I received a phone call from an Unavailable number stating I qualify for a Government Grant..they gave me a phone number to call to speak with a grant officer which is the number above so they can send me the money I qualify for..I took down the information and said I will call back tomorrow. .
To report the fraud, go here:

Their number is listed , along with an email address, at the top of the page.

I got the same phone call just today.
Gave me a 'grant number' and told me to call: 202-657-6331.
Said I qualify for a grant of $14,566.00 and said it was not taxable.
Once he tried to get my personal information, I told him that I would call the number and discuss it further.
Got a call for free us grant from the natl institution of health. Knew it was a scam. Wanted me to go to cvs and send them $220.00 to start the process. He even wanted to stay on the phone while I did it! Of course, the money would be reimbursed! Everyone I talked to was East Indian the latest was Peacher Brown. They're still waiting for the call back with the security code once it was sent.
