Type of a scam Government Grant
HOUSTON (KTRK) --
Phones are ringing all over Houston with the promise of cash in the form of government grants.
There's just one problem. Grants are not easy to get, but that's not what callers are telling Houston residents. The catch to getting government money? You have to pay first.
Betty Williams says a recent call to her cell came with the promise of big bucks.
"The reason they said my number was picked was because he government is giving free grants to people who pay their bills on time and pay all of their taxes," said Williams.
Williams says the caller said she would get $7500 in government grants to help pay bills. But to get the money, she needed to wire $300 first.
Williams says that's a step she knew not to take.
"There are a lot of senior citizens who do not know a lot, especially at my age, they will say, 'oh 7500 dollars,'" said Williams.
Fortunately Williams knows better, did some research.
"I found out this is really truly a scam. I am not crazy, I was not born yesterday," said Williams. "I might be a senior citizen, but I got all my mental faculties with me."
Monica Russo with the Houston ScamPulse.com says Williams did the right thing by not falling for the grant scam. She says getting a real grant is not so easy.
"It's a whole process. You have to apply for it. A lot of times you have to draft paper work for it. So it's not something that is as easy as these guys make it out to be," said Russo.
The BBB says to be on the lookout because if one person in our area got this call, it will likely happen to many, many more.

Your Bank of America Bank Card has been locked due to failed login attempts. Follow www.cards-bankofamerica.com to reinstate and update your profile!
the link then opens up a window to bank of america website where they ask you for your date of birth, login information and account numbers. called bank directly and they told me they have not sent any text messages and that account was not locked. My fiancé also received this text message, he doesn't even have bank of america. I froze my account and they are sending me new cards so nobody can access my account.

We have no intentions of returning the call.
The message didn't identify us by name, just the IRS had a warrant (which I know is false) and this was the final notice.
