I too received a phone call from Advantage America telling me I was selected to receive a grant from the Government. I asked the man how that is possible since one must apply for a grant. He told me that he worked for the US Government Grant Dept. And their "research dept." was Advantage America and that they selected me because I have been a good tax payer and not a felon and I didn't buy it. My phone call mirror's everyone elses with Indian accents to being given to a Supervisor to verify the story. Both men told me I had nothing to worry about because the phone call was being recorded by the FCC.
Thank goodness I didn't bite. What I did do was immediately send an e-mail to my State Attorney General and make him aware of the scam hitting Idaho.
