Received Call from 2024369932, Federal Grants Department selected to receive $7500 Grant - SCAM.
I was called by a person with foreign accent and told I have been selected to receive $7500 Grant. He said he is from Federal Grants Department (sic!) and I have been chosen because I paid taxes on time and no bankruptcy! Wanted to know how I wished to have the grant paid out to me... (Great! So fast!!) by cash, in my checking account or in my credit card account!
I thought to test this scam out and said I wanted to receive by cash. at that point is was the end of there business day so they asked me to call back which I did the next day. The lady asked me for my Claim #SM295 then proceeded to direct me to go to nearest Western Union with $289 (security deposit!)and call once I send $289, I will receive instruction to receive grant by cash from WU! At that point I asked the woman why didn't they inform us of that yesterday? she told me F*** You lady you don't want the grant I'm not going to force you and hung up. I immediately CALLED BACK AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER I THEN WAS CURSED OUT ..

There are no fees associated with applying or receiving a Government Grant. US Government Grant is not available to individuals for any personal use.
Its only rarely that individual grants are given and only for specific approved purposes like social work.
(No grant is available for funding your education or for any personal use. If someone calls and offers US Government Grant it's a SCAM)

Every business that need a grant need to apply at :
www.grants.gov/applicants/apply-for-grants.html.
There is a lengthy evaluation process and the applicant is given a login id to access and track status of his application.
Govt. departments will never call someone and inform that a grant has been approved.
If you have NOT submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it's a scam. Grant money is not given over the phone for a fee.
If you have submitted an application for a government grant and someone claims you have been awarded one, it's still a scam.
You will be informed of your award by a letter which you will receive by mail. You will also be able to see the Award Status at: www.grants.gov/web/grants/applicants/track-my-application.html
