Received a call from Mark with the "Federal Trade Commission in Washington, D.C." They received a "Liquidation Notice from the Las Vegas Dream Foundation" Sounds like other similar scams reported under similar Washington DC numbers

Supposed to have won money

My mother got a call from a "Larry Balin" (or "Balion", perhaps) who said he was with Reader's Digest. He told her he was a lawyer who was notifying her that she won $600,000. but to send the money to her, he would need her to send him an insurance check in the amount of 1% of the winnings($6000). He then tried to get her to give her bank account details to him so that he could supposedly arrange her $6000 payment which would then allow him to transfer the $600,000 in prize money to her (yeah, right!).

She tried to ask him for his address to see if he'd give it out. He put her on hold to "ask his secretary" to confirm her address - but then immediately told her that his secretary was out of the office. When my mother said that he'd have to speak to her son, he got very defensive and said that as a lawyer, he would not be allowed to talk to anyone except the official named winner of the prize -- so there was "no use having your son call me".

they claimed to be with some government agency working for the government giving people an opportunity to get back on there feet what it is is a scam so they can get your info they claim they will call you back but never do

They called me at work and gave me Ben Taylor.

I talked to Nancy Anderson at 202-470-1395, Ben at 202-391-0961 and Frank Brock. Funny thing is they all sounded like Iraqis.

Every time I mention a scam somebody hangs up....FBI crack em please? Im tired of seeing this number on my phone

same here its a scam

this person called me telling me that i won a 7,000 dollar grant from a treasury department of u.s. and wanted my account number. i said no. they seemed pretty convincing.

they told me i was getting a fedreul grant

Two Iraq people are calling trying to say that they are from US treasury with 7000 for education grant? Sounds bogus

they called me saying i get a 7,000 dollar grant and now im on the phone with this ben talor which sounds just like toby smith from capital loan network that tryed to scam me yesterday

ha ha its so i said that i have a scam thing through my bank and i need a address so that my bank will allow it and he gave me lip and then told me 1500 pennsyvania ave washington dc 20201 as fast as his little iraqy lips could say it and then told me to go to my nearest western union cuz i had to give them 120.00 for a foundation to receve the 7,000 oh and his name was ben talor and i asked for toby smith the guy they tryed to scam me yesterday so i hope this helps

so sence im bord and have nothing better to do right now i called him back and said that my bank has had reports of scam coming for that address and phone number and he yelled at me telling me that i was not supposted to appove it yet and that its not coming from that address its coming from the federal reserve bank of new york so i said i need that address then and he put me on hold while he googled it and i did the same he told me the address and i said i will call him back

ok my last post i called him back and told him i was at a rite aid with a western union and he told me to get the green slip and to fill out 120.00 in the amount and my info and to send it to anida dass and check india write in delhi sign at the bottem and go pay but tell them thats im sending it to a friend not to the foundation cuz they will charge me 80.00 not the 10.00 so then i told i did and he wanted a ascn i made up one and then he put me on hold then hung up then found out that was not a ascn and called me back to yell at me and tell me i was lying so in the end i didnt get my 7,000 but made a scamer pissed is just as good and i have his number time to start the prank calls ha ha ha ha ha

WOW. THIS IS SCAM. DONT NEVER TRUST.
I got a call today and they told me to deposit 120.00+10.00 tracsaction fee for 7000.00.
I googled it and find this post.

Got a call from someone calling himself Ben Taylor and he was happy to report to me that I had been selected to receive a $7000 grant.  He could not give me a name for the grant other than a US Treasury grant.  Stated that for me to receive it I have to send by Western Union $120. In checking this out by calling the FBI and the US Treasury office to verify this information I was told by both offices that this is a scam. They said they have been receiving calls in the last week or so about this same scam. When asked to talk to Mr Taylors supervisior I was given another male by the name of Justin Long.  Both men are foreigners and can not give any information that I could validate.  They said they were in the  building at 200 Independence Ave in Washington DC and when you do a google search it takes you to the HHS building that is full of doctors.  When I asked them for another business that was in that building they are reporting they are in so I could call and make sure this was on the up and up they could not name another business.  There has to be a way to stop this but from I was told by the Treasury office that there are to many for them to stop.  When you do a phone check it states that it is a land line.

They all had indian accents. Very strong. I asked to speak to someone from the united states and they got offended. Tried to say I was getting
A 7000 grant all. They needed my credit card
Number from my bank account and they would
Deposit the funds into my account. The catch was
I had to go down to the nearest western union and send a money gram to
Some third world country.

me a my girlfriend got a call from this loan company saying we was approved for a 1500 dollar loan but he need a 120.00 lawn and send it to a western and they made it out like they were a reall loan company and so we sent it and foundout the hard way but we will never trust any people thats calling

A foreigner called and said I had won $7,000 in grant money and that he needed to verify some information.
Naturally, he said that there are scams out there and I must be very careful because he is from the A1 department. He asked me where I would like the funds wire to from the US Government (which does not work at 7PM at night), and I gave him an account I have that is no longer viable (it could accept funds but there are no funds in the account). Then he said that I had to write down my approval number (after asking me if I was single, verifying my address, verifying my phone number and then asking me to give him my number that he just gave me, lmbo) and asked if I had a child. After giving me my approval number, he asked me to call Ben Taylor at 202-391-0961 to collect my funds, which would be wired directly into my bank account.
This is about the 7th scam call I have gotten like this in one week. The government cannot do anything about it as they are legally purchasing numbers here in the states (as many legit businesses do) and they cannot prosecute someone who is living in India.
One guy actually admitted he was scamming people in the USA, that he was in India and said that I was so good on the phone, he would like for me to work with his company; he could make me very rich. I told him that I was not into stealing other people's money and asked him if he was Hindu. He said "Yes," but there are Christians and people of all religions who commit sins and he is not proud but he really likes the money. He said that he has to make a living somehow and it is very hard to find work in India.
