Leo Bavis telephone number 206-905-1040 extension 4576 just called me I told him I didn't have 200 and why couldn't he just pay for it..... very rude people btw and not very good on speaking English lol
same as all others. What can we do about it? I asked if was a scam? They said I will be on th phone while you are at western union. If is wasn't for real I could call and give someone this number and I would be in trouble 1-206-201-2174.

Just got off the phone with 2 of these foreign sounding individuals. The first was a cold call from 543-210-9876, saying i have been approved for the same 9000$ govt grant, as part of the american recovery and reinvestment act of 2009. She asked how i wanted to recieve the money, either "cash in hand" from Western Union, in my bank account, or to a credit card, then gives me a confirm number to give to another guy at another phone number, that number is this 206-201-2174 in question.
after calling this second number the guy said i would have to pay a servicing fee of 250 but it would be refunded as part of the 9250 they were giving me. Then said i could pay using the Green Dot Money Pack. I mentioned it sounded fishy to me, that the government doesnt ask for funds before giving them in a grant. He came back with something about how if it were a scam then the number he is using would be reported and that it would be probably shut down and he would have to use a different number. I said how do i know this isnt the new number you just set up and it just hasnt been shut down yet. Thus why i am here looking up the number info giving my report as others seem to be having the same issue.
Im going to look into it further and if i find anything out ill update this post. I also intend to notify my local news to get the word out as well.
