This number 202-407-9217 just called me and said she was from the US treasuries dept. and I had been selected to get a free grant of $6,000 through the US Gov. for being a good citizen. I asked what the catch was and she kept saying I was selected for being a good citizen.... paying my bills and taxes on time and then repeated it with every question I asked. She did not speak good english and she sounded very scripted....but somehow she knew my 1st and last name & my address. She wanted me to verify my D.O.B, and email address! I would not; I again questioned what company she was with and she just kept saying she's with the u.s gov. SO finally she told me I'd have to call a number back to receive my grant money....uh, huh!!
With all the debt in Washington doesn't it seem strange that they are GIVING money to GOOD citizens just for paying our bills and taxes on time??? How dumb do they think we are?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUST GOT THE SAME ALLS, IM IN MILWAUKEE, WI. broken English caller had been blowing my cell phone up for weeks, I finally answer the weird 202 number, the rep called me by first and last name, then proceeding to tell me about my 7,000 "good citizen's" grant that I was selected for. she said I qualified because I hadn't filed bankruptcy, my taxes were submitted timely and I had no criminal record. they kept stressing the criminal record thing....so I verified my address and my age. then im given a code number to call another 253 area code number (kent, WA), and that rep also stated I won the grant and to put 200 bucks on a green dot card-whatever that is...and my funds would be deposited same day. I went to the computer and immediately saw this blog....there has got to be something the feds can do about this, they are impersonating the fed govt!!!!! just nuts!!

I got the same call but she said I was to get 9000 .00 for the same reason as the other people. It's sad because some people really do need the help I know I do. They shouldn't do that. Something needs to be done
