The information they have is all public information that can easily be found on the internet. I got the same call. I'm going to call the number to find out what they have to say. I know it's a scam, but I want as much information as I can get to include it when I do the report to the Gov't.

It's a scam. There is no grant. You will lose your money on the Green dot card. The funds are untraceable. What part of the word "scam" do you NOT understand?
