Should I worry gave scammers my home address and my name as it appears on my drivers license? Was told to call 202-684'6958 and give the person who answered my Grant #

I just received this call as well. Ha! If the Government wants to GIVE me 7800 that would be great! Oh, but I have to give THEM 200 to receive it? I figured this out real quick. When I told the woman on the phone I AM NOT STUPID, she suddenly was not on the line any longer. Not funny. I'm sitting here broke, dealing with the suicide of someone I loved very much (reason I'm so broke) and i get an idiot trying to steal my money. Don't fall for this!
I just rec'd a phone call from this number, stating I was selected out of 15 people to received $7,800 in grant money from the U.S. Gov. because of good credit and paying my bills on time. Go to any Walmart or Walgreen Pharmacy to receive my Money Gram. Just call this number back to confirm my Grant: 202-684-6958.
