Government Grant Scam

24-Aug-2014

Scam Phone Number 2102156445, I was randomly selected by the government because I have no felonies.

Some guy with a heavy accent called and said that I was randomly selected by the government because I have no felonies and have not declared bankruptcy. He said 2000 americans get this grant every year and not to try to get it again because it is a once in a lifetime thing. Tried to sound legit saying that the money can not be used for illegal purposes it is only to help with bills.

He already had my address and asked me to verify. Asked how I wanted the money and when I told him to mail it he told me to call 206-905-9862 and told me to write down a confirmation number, and call his manager, William Walter to confirm.

He then told me he was confirming me in his computer. ?? I did not give the guy any personal information or call the number back but he must have done a background check or something because he had info about me, which freaks me out.

I did a reverse search of the first number, and it's a mobile number out of San Antonio, TX. The second number is a landline out of Seattle, WA.

It’s quite easy to figure out the fact that the call is nothing but scam, if we could ask the caller a few simple questions.

‘Which Govt office is releasing the Grant?’, ‘Where is it located?’, ‘I would rather accept the loan by check from the office directly’, ‘Where are you located?’, ‘Why do you sound like someone from abroad, maybe from India or Pakistan?!’

The scammers will not have plain answers that we expect them to provide and would beat around the bush. Grill them further on location of office and landmarks nearby, the caller will be at the sea!

There are no fees associated with applying or receiving a Government Grant. US Government Grant is not available to individuals for any personal use!! Its only rarely that individual grants are given and only for specific approved purposes like social work.

(No grant is available for funding your education or for any personal use. If someone calls and offers US Government Grant it’s a SCAM)

Read: www.grants.gov/web/grants/support/general-support/grant-fraud.html

Every business that need a grant need to apply at :
www.grants.gov/applicants/apply-for-grants.html

There is a lengthy evaluation process and the applicant is given a login id to access and track status of his application.

Govt. departments will never call someone and inform that a grant has been approved.

If you have NOT submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it’s a scam. Grant money is not given over the phone for a fee.

If you have submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it’s still a scam.

You will be informed of your award by a letter which you will receive by mail. You will also be able to see the Award Status at: www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/track-my-application.html
