WolfmanJack's post is correct.
You have been scammed, and may be subject to even more scams!
Things to believe:
• There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
• If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• You have not won big bucks from a benign benefactor, a pot of pesos from PCH, dinero from a doctor, a car from a caller, or a grant from a gracious government ◄- ◄- ◄- ◄- ◄-
• The tooth fairy really does not exist
• Everything you read on the internet is not necessarily true.
• It is illegal to ask for money for a loan or prize, before awarding the loan or prize!
• "Free Trips" are loaded with mandatory & costly extras, and you usually must give them your card number after listening to a loooong spiel at a hotel.
• Microsoft or a different famous software company, or one of their agents did NOT cold call you to fix your computer.
• The moon is not made of green cheese.
• The IRS will snailmail you, rather than phone you, if there is a problem.
• Jackalope milk is not an aphrodisiac.
• If you Vanilla Card, MoneyGram or Western Union money to a scammer, the money is gone.
• You should beware of Geeks bearing gifts, specially if the gift is a wooden horse with termites, or a statement that your computer is infected.
• 876 is NOT your lucky number, and it will cost you money to call that area code!
• The number you see on your Caller ID may not be the number of the person who called you!
• The Do Not Call List works as intended. It is NOT a call blocker!

They said I was the winner of a US government grant of the amount of $7,500, and if I did not accept it and give them the information to my bank account so they could direct deposit it then the US government would come and arrest me.
I received a call today from this phone number around 3:00. Was told I was selected for a $7,500 Grant tax free from the government. Spoke with a lady first bearly spoke English couldn't understand anything she said. She told me her name was Candice and was told to go to my closest western union, to fill out a resgistration with the government then another form to recieve the money. I kept asking her questions till she transferred me to a guy who I could unserstand. Mind you he was rude and didn't seem professional at all. When he got annoyed with my questions he screamed oh my god! .. He then said that if have to go to rite aid they give me 3,700 there and then go to Wal-Mart and receive the 4,000. Well I got some information as if I was going to go throu with it. I went to my closet western union I was suppose to send 210$ plus 15 to send it to Thailand and the receiver who was supposedly going to send the 7,500 plus my 210 which would be a total of 7,710 is Chonrada Suwanampha. They also have me a website www.grants.gov .... SCAMMMM!
