(253) 292-2589

I received a call on my home from work saying I was selected for a $7,000 US government grant because I filed my taxes properly for three years in a row LOL. Then I humored the obviously non english speaking person and let this Jackie Smith (yeah right) finish her story. She gave me a grant code. She proceeded to ask me for a zero or negative balance account or credit card. I kindly told her that would not happen in this life time. I proceeded to ask her how I knew this was legit. I said its mightly strange you are calling me from an UNKNOWN number. I have to tell you this is one of the best schemes I've heard in a while. My wife (not so smart) would have fell for this in a heart beat. I hope Jackie and Michelle AKA Sukhingy and Mukunda get their justice. I pity the less witty. She almost had me going.

These ****s just scammed my poor sick ***her out of $99 using that dumb US Federal Bank scrpit that they have!! What can we do to stop these people and report them? The number they are currently using is 202 621 0886 and some lady named "Nancy Smith" is answering the phone. These people are f*cking s***!!!!

Same thing just happened to me.  As I had her on the phone I did my research and found this.  I was agreeing to everything and said to send me a check, and then told me I had to make a donation of $99.00 to Asia.  I asked her to send me information about the grant, and she said she couldn't because there was too many scams going on.  That is the reason I told her that I need to know everything before I even donated to INDO.wow, I am shock

Scam scam scam scam need I say more? Ok scam. they called me to and when I asked to send me the money first after reading the postings here John Adams with an indian accent how original got loud with me as well telling me he is only a verifyer and that he can only tell the bank to release the money once the wire has been sent and he can only give me the info  for the wire transfer when I get to western union. I refused so I am no longer eligable for the grant. they should ****!!!!!!!!! or hit by another wave!!!

Wow it is the same thing everywhere I have received the same thing and I just listened to everything that he had to say and as soon as I told him that I am recording this conversation and that I will report him to fbi he ***g up the phone and called me the next day telling to be aware of scam artist out there but can you please make a donation to india for 99 dollars I just ***g up and till today he never called backWow that phone number is bad newsGood luck everyone

same thing and same person called me...and unfortunately i gave all the Info...what are consequences of if Please let me know..

i got this phone call from a james boston with anmerican law firm so he said??? he said that they were pressing charges aganist me  for not having fund in my account for some cash advance that was on the internet i call the police cause this would not stop calling me. i had a call form that same $5000 grant thing a while back and now i had this guy call me from this number 1-760-514-0111 and also when he called back it was this number +05-258-3*** and this number +05-256-5563 this guy custed me and every thing

I gave them only my name and address, told them if they wanted to mail me a check that would be fine. I am unemployed...I have nothing, what can they take, my iden***y? Good I was wanting to be a no one these days!

mom always said if it was too good to be true....yeah well these idiots called the wrong lady. Gave them nothing but this needs to stop. What number do we call to report this scam? I got the same story on the phone as everyone else here. same number to call 202-684-6892

Just received a call from John Adams and he said he was from the US Gov't Grant department and that I was selected to receive a $7000 grant. He verified my address, name, b-day. He wanted to know which account I wanted my money to go to my bank acct to get the funds wired too or a debit card acct. To me they were of the same account and was not giving anyone that information. So he opted to say that they can send the funds via Certified Mail via FEDEX by next business day which I said okay. The next process was for me to call back the following number (202)684-6892 and give them my Grant Confirmation# which I did and spoke with another Indian personnel he wanted to verify what the first person had went over with me then sprung the news about the donation to the Indo American Foundation I had asked for their website and was told that it was under construction. I so happen to be sitting next to my computer and googled the foundation to see that it came up down in Houston Texas so I sat here and was calling the numbers of the President and other members of course some of the numbers were disconnected or no answer. I was told that the funds $99 must be sent via Western Union I said well my car is out of commission at the moment but as soon as I can get to the Western Union then I will make the donation. This is not what he wanted to hear he s****ed getting loud and s****ing talking over me and right then I knew it was a scam. He mentioned that they will be closed until Jan 2nd 2010 and to call after that date to try and get the funds at the point. Callers beware of this scam if the Government was going to send out a grant to us there would be some posting about donations to help the people here in the states that are suffering due to this economy I rather help my own people that are less fortunate then some other 3rd world country.

