just got the same call, I won a government grant and that I needed to take this number down, my so called grant ID # JK202 in my case. So I played along took down the number the whole time trying not to laugh, then he gave me his managers number 425-296-7936, and said you need to call right away, in the next 5 seconds, blah, blah, I let him continue to insist I call, and when he got around to, "so can I tell my supervisior to expect your call? " I said sure why not, but I can tell you right now, I am not calling anyone because this is a scam, and I was not born yesterday. So shame on you! Click went the phone.

I received a phone call from 425-296-7936, letting me know the US Gov is giving me a $7500 grant. I knew this was a scam and I played along as long as I could, I opted for the western union option. They had my address correct and wanted to know my date of birth, I refused! So I jotted down the phone number and I said I would back right away and talk to Sharon. Needless to say, I did not call back. Still wondering how they got my cell number. I have seen scams like this on TV like American Greed. These people need to be stopped!
Hello All,
I got the same thing repeated just 10 minutes ago, After hearing all the story that Mike mentioned, I simply asked HOW MUCH I NEED TO PAY FIRST TO GET THIS $7000; and l Laughed. Thanks for making my time pass funny while I am having my wonderful coffee :-) Guyz dont believe this. Try in some Casinos to get the FREE money:-) where you may get some chances to make FREE money.
Is there any team in USA to deal with this kind scamers / a way to trace these guys?
