This scam has info.of my friends information  on credit card and the   3 digit number in back of the card too plus name address. What are they up to,    What do they do with all her information now  ?..?......can't someone bust these people

Have your friends name, address, credit card number & 3-digit security code from the back. What are they up to? Hummm? Tell your friend to cancel the card, get a new one, & have a security watch put on their credit reports.

i just received  a call from this number 202-241-4907 saying i just got a $10,000 dollar grant from the UNITED STATES Government??? this sounds to good to be true then they say i have to pay a190 dollar fee for a FREE grant i seemed suspicions of them and told them no so they said they deleted my account info i didt give them anything but my name and address. Should i be worried???

american, I would keep an eye on your credit report just to be on the safe side. If anything shows up that you don't recognize, file a fraud alert with Experian,Equifax, and TransUnion.

As per the Federal Grants website at http://www.grants.gov

YOU WILL NOT BE CONTACTED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO OFFER YOU A GRANT.
The government does not contact people to offer them money. If you do qualify for a government grant, the government does not request payment for it.

THERE ARE NO FEES ASSOCIATED WITH APPLYING FOR A GOVERNMENT GRANT.
Providing financial information to prove that you qualify for a government grant is typical, but you should never pay money to apply for a grant. People who run scams often claim to provide help and sometimes claim to be "federal government" officials, don't be fooled by these scams that request money from you.

ALL GOVERNMENT GRANTS INVOLVE AN APPLICATION PROCESS
If you have not submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it's a scam. Grant money is not given over the phone for a fee. In order to qualify for a grant you must apply for the specific opportunity that you are qualified to apply for.

GOVERNMENT GRANTS ARE AWARDED FOR EXPLICIT OPPORTUNITIES
Government Grants are typically awarded to states, cities, educational institutions, nonprofits and other organizations to fund research and other projects.

GOVERNMENT GRANT APPLICATIONS AND INFORMATION IS FREE
Be cautious of offers that ask for your personal information (especially financial) when requesting a fee to access grant information. You can always access free information about government grants and other benefits at Grants.gov and Govbenefits.gov

I received a call as well on January 28,2014 around 10:45 am from a number that showed unknown. This male gave me my name as well as address and told me about the $10,000 grant I was approved for. He said there are three ways to receive the grant: 1. receive on my debit card 2. receive via Western Union and 3. send to checking or savings account. He then gave the 202 number and said I can give my information to the next person on the phone at the accounts management office. Please, do not give any information out, it is already hard enough for 1 working person!
