Yes, it is a scam! You have to apply for a government grant, you don't just get given one at random. And you certainly never have to pay to receive one, even if they claim they don't take the money. Just block and ignore their calls.
I didn't receive a call from this number but I was told to call this number & give them an ID # they gave to me to give them when I do call this number. She stated it was her Supervisors #'s. They stated I was receiving a grant from the Federal Government in the amount of $9,200.00 for home renovations, school, etc. I also did not have to pay this money back. They would western union me the money to the closest Walmart Store. They already had my name, address and phone number. I'm almost positive this is a scam. I was always told if it sounds to good to be true then it is not true!!!
This just happened to me too. The asking for me to have a card with 200 available on it but they're not taking the money. once I get to Walmart they will wire me the 9200 through Money Gram. is this a scam

I got a call from this number and I just let that person kept talking. She was doing alright until she asked me to send $250 to "activate" my account and I'll receive it back, meaning I'll be receiving $9,450 instead of the $9,200 supposedly from the US Federal Treasury Dept. When I told her to just deduct the $250 from the $9,200, she wasn't happy. I got a name "Joe Miller" which is a very common name. I told the lady I talked to, who is the "supervisor," that I"m going to report them. What is the crime people doing about this? Has this been looked into?
