First spoke with a lady,(202)657-5195, who when asked for information on her representation to solidify securities on my end. She rudely directed me to said caller (Patrick Williams). When I spoke with "Mr. Williams" on how I may verify whether or not my $200 for registration costs was in fact going to the US Government, he then got defensive stating there are others who would want this money attempting to scare me into impulsive decisions. This of course made me uncomfortable so I ended the call. He also gave a verification number it is LP225. his phone # is (202) 470-0827

Received a call from this number from someone who sounded like he was around 14 years old, had a foreign accent, and claimed to be with the US government. I immediately informed him that I was aware this was a scam and would be reporting him.

I recieved a call from 202-177-7222 (there is no 177 exchange, anywhere in the US, much less Washington DC). I recieved 5 or 6 calls from these people. Each time the phone is staffed by a person who is barely able to speak english and I had serious difficulty understanding what they were saying and they dumped the call the first 4 or 5 times.
They claim they are calling from Washington DC and that I was awarded a $10,200 US Government Grant FREE and I would never have to pay it back. The money would be coming from the US Federal Reserve Bank and I had two options for recieving the money... Either on a credit card or to a bank account. They claim you can spend the money on whatever you want as long as it is not criminal activity. They asked what I might spend it on. Then they want you to give them your account number and claim the money will be available in 25 minutes.
When I mentioned, I don't use credit cards, he said they could give it to me via my bank account and wanted to know what that number was. I told him it sounded like a SCAM and I could NOT give him my bank information; he quickly offered me a number to call back to and talk to his supervisor, who would then explain all the details to me. Along with the 202-697-9653 number he gave me an "account number" to reference to his supervisor (JB143 - kinda short for an account # the Government would give you).
I then searched the # on the internet and wound up here...
Obvious to me it is a SCAM...
NEVER give your information to someone calling you, who you did not specifically request a call from. I am currently on a JOB hunt and assume they captured my phone number from my resume or other website I input my number to. Furthermore, if you recieve a phone call from a suspicious number or person, attempt to call that number back and see what happens. ANY 1xx exchange is inoperative in the US so it was suspicious to me right away. The call-back # with 697 exchange he gave me I assumed would work, and it did, but apparently, the "supervisor" was busy SCAMMING someone else and it never answered when I called it.
Thanks and BE CAREFUL folks...

This person stated twice he was calling from the US government, and identified him self as James. The background noise made it very obvious he was calling from a call center. He did not get the chance to solicit any information but he did start speaking what sounded like a middle eastern language and asked me if I was familiar with Muslims. I did not engage the caller but told him he would be reported to the authorities immediately.

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!!!!
