The Federal Trade Commission warns of this scam at https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0113-government-grant-scams I was called from various numbers, e.g., 202-838-7417, but told to call back to 202-780-7284
MJG is posting what everyone needs to know. This is a complete and utter scam. The govenment doesn't just give grants to random people, you have to apply for them. And when you do, you don't have to pay to receive it. And you most certainly DON'T pay the government for ANYTHING with an iTunes or other type gift card. Just block and ignore these calls.
