I have received several calls from 202-738-1768, Richard Olson, claiming I received a $9000 grant. All I had to pay was $250 processing fee, it would be reimbursed with the $9000. They called me every 2 hours to confirm that they were processing my transaction. Now they claim that I have to pay state taxes, in a state that doesn't pay taxes! Even gave me www.grants.gov page as reference. Also watch out for Jason Fletcher, Senior Processing Agent at 202-738-4572.
I received a call today saying i would receive $7000.00 and i needed to go wire them $250.00 to receive the money. the guy Francis Scotts argued when i told him it was a scam, and said it wasn't. i told him i wasn't interested.
Got a phone call from 202-000-1111. A gentleman calling from that number told my husband that according to their records, they have checked and can see that he pays his bills on tie and has no criminal history in his background and they have an approved $7000 Grant for him. The gave my husband another phone number to call 202-738-1768 and a number. When my husband called, Francis answered and my husband asked him how they can check his credit or background without his permission and that he wanted to speak to a supervisor. Francis then got very upset and loud with my husband and put him on hold, then hung up. I then called Francis from another phone, gave him the same number and he put me on hold, then hung up. When I called back he said i was disconnected. I asked him what company he worked for and he said no company just a Department and that he was the senior accounts rep a the grant department. I don't work for a company, this is the grant department, I said ok, the grant department of WHAT company? He said wow your family is stupid! After that I told him I was reporting them to the Attorney General's office and he said go ahead, I work for the goverment! DON'T CALL THESE PEOPLE!
Just got my own phone call from 202-000-1111 saying that was selected for a free grant because I payed my taxes on time. I want to know why the U.S. government is using a call center most likely in India. To tell me I was selected to receive a grant that they promise to western union to me. What, did they run out of checks? Don't they own the postal service? Most importantly there is no contract or anything. Just you give them money and this other person promises to give you some back. Seriously. Not one legal document!
i just came back from wiring a total of $730 to Jason Fletcher. I can't believe I didn't look up the number sooner!!!!!! I am a single mother of two and i am so poor. I literally gave him all that I had and now I'm left with nothing! That money was literally my savings for this month's food. I can't believe I've just got scammed. I'm such a generous person, why do people like them have to do such things! I hate myself for giving in on this stupid thing!
