Received three calls today, didn’t answer. Female robotic voice: "starting enforcement action which has been executed by the US Treasury against your social security number. Ignoring this would be an intentional attempt to avoid initial appearances before the magistrate jud or exempt jury for 8 federal criminal offense. So before this matter go to federal claims courthouse or you get rested, kindly press 1 and speak to an officer now."

I included my best guesstimate at the dictation, however, proper English definitely was not used in the creation of this recording. I will keep the recordings.

Type of a scam Government Grant

I received a call from this number, claiming that they were from the US Treasury. They were looking to speak to my mother, but since I am her power of Attorney, I took the call. They told me that they had a check for $8,000,000 that they were going to send to her, but they needed $499 to process it. It sounded strange to me, and I told them that they wouldn’t be getting any information from me unless they sent me information. They told me that my mother had started filling out information for this check, but had never finished, and they needed her information. I told them again that they could send it to me and I would look it over, and then they hung up on me.

Type of a scam Government Grant

Received five (5) calls from 1952290786 number and when I finally answered they said that I have been randomly selected for a once in a lifetime grant of $9,000 from the US Government. The gentleman that called me had a South East Asian accent, possibly Indian, and sounded like he was reading from a script. He asked if I would like to receive the grant money by Money Order, Cash, or Direct Deposit. The cash option allowed me to pick up the money at Western Union or Wal-Mart. I selected the money order. The called then provided a Grant code (GG-1458) and a phone number (315-623-0544) that I would need to call in order to talk to a US Treasury Account Manager. I did not call that number.

I went online to check on the status of this 315 phone number and the first thing that came up was a link to this site (https://www.bbb.org/scamtracker/detail/grantscam-00729-PR/243613) in which someone else had already reported the same scam. That entry was in July and this scam is still active.

I also googled the number that called me and there are reports of this number (1-952-290-786) as a scam number as well.

I received a call from this number (and have several times previously but never indulged) and a female with thick foreign accent told me the US Treasury had a grant for me for $9000.00 I was to receive this because I pay my bills on time. I told her the US govt never just gives money away! There were three options on how to get this money. So, to play along, I selected the third option, to receive it via Western Union. The first two was to provide my checking account or a credit card….ha ha ha. No way lady. Anyway, after giving me instructions several times to call 315-623-0544 in order to collect my grant after I gave them my code "AD501", I would get the money. I had to hang up on her and then tried the number. No answer but the message was something about this Google subscriber is not available………

HOPEFULLY – I did not assist in setting up a daisy chain phone scam but I was dying to know how far this would go. These folks have no shame.

Total money lost $400

Type of a scam Government Grant

On June 5, I received an email saying I had some money coming to me through a government grant from the US Treasury. We began talking and I was instructed to buy a STEAM card for $200 for fees, which I was told would be refunded, for the $9,000 grant. I tried to get a STEAM card but the store didn’t have any so they told me to get a Google Play card. After doing so, I was then told for verification purposes they needed $399. When I told the man, who had a heavy foreign accent and his name was Wilson, that I didn’t have that, he put me on hold and came back and said his supervisor approved them accepting half of that or $200. When I told him I didn’t have that either, he encouraged me to try to borrow money from friends and family. I was able to come up with that and sent it as well. Then I called back to see when I would be getting my money. That’s when he became rude and asked me why I was questioning him. That’s when I knew I had been scammed. I started asking him more questions and he hung up on me. I called back about 15 times until they blocked my number.  The email was full of reference numbers and stuff that made it look very legitimate.  It said I had been picked for this grant after participating in a survey from October 2017.
