Type of a scam Government Grant

I got a call today from a man named john Williams who claimed to be an employee of the u.s government and that I had been chosen for a one time grant of 9200 and all I would have to do is activate a registration card from Wal-Mart. They asked how I wanted my money sent I told the man that I could only receive through money gram because my wallet was lost in the latest flooding. It wasn’t until I told my husband about this that we did research on this kind of thing and come to find out that just an hour earlier a woman from my town was targeted and fell for it. They said you had to put 250 dollars on a iTunes card. I told them that their name numbers and thier "government badge number" would be reported. So here you go folks….definitely think twice

Type of a scam Government Grant

I got a call from a woman with a strong East Indian accent claiming to have a government grant from the U.S. government in the amount of $9000.00 that was awarded to me-she had my address, name phone number and date of birth-(scary) then she told me to call 360-819-1130 and give a confirmation code #L121 to talk to her senior accountant and pay a small fee of 250-I asked her if it was two hundred and fifty dollars, and she said no its a minimal fee of "two dollars and fifty" to begin the refund process. I called the number and gave the confirmation number and a man (with a strong East Indian accent) said I would have to pay $250.oo dollars to begin the payment process etc. I said to him how many people are you ripping off and he said "shut the *** up" I hung up. It is scary to know that these people look at Americans as greedy, money hungry, stupid gullible people who they are so quick to rip off-Also it is scary to know that they have my address- If I end up killed please go after them for me!