Just received a call from Steve Walls and he said he was from the US Gov't Grant department and that we were selected to receive a $5000 grant. He verified my address, name, b-day and last 4 of my SSN. He wanted to know which account i wanted my money to go to and I gave him a prepaid debit card # bc i wasn't sure if this was real....well it is a scam. William called me back today and said that in order to get the $5000 i had to make a small donation to an overseas charity, showing that i was willing to help the less fortunate and i would then get the money. I am really scared now and hope that nothing bad happens to my account information or my iden***y.

Same thing - Dude calls me ans says I was selected to get $7,000, all I had to do was Western Union some money to Akash Akash in India, Delhi ($99, also) Then he tells me to confirm by calling: 1 802-375-7441 and giving them my Grant Acceptance # DV___ ,  wow almost bought it, but the ya he says the money will go to the Indo American Charity Foundation.....

I received a call from a Jacquelyn ID #JK9854 who also offered a $7,000 government grant. I was to call back 253-292-2589.  When I found this information on line I told her I didn't intend to make a contribution to any overseas charity and ***g up.

I recive a phone call from Jackline with ID JK9854 and confirmation number 8543G. I recently applied for the government grant and some how she got all information.  She told me that she is verifying the application and I need to tell her last four of my SSN and I gave my last 4 digit ***, I shouldn't do that!!!, then she told me my birth date and address and all other info. After that she told me that your call is recorded and say Yes or No only for the verification of your address.Today I just wanted to make sure regarding the phone call and I just Google this number 253-292-2589 and found the scam. I am not sure what she is going to do with my last 4 digit of the SSN. Do I need to report this as a Scam to the credit union and IRS and terminate the SSN and ask for new?She also asked my bank account number to deposit the fund, but I told her that you can send me the check.  I don't think, I need to give you the bank account number. Beware of such Scam.  Not sure, how much I am in trouble at this moment!!!!

I got a call from a woman named Michelle saying she is from US Grants dept and that i have been selected to receive $5000 grant to never be repaid and not taxable and i shouldnt use it for illegal purpose and asked for my birthdate and ssn digits. She asked for my account number, since i didnt have one she asked for my credit or debit card details and since i said i dont have any of these, she just asked to call back this number to get the checkno.

My husband JUST called me from work and said that a Michelle Wilson from the US Government Grant Dept just called him on his cell phone and said that he had gotten a grant that he had applied for on the internet, which he had done, anyways it was in the ammount of $5000 dollars and that they needed his account number to deposit the funds... he GAVE it to them!!! He also gave them his address, middle name, date of birth and last 4 digits of his SS#, ***!!! At the end of the call they said that he needed to make a charity donation of $99 to an overseas charity and they gave him this name, Sacish ***ar in Delhi India and that he was to send the $99 ASAP by Western Union. He said he asked them what do I have to do that for? And they told him that it shows the government that you are willing to help others that are less fortunate, just as the government is going to do for you! Well needless to say I was MAD! And immediatly knew it was a SCAM! He is now on the phone with our bank. WATCH OUT!!!

oh god...this scam is just spreading like anything....i got this call a few minutes b4 and she said i am eligible to receive $5000 that i shouldnot use for illegal purposes. she asked for my account details and since i didnt have one , she just asked to call back this number to get the check no. god,i am scared too.

this happen to me today as well. i could hardly understand a word they said. ask me about my birth date and every thing. they had said i was able to recive 5000 dollers. man now im scard

On June 12, 2009 Shannon Shelton called me and said I was eligible for a grant of $8000, I asked her for the address and she gave me 200 Independence, Washington, DC 20201 then gave me a confirm # and she then asked for my birthday and i told her if she was with the government she should know it. I then called this number to see who it was and spoke to a woman then to a man named Frank and he said to get the grant I would have to make a donation to a charity which was overseas to send $99 dollars to Amil Mittal, India Delhi to Western Union the money then call him back, I never had any intensions of doing this because I figured it was a scam.  I wish we could turn these people in!
