and said I got a grant for $9,000 of free money from the government. All I had to do was go down to my local CVS and they would wire the money. I had to pay $250 to get the money. 

I received a text from a friend saying he just got a government grant in the amount of $150,000 for paying mortgage, bills etc. He gave me the number of 432-201-1150 to contact them to get my grant. I received a text and email from [email protected] saying that I qualified and I just needed to wire $5000 to receive the money. Second number is 432-242-7893. I called the BBB.

They said I was being awarded a government grant in the amount of 9,200. For not filling bankruptcy or having a criminal record. I was to bring my driver's liscence along w/ $250.00 that will be completely refunded.

I have recieved multiple calls from 2025584236 stating I have recieved a 9000$ grant from the government with no strings attached. They gave me a code to take to a western union but before i go i would have to call them back to let them know i was going to do it.

6-22-2016. I received a phone call from a female (she said her name is Jane Wilson) with a very distinct accent (I couldn't place it) who told me of a $9000 grant I had been selected to receive. She went into great detail about how the money was tax-free and all I had to do was call her supervisor at the toll free number of 888-869-0311 and give them my authorization # of SW1011. She also asked me to select a pharmacy near me where the grant would be provided. She then called me back in about 3 minutes to see if I had mad the call.

I received a call from someone saying that I can get a $9000 grant from the government. All I would have to do is go purchase a $200 Iphone card.

Scammer told victim that they receive a government grant of 14,360 dollars .if victim brought.a itune gift card of 279.dollars and gave them the numbers to itune card to cover tax for irs.

Alt# 864-642-0000 male and female working together Called to say they are government to give you $9500 dollars in a money order with $900 to send on ITunes card. If less than $900 the remaining will be held. $200 was sent and now no answer on the phone. Itunes said Can't get a refund. Just sad

They called my cell phone with a number (727) 623-2384 and said I qualified for a government grant. After listening to all the information they claim they gave me a phone number of (202) 813-0907 and they will ask for an ID number that was provided to me from them which was GG1994. They want to use a western union to send a $9,000 dollar grant, however you need to send the taxes on this amount in order to receive the funds.

I recd a call today at 1:15 PM and spoke to Steven Cotter (had an accent) & he told me he was going to give me a $9200 govt grant. This was a one time deal that I would not have to pay. I was instructed go to Walmart and purchase a card for $200 and give him the no. to activate the card. They will then put the $9200 in the gift card. He also said I would get the $200 back. I called the ScamPulse.com instead to verify information and was told this was a scam.
