If you get a phone call saying that people are authorized to give away US Grant money and you have been selected to receive it, it is a fraud that the FBI have been working for over 2 years to uncover. Millions of people have lost money.....usually less than a couple hundred dollars, but you WILL NOT receive a valid check from the US government. It looks real, and I think the employees BELIEVE the checks are real, but they are not, and if you try to cash it you will be charged with an NSF fee, and you will not get any of your money back that you sent in order to receive the check in the first place. They are operating out of this area code, as well as a few others in the DC area. BE ware! US Grant money can ONLY be received by filling out the grant paperwork and being accepted..... there is NO short cut, no matter what they say to try to convince you that you have been selected to receive it.
They said they were provided the number from a database and were offering information on how to get money from the government. However, could not really understand the caller due to accent. She hung up after I asked question after question.
Someone just called asking for the model on our copier to send out a new manual. I told her we do not have an account with them and she said, "Thats right you B*tch", and I hung up the phone. She called back and I did not answer.
