Seriously. This guy called saying he was with the United States Loan department. What the hell? I asked him for his supervisor and he argued with me saying that he then worked for a Student Loan Department. I've never taken a loan before... I hung up and reported to the Federal Trade Commission.

Caller said he was from the Federal Government and that I had been randomly selected for a grant that I don't have to pay back. I asked why his area code was (201) in NJ instead of Washington DC. How do we report these numbers?
They said they were the from the Government Grant Department and that I am recieving a $9000 grant. When I screamed at them yesterday they said it was $7000. Anyhow, they will give you a number to call(202)810-5546. When I first called, I heard a computer voice saying "After the tone say your name and we will connect you to google Voice." Their sloppiness doesn't help how sketchy they already are. Anyways, I hung up and called back. A woman answered and she didn't introduce herself. I told her I'm calling about the grant and she asked for the Approval ID #. I then asked why she didn't answer the phone in a professional manner she kept shouting for the Approval ID #. We went back and forth until she hung up. I called back and an Asian gentleman answered more professional. I played into their game until he asked for me to spell my full name. But before we got that far I questioned him until he tripped up on some shaky information and then told him I'd call back and hung up.
