I would get a $9,000 grant from US Government. This is the fourth call I have received with the same message. I hung up on the other three, but listened to the last one, who said her name was Florence Wilson (the same name as my aunt who is deceased). I called them back and told "Carolyn Thomas" the person who would release the funds that it was a scam. She didn't get to the point where it would cost me money. When I told her I knew it was a scam, she hung up on me.
The good old USA should fine and somehow put these idiots out of business who prey on gullible folks.
I got a call today from a man who's accent was so think i could only understand half of what he said. He told me to call his manager Karolin Palmers. I would like to know how they get out numbers and information.
They call from a Washington State area code then claim they are from Washington DC. They also say the 315$ is to cover expenses to verify who I am at Western Union. I use WU alot and have never had to pay to pick up money only pay % if I send money. When I said that to her (Carolyn Thomas) She said that if I didnt feel comfortable sending in the $315 have a good day. SCAM
All incoming phone calls saying you are getting a grant are 100% scams.
The government NEVER calls anyone to solicit grants.
The ONLY way to get a grant from the government is to use their portal. http://www.grants.gov
If you have applied for and are approved for a grant, you NEVER have to pay ANY fee for the grant funds.

got a call on my cell today from Sam Davis (447-800-0000 was the number that showed up). So Haji, I mean Sam, informs me that because I haven't claimed bankruptcy and have paid my taxes over the past year, that I, along with 17,000 people, were each getting $9k in grant money. Yeah--- right! He said he was calling from the US Grants Department in Washington DC. Just like the other complainants on this board, he gave me 3 options, my visa card, my checking account or via cash (western union). I only have to call Carolyn at 206-923-9681 and give her my confirmation code of SR1204. Thanks, but no thanks.....
