I got a phone call yesterday around 530 in it was some guy and he was saying that I was eligible for a $10,000 grant ok me being who I am I started asking questions then he asked me what would I do with the $10,000 I said go back to school then he got my name address and I'll be above n he gave me a number to call David Coleman at the 202 number well I called and he was telling me and I was like why I can send it to me in the chat he stated that they don't send out checks anymore because he get lost in the mail in so many people have it didn't receiveit in the mail so then I started asking questions I said well why can't you take the money out the grant that you that I supposedly supposed to get so he turned around and said well we can't release the funds you will have to go and get a green dot card and load $290 we don't you supposed to have your information I transfer you over to the bank and the bank of a lazy and within the 30 minutes that we are on the phone that your money should be on the card I said well I don't have the money and I'll call you when I getting in that was the end of the story of something told me to google the number that was called and now I know it is a scam because grant monies you do not pay back grant monies and you do not have to pay to get the money so lesson learned they try to scam you all the time

They called me and told me I won $10.000 for paying my taxes on time blablabla .. and they were trying to get my personal info, but I figured out it's scam, and told them that i'll not share my personal info on phone, and hang up on them. They called me couple of times today and got the same answer.
Same story...... I won a $10,000.00 grant to help the federal goverment crisis. First they call from #10010000. Then I call to 202-241-4094. i chose to receive the payment via western union but since had to pay $290. that tell me it wasn't free. I told them to let me talk to my husband because he is an IRS agent. the guy got real mad, said he ain't got time to lose with me hang up on my face. I report them to Federal Trade Commission 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); https://ftccomplaintassistant.gov/#crnt&panel1-1 register my phone at https://www.donotcall.gov/ Both guys where from India.
Simple advance fee scam. Western Union. Let's all say it again. . . CASH. CASH. CASH. Untraceable CASH - that can be picked up anywhere in the world. Rule #1 of a wire transfer: NEVER, NEVER send money to someone you do not personally know. Family & friends. Real ones, not the internet ones.
