First, I got a call from Texas number(512-634-0520). A guy with Indian accent, said that I have $9750 grant from US treasury. Then he gave me an approval number and the cash manager's number (646-374-8471) to call and use approval number to get the cash, I did call 1-646-374-8471 and the guy said for me to receive the cash by Western Union at Wal-Mart I should pay $100! I told him that I am paying nobody any money just because they are offering me money. I told him this was a scam. I told him to go screw himself.
Stated I had a grant for 9,000 some odd dollars and I told them they could send a check. Was instructed to call my "Senior Cash Advisor". These keep getting more funny by the day.
Told me I had a government grant of $9000.
Using 9,000 grant and said I would get my money through Western Union after paying a one time payment of $200!!

I received a call from a male with an Indian accent from phone number 646-43934151 telling me that the treasury department was giving me a grant in the amount of $9750. Then he gave me a code and a number to call that he claimed to be Western Union. He then gave me a code and instructed me to call the number (646-374-8471). I called 3 times and it would pick up and I could hear voices in the background then a beep but nothing after that. Since I did not really talk to someone the only thing that I am out is my time. Update: I received a call from the 646-374-8471 and he asked me for the purpose of the call (again with an Indian accent) and he said "Do you have $100 to confirm your number?" I told him that I called Western Union and there is no charge to receive money, only send it. I decided to change this into a complaint and plan on contacting the treasury department and the FBI to file a formal complaint.
