Just had a similar experience. Came over our cell phone. No answer at first, then loud ringing and then a voice with accent said they were calling from some Grant. I told them we were on no call list and not to call us again and I was going to report this call. The person then made a mocking sound back at me and I hung up the call
I received a call from this number, no noise, and then I heard ringing.
Thereafter someone picked up with a noisy background, and said "Hello. I'm calling from the Federal Grants Service", or something along those lines. I immediately told them to take me off their list.
I previously got a similar call, I replied contact me through mail if it's so important.

They call 2-3 times a day for about 10 days. I answered and woman with accent and loud ringing in the background
ask for my name, Hallo I am calling from the Federal Grant .I told her not to call again, because she is just reported
to authorities.
I got a call about two weeks ago from a man with a very heavy accent said he was calling about free grant money that I never have to pay back so I said send me a check and he said they couldn't send a check so I hung up. Today got another call said free grant money of $ 7K; so I figured what the heck would listen to it and see what kind of scam it was. I listened and he said that I have 30 minutes to claim my grant money and gave me an ID # and a phone # to call (that # was 360 362 4567 and I spoke with Minni). So Minni told me that I have to get a Reload It card from the store and put $ 200 on it so it will "extend" the card and it will be able to accept my $ 7K because the normal limit on the card is $ 200 to $ 500; and in 10 minutes I will have the $ 7K plus my $ 200 that I put on the card. After I do that I can go to any bank and get the cash. So I called my bank and asked and she said she doesn't have any reports of this but it sounded like a scam to her also.
