I just received a call from 000-000-0000, with a foreign man asking to speak with (my first name only). He then proceeded to tell me that the government is giving me 7000$ of grant money. He gave me a confirmation # WG1016, and told me to call his manager at 202-407-9093. When i called the number, a foreign lady answered"hello". I told her that i was calling about grant money, she asked for conf.#, then told me to go to a western union with my cell phone, my state I.D. Card, and 300$. She said i would get the 7000$ = the 300$ back within 15 minutes. Thats when i googled it and found similar stories. It's a scam!!!
