US Treasury Grant Dept a solicitor called me on my cell phone telling me that I was being awarded an 8,400. grant from the US Treasury Dept.& then asked for personal account information to deposit money.He is supposed to ca Washington, District of Columbia
I received a call on my cell phone 1-11-2013 telling me that I had been awarded a grant in the sum of $8,400.00. HE said that the US Treasury had randomly picked my name and I could use the GRANT how ever I wanted. Never have to pay it back. HE was to hard to understand so I asked him to call me back tomorrow 1-12-2013. He pushed for more personal information bank account numbers, card numbers he even said that the money could be put on a Wal-Mart card. Again I told him to call me tomorrow. I now know it is a scam and I wont be answering his call.

A Mrs. KAREN JONES also called me about a gov. grant in which ONLY 15000 people were being selected to recieve. Before calling her I had gotten a call from a man from India telling me to contact his supervisor, his number appeared on my phone,220-666-6600, when i called it back the number was disconnected. Her number was 202-470-1385, she told me i had to send $408 via Western Union and that she would stay on the line while I did this, however when I asked if I could pay once the grant went through she snapped at me saying she would not be able to send me money if I didn't send her money. I then proceeded to tell her it sounded like a scam and she hung up. I hope others are reading these posts before giving info, because i failed at doing so, Because I have been applying for grants for college, and now have to pay for a new card. Thank GOD my account balance was zero on my pre-paid card.
