I recieved a call from this place about a goverment grant for 7500.00 and called the number that the lady gave me and it was busy the whole time.... the woman I spoke to said her name was Michelle Parker..
I received this same call. The government pre selected 1700 people whom never filed for bankruptcy or had criminal records to receive $7,500, I knew it was scam then, I have disorderly conducts on my record from when I was 19 I am now 32. The lady then gave me a money ID number of BA177 and to call 202-436-9932 and talk with her supervisor with the ID number, she told also left me on hold for a few minutes. Came back and said I needed to pay a security deposit of $300 then go to any walmart to receive the money wich will come from Washington DC. I then asked why do I have to a pay a deposit for something I get for free or I won?! I was hung up on lmao good thin I didn't send money cause I don't have it anyway. Sorry to those that fell for it and is out the money. God Bless yous with good things to get it back, and may those that are doing this suffer.
This is not actually a response to anyone. I am just placing it here because this post has been reported as a number for the Grant scam:
As per the Federal Grants website at http://www.grants.gov
YOU WILL NOT BE CONTACTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO OFFER YOU A GRANT.
The government does not contact people to offer them money. If you do qualify for a government grant, the government does not request payment for it.
THERE ARE NO FEES ASSOCIATED WITH APPLYING FOR A GOVERNMENT GRANT.
Providing financial information to prove that you qualify for a government grant is typical, but you should never pay money to apply for a grant. People who run scams often claim to provide help and sometimes claim to be "federal government" officials, don't be fooled by these scams that request money from you.
ALL GOVERNMENT GRANTS INVOLVE AN APPLICATION PROCESS
If you have not submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it's a scam. Grant money is not given over the phone for a fee. In order to qualify for a grant you must apply for the specific opportunity that you are qualified to apply for.
GOVERNMENT GRANTS ARE AWARDED FOR EXPLICIT OPPORTUNITIES
Government Grants are typically awarded to states, cities, educational institutions, nonprofits and other organizations to fund research and other projects.
GOVERNMENT GRANT APPLICATIONS AND INFORMATION IS FREE
Be cautious of offers that ask for your personal information (especially financial) when requesting a fee to access grant information. You can always access free information about government grants and other benefits at Grants.gov and Govbenefits.gov
