Received a message on my cell phone from someone stating their name was Donald Miller stating something about a gov't grant. I did not apply for any grant.
A Pakistani accent informing me that I have been chosen to receive a U.S. Government grant for paying my taxes on time and not having a criminal record.

I work for DHS and with over 100thousand complaints of people who have fallen for this scam every bit of admissible evidence helps.
Download a recording app or use speakerphone tell them you are recording so you can remember your luckiest day. Let them give the full speach. DO NOT GIVE OUT PERSONAL IMFORMATION.

Help put these people in prison as the money is usually used to support terrorism or drug trafficking.
Caller left a digital voicemail stating they were from the department of treasury and I could face legal action if call not returned.. left this number to call back and "talk to a federal agent"
A person called and said they were from IRS and that I owed $750.00 and if I did not pay they would see me
in court. I told them to mail me the paper work and I would be happy to pay what I owed. which is nothing!
