Didn't answer this, don't know number.  Looked up and told a scam

I just received a call from this number but promptly realized it was one that I did not want to answer.  Hopefully someone will stop them from calling people and trying to scam them out of money!

I got a call from a guy named: Alex Cooper number 202-288-7352, He told me congrats you have been selected for a free grant of $7,000.00. Your grant will be sent to you either by direct deposited, threw your credit card, or threw western union. I told him I would like it threw western union. He gave me my verification #NN175. He then told me that I would have to confirm my information threw his supervisor Carrol Merency. Then he gave me her number: 202-738-4217 to call her on. She told me that I would have to go to a cvs, or 7-11, to get a green moneypak. (witch by the way the green moneypak are real) but she wanted me to call her back after I got the moneypak to pay $310 to verify that I am who I say I am. and that the $310 would be paid back on the 7,000.00 dollar grant that I am suppose to get. Witch would make my total grant $7,310.00. I told her I would give her a call back... I then called a few people who said its to good to be true. there is no way that you should have to pay money for a free grant. So I then called Carol back and asked her why I would have to pay the $310.00 to her and she told me once more that it was because they needed it to verify that I am who I say I am. So I then asked her if the $310.00 could be taken off the grant money and she said that since the money is coming from the government that she could not take off the $310.00 that it could only be out of my pocket. But that I would get the $310.00 back on my grant only threw Western Union..


I don't know for sure it is a SCAM but I am pretty positive that it is a SCAM!!!!!

So people please do not send your money to anyone, you should not have to pay anything for a free grant!!
