they called at 10:00 am this morning and stated that I was being awarded a government grant of 9000.00 dollars and that all they needed was my bank account number to transfer the money. I told her to send it in a government check an she stated they couldn't do that , at this point I stated this sounds like a scam and hung up. when you call that number back it says it is a nonworking number.

Supposedly chosen to receive $9000 grant from Federal Government.
"You may wonder why..." etc. Asked what department, couldn't understand her, and asked her to repeat the department. She hung up! She never got around to asking me to send money. Guess I didn't sound like such a good prospect! :)
I received a call from this number 14 minutes ago, they didn't leave a message and I did not answer as I could tell it was an unknown number from the Washington, DC area.
They must be on a roll today - I also got a call. Did not answer it as I didn't recognize the number. No message left. If they do call back, I will be sure to enjoy messing around with them.
I got the same message from a fellow who said his name was "Michael", but had a foreign accent. He mentioned something about a gov't grant I wouldn't have to pay back. I hung up on him, and he tried to call back. I didn't pick up. About 1 hour later another caller with the number 202-311-2467 tried to call but I didn't answer. Sounds like a scam.
