I recieved the same letter and I cant seem to get in touch with anyone. I did apply for grant because I am in school. One grant had the option finacial goals on the application. I selected personal, but there was an option for upgrading houses. Maybe they get your information threw some type of grant you have already applied for.The check came from CitiBank so I am going to check threw them. Also go check with Better Business and see what they can tell us. Happy ***ting, I persolaly hope and pray it is real!

i got the same letter! i called the bank and they said there was a block on the check and they couldn't give me any info. and i called the 289 number and talked to someone who told me i needed to deposit the money in to my account and pull the fee money and moneygram it back to them. it sure sounds like a scam to me... i know there is plenty of them out there with fake checks and what not. when i was looking for a roommate online i got SEVERAL emails of****ential roommates claiming to be out of the country and were being relocated for work they told me they would be sending me a cashiers check for deposit and their entire stay... once i received i was supposed to deposit it in to my bank account and only keep the deposit costs and 1st months rent, the rest of the money i was supposed to wire back to them for their traveling expenses to get here. How the scam works is that you just deposited a fraudulent check in to your account and they don't realize its fake until a couple weeks later (after you already pulled money out and sent it back to the "potential roommate")... and now you are held responsible for the missing funds.

i got the same letter as you all, except when i called the # on the check it really had the funds in there. i am too scared to cash it, besides they want you to cash it in YOUR account. that sounds funny to me. then after all of that they need you to send the $1950 via money gram ONLY to leslie gonza***. wierd, but i want $37,000. my next step is look up the banks # and call them

where are you guys located anyway?... i am in oregon. I wonder how they really "selected" us and how "random" it really was. the only thing i have done lately is followed one of those ****** "congratulations you have won a $500 gift card to Target" things on the internet (that never goes anywhere)... im wondering if that is where they got my info... ?

What should I do??

i got a letter stating that "my Business/Home Improvement Grant of $37,000.00 was deposited into an escrow account pending claim." enclosed was a check for $3,950.30 to pay "fees and taxes". don't really know what to think about it but im thinking it cannot be good after all the other comments i have read. will call tomorrow to find some facts.

got the same letter said that i needed to respond by the 2nd of December.  No one answered during business hours but I got someone when I called at 7:30am and got an asian guy well sounded that way.  He said to cal lback in an hour when they were open.  I am trying to do research on the company but no luck so far.  Not sure if this is a scam or not.

hay i go the same letter. I keep calling the number but no one answers. can some one tell me if this is a scam or not. i called the bank and they varified that the check is good. im not sure if this is a scam or not

Not a call, but a letter stating that I won a grant and it included a check for $3950.30 for "fees and taxes". I am supposed to call the above number to "activate my account". Is this a scam?
