I to, received a call from this number.  They said I was eligible for a grant and would receive $7,500 within the next few days.  The only thing I had to do was to give them my bank information.  Obviously, I was suspicious and did not comply.  I tried to get as much information out of them as I could, but the man I was speaking to was getting very frustrated with me, it was very comical.

This just happened to me. They said I would get $2000 because I had paid my taxes in time. I asked if this was part of the stimulus check. The guy who had a very thick accent kept repeating that he needed my information and would not answer any of my questions. I,unfortunatley, gave all the information including my bank account number and routing information. I tried to call the number he gave me to call back and it asked me for a series of numbers in order to get through. I am now in the process of closing my bank account. When I called the bank they advised that this was  huge and ongoing same. THE IRS DOES NOT CALL, EVER. THEY DO NOT EVEN CALL IF THEY ARE GOING TO AUDIT YOU. THEY WILL SEND LETTERS IF THEY EVER NEED TO CONTACT YOU.  NOR DOES THE GOVERNMENT REWARD YOU FOR PAYING YOUR TAXES. NOR DO THEY GIVE YOU UNSOLICITED MONEY.

I received a call today from a gentleman named Austin Kufu. He said I was approved for a grant of $5000.00 for paying my taxes on time and for never filing a bankruptcy. He asked for my account number, I didn't give it to him obviously. He did give me a contact number of 209-624-8480 and an address of HHH Building S.W. 200 Independence Ave. Washington DC 20201, and a website of WWW.GRANTS.GOV.

Guy called and said it was SS so i heard him out told me i have a $7500 government grant in my name, then verified my bank info and told them it was $29.95 for a Bank of America processing fee and it will appear on my bank statement. # came up at 331, and the number he gave me to call back was (204) 668-1100. He knew my name and address very sketchy!

This guy calls me from work and says I have a grant waiting, his name is Christopher ID #00315. I Googled the number (204) 668-1100 and got this site. This guy sounded African, possilby Kenyan telling me its another 509 scam. He knew my name and address and somehow this was unsettling. He got agitated by my inquiries and hung up.

be carful guys.  the number appeared on my phone as "331"
