I would get a $9,000 grant from US Government. This is the fourth call I have received with the same message. I hung up on the other three, but listened to the last one, who said her name was Florence Wilson (the same name as my aunt who is deceased). I called them back and told "Carolyn Thomas" the person who would release the funds that it was a scam. She didn't get to the point where it would cost me money. When I told her I knew it was a scam, she hung up on me.
The good old USA should fine and somehow put these idiots out of business who prey on gullible folks.
To report the fraud, go here:

Their number is listed , along with an email address, at the top of the page.
