They claim there is a government grant for me of 9,000.00...but in order for me to register with the federal trade commission I have to purchase a 250.00 itunes card???? what the heck is this? Is this a scam? I would like to report them if it is.  I told her I am not buying anything to register with the federal trade commision.

Go the same call that there is a $9000 grant that can be Western Union or money gram but not paypal. Can have my credit card number to send to or however.
Claims to be US Government Grants. I don't know if is hoax or what.

No it's not a scam. Also Santa Claus stands at street corners giving out $100 bills every day.  Just not on the days you happen to be passing. Believe what you will.

Stated that I was getting a $9000 grant from the federal government. Wanted my credit card or bank info. Sorry but I don't give that info out.

Wanted me to go to Western Union to pick up $9,250. Of which I was supposed to use $250. To buy gift card and the rest was my grant.
Scam.
Grants are not randomly awarded, you. Have to apply. Also, they don't ask for bank or credit card info.

Wants me to go to store and purchase an iTunes card in the amount of $250.00   Call him (Jack Martin) back at 202-780-5896 ext 101 and will get the grant money sent to me

They asked me for money to register

I received the call for the $9000 grant I gave them my bank information I recently talked to a few people and close down my account but they are still calling me pretty much pressuring me to wire them $250

they ask me to register my name and i purchase the itune gift card and now i recieved the $9250 thank you barack obama

I got a call today from a lady stating that I am getting a grant for 9000.00. she gave me a confirmation code and told me to call 202-780-5896 really bro. I am not calling that number, somebody need to stop these people.

They wanted me to call them back 202 780 5896 to get a $9,000 grant.  i am not calling.

Got a call from this number saying that I was eligible for $9000 in grant money.  I just had to buy a $250 iTunes card.  Please investigate this.

Says they have a 9000 grant for me.  Callers indian accent was so thick I could hardly understand her.  I wish there were a way to toss these phonys in jail.

I got same call.......i hate scammers!!!

I received a call from an unknown number stating I'm eligible for federal grant for $9,000 and they wanted to know how best to give it to me - money gram or directly in my bank account. When asked what the parameters where around the grant she again asked me how I wish to receive it. Never said where they were calling from. So I asked to call back and she gave me a money confirmation number and this 202-780-5896 number and emphasized that I must call this number back.

i got the money ........... this is not a scam

guys just try ,,,,,,, i got all my money back i didnt give any of my account ,,,,, cash in hand, happy grants

Hey, look folks.  Two positive posts in three minutes.  The scammers are obviously monitoring the site and hoping their ridiculous posts will fool people into believing the scam is real.  Like the Government will cold call you to tell you you have got a grant.  If there was such a thing they would write and there would be lots of hoops to jump through before you got it.  Do you think the government would ask you to collect such a grant from Wells Fargo or buy an iTunes voucher to pay charges??  These thieving Asians must think Americans are stupid.

Someone called me from that number stating they owe me $9000 and for me to go to dollar general to buy an iTunes card for $250 to register my name with them.

You actually received this?
