Do not give any information to these people. They are trying to get your cc# and bank account information etc... I know in my gut this is a scam. Again, as above, the caller had a very heavy accent and when I asked what state he was calling from he told me Washington D.C. He gave name of Andrew Stein with a Finance Manager's name of Whitney Tyler. Whitney's # is supposedly 202-738-1016

Somebody just called me from 310-777-1324 and gave me that exact same number to call after telling me I was selected for a 9000 grant. Luckily I have an app on my phone that lets me know which calls are spam and where they call California). This is definitely a spam caller so DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION!!!
