Who called from 2026575284

Its fake.  The government is not giving out grants.  

The $210 you paid is gone.  You will never catch the thief who took it.

1. This is without any doubt a scam, period. The government won't pay you through western union or call you on a phone. Neither will the FBI or CIA. 2. I had the same problems with them, Grant ID 10,000 dollars, 215 dollar deposit, needing to go to Western Union with an ID, and a phone, along with my signature. Grants will never do this and neither will the Federal goverment, end of story. I asked this guy his name, probably a fake name, but he said his name was Mark. Best of fortunes to the next person this idiot calls.

This is not true. It's a scam. I got a call today with the same call back number. I am so sorry that you sent them that money.

Caller wanted me to collect $7800. federal grant money from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by taking my cell phone, picture ID and $200 to Western Union and then I'm supposed to call the phone number back from Western Union and get further instructions on how to lose my $200.  They claim they will turn right around and send back $8000.  Also I was instructed NOT to tell Western Union employees what I was doing else Western Union would try to collect huge fees and taxes from me.  When I said I didn't mind paying the Western Union fees I got to talk to a supervisor who advised against that because Western Union is a private company and they would also then try to collect more fees from the Federal Govt. The actual phone number that showed up on my caller id doesn't look like a phone number at all.  I'm reporting the phone number that I am supposed to call when I get to the Western Union office.  The number on my caller ID is +453412
I've received these phone calls before but the other callers wanted me to give out my debit card number so they could direct deposit my grant money.  I always hear "CLICK" when tell them to just send me a loaded prepaid VISA instead of attempting to get my banking info.  All the calls I have received stress over and over that the money is only to be used by me for legal purposes only.  LOL

For those who are still wondering if this Federal Grant call is a scam.... YES.. IT IS A SCAM.   The Federal Government does have grants but you will NEVER EVER have to pay a fee to apply for or receive a grant.  Go to www.grants.gov  for federal grants.  Go to FTC.GOV to file complaints or to  get consumer information.
