I received a phone call from this number for saying that I'm going to get a grant For 5000 dollars. all I needed to do was good 100 dollars donation to a charity of 100 dollars. I refuse to do so and was called the heartless son of a [***] and some other fowl words in Hindu.
it is a scam. i found out because i called western union and they dont require a deposit. when i called them back they said that the deposit is for them and that they were western union and the indian guy was getting mad because i brought it up

I've got the call from 323-000-0000 number (oddly enough) and I went through the whole thing with him convincing him that I'm on board. I just wanted to see how far he will go. He gave me his name - John Margin - of course with a heavy Indian accent. He couldn't pronounce "Recession." I could feel his discomfort when I laughed on that word every time :) So, he gave me his extension number and this phone number 323-843-2852 to call him back. He said they'll mail me all documents within next 3 days and that I will be able to go to western union to pick up my cash. The reason he offered cash was because I said I have no bank accounts nor cards. He also asked me for my SSN (gave him a random set of numbers) that he needed to verify and HE VERIFIED MY SSN! While on the phone he gave me an address 3049 W Gleeck Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90021 and said that's the address of Federal Government Grant Agency... And I mapped it while on the phone... No such address even! I hope they actually mail me something so I can find out who they are :)
CONCLUSION: SCAM! 100% DO NOT GIVE AWAY ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION!!!
