Received Call from 2192243949, said eligible for $7000 grant and to call another number.
Caller ID was stating Unknown caller and she was an Indian woman also... Was given number to call and have grant processed (219)224-3949 and told to give them DA302 as code... called the number from a different phone and just rang... said it was from Brook, IN when i called it... She asked if wanted cash in hand or direct deposit... when i said cash in hand is when she told me to call her manager at the number above and to "Call Right Back"... I asked her how do i know this is real since you are calling from an unknown number and she said "oh its real"...

Hi Brittani, thanks for exposing this scammer offering non existent grants!
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.
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
