US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

I got a call from 234566780 and this person with this very heavy indian accent claimed that he worked for the federal government. He said that I was one of those lucky individuals chosen to receive a grant of $7000 since I dont bave a criminal record and something about bankruptcy. He then asked
me how id like to receive the
money. I said cash of course. I
was given pin and a number to
call.

When I called the number (206-453-0018) this other man said I needed to purchase some card at dollar tree or walgreens and that I needed to deposit $200 inorder to get the grant. I was like I don't have $200. He said "mam you can't get the grant without the deposit. " this was definitely a scam. Why did I have to deposit money to get money. No sense.
