Received Call from 2025597968, United states Grant department. U.S isn't giving money away for free.
A man or woman with a deep accent will call and tell you they are from the united states grant department because you have great credit. For me this is completely weird because one I've never applied for a grant and i know too well the U.S isnt giving them away for free especially to someone with terrible credit.

It would be quite easy to figure out the fact that the call is nothing but scam, if we could ask the caller a few simple questions.
‘Which Govt office is releasing the Grant?’, ‘Where is it located?’, ‘I would rather accept the loan by check from the office directly’, ‘Where are you located?’, ‘Why do you sound like someone from abroad, maybe from India or Pakistan?!’
The scammers will not have plain answers that we expect them to provide and would beat around the bush. Grill them further on location of office and landmarks nearby, the caller will be at the sea!
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.
