The representative James Brown, said I won a $9,000 Government Grant. He gave me a grant #, and told me to call 239-244-3962 to verify my winning grant # to make sure I was the correct person. Also to verify my account information...
I just received the same call say gov't was giving $9,000 dollars because I won a grant from the Gov't. That I was not arrested in the past 6 months and that I qualify for this grant.
he wanted to put it in my personal account or cash in hand.
Granted the Gov't does give many grants but you must apply for them in order to receive any money and there are billions to be had if you fill out the forms. They would never simply call anybody and say here is some money. This is a scam for people to give out their account number so they can clean out your account. SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!!
Just received a call from 202-506-1967 saying my name and number had been selected to receive a $9000 federal grant. I spoke to a gentleman who claimed his name is "Oliver Hann" I searched the name and was unable to find it. He gave me the number 239-244-3962 and a confirmation number to call to the account manager's phone. Per the male caller his manager's name is Anna. I asked what kind of questions they would ask me when I called the number and he continued to repeat the activation number to me and insisted that I call today. I have learned from the past that if the government is going to send you money that wont call you, they will just deposit it, or send you a check with a government seal. It was a little surprising to me to get a number from the government that is not based in DC. I called the number he gave me and the first time it hung up on me, the second time I called it just keeps ringing. Complete scam. Beware of anyone who claims they are from the US Federal Grants Department.
I just received a call from Danny Johnson at (202) 506-1967 asking me to call Anna Porcha at (239) 244-3962; ID# FD151 letting me know that I won $9k from the United States Federal Government Grants Department for being a loyal customer to paying my bills on time etc. I asked for a website and he gave me: www.usausgovtgrant.org.
I also just received a call stating I won a $9,000 grant from the Federal Government because I paid my bills on time and had not filed for bankruptcy. The man stated he was calling from Washington D.C. and he gave me the number 239.244.3962 to call to claim the money, a claim ID#, and to ask for Anna Porcha. I believe that anything that sounds "too good to be true" is usually NOT true! As would be said by Internet Sensation Sweet Brown: "Aint nobody got time fa' that!!!"
