The representative James Brown, said I won a $9,000 Government Grant. He gave me a grant #, and told me to call 239-244-3962 to verify my winning grant # to make sure I was the correct person. Also to verify my account information...

Received a call from 202-506-1967 saying with US Federal Government Department of Grants. Total scam - told him I wasn't interested. Then called the # back which comes back as disconnected.
Darn it ya'll. I was planning a trip with my 9K. lol
Why do they have to do this? I wish the gov't would just go and shut them down when they are told this is happening. Quickly, not a year down the road after many gullible people have been bilked out of their money.......
