I received a call today from 202-738-158. The caller stated they were from the Federal Government and that I was selected among 1500 people to receive $9000 in grant money to spend how I chose. They wanted me to go to a Money Gram store and put up a $250 security deposit. IT IS A SCAM!!!! SCAM!!! SCAM!!! No money is required by the US government when receiving grant money. I called the number back and the same person answered the phone. I told the person "shame on you for lying and stealing from people". I told them that what they do is vile and despicable. The person told me that "I was a failure in life" and hung up in my face. NO government employee in a legitimate position would EVER speak to its customer like that. SCAM>>>SCAM>>>SCAM!!!!
