Received a call from this number yesterday, the person on the other line said I was selected to receive a grant from the US grants department totaling $8,500.  Well, I followed through and called the persons manager so that I may complete the process. After speaking to the manager for two minutes he told me that in order for me to receive the funds I would have to pay $290 for taxes out of my own money.  That's when I hung up the phone.  Don't fall for it, it's a scam obviously  I wanted to here the whole pitch so that I can report it to the employee's in my company.

Debit card attached to visa, Mastercard or bank account  3. Cash delivery grant.  Call and ask for manager Melissa Williams right after I hang up. We'll I went to Internet to look up number to call back. No info until I check this page. By then same guy called back to me & ask me if I called the number yet. I called this number 202-470-5946, same man answered. I asked to talk to Melissa Williams like he referred me to talk to, said he'd connect me in 2 minutes, then phone disconnected instead of being put me on hold.
