These people are trying to rip you for 250$ by saying you have been rewarded free grant money from the government... Trying to get you to either buy a iphone card or give them your banking info to direct deposit the "funds".
I just got this phone call with the same pitch to pick up 9,000 at a western union. I was unsure so I just googled the number and I found out that it was a scam. I guess its a scam. any more info would be appreciated. Im not going to western union with my ID. I had identity theft before and Im super careful now with all personal info.
