So like a lot of you I got a call by an auto dialer that when I followed the directions transferred me to a guy Named Jeffery Brown. He said I had been awarded a grant from the US government and that I could collect it one of two ways, come to the office at this address or they could direct deposit it. I asked if they had an office in my area and he said no just this one. I then told him I could not come in and get the money and that I was not comfortable with the direct deposit option as I was not satisfied that this was a true government office. He then proceeded to tell me it was and then hung up on me, which confirmed my suspicions that it was a scam.

This is a scam! They are calling from the Phillipines claiming you won a grant for thousands from the US Govt. They hide their phone number and also offer a 011 code as proof. Do not give them any info. No credit card info especially. Did you recently fill out online forms for free samples? To win a sweepstakes? This is where they got your info. GOOD LUCK.

Yes! I received a call as well and this is the address they give they are claiming they are with the Fed Reserve Bank?........please give feedback on this...it will be appreciated.
