7000 Dollars or 7K Government Grant Phone Scams

Scammers are calling persons and telling them that they qualify for a $7000 or 7K government grant. The amount may change. Please note that this is a scam and there is no $7000 government grant. The scammers will ask you to send money via Western Union, Moneygram, Prepaid debit, iTunes Card, or ask you for your credit card information, which they claim they will need for the payment of the processing fee, taxes or delivery fee.

The frequency of these $7k for life scam calls have increased dramatically over the past couple of weeks. It’s gone from a few each week to at least three every day. Most annoying!

Every day I get 2-3 sometimes 5-8 calls from the 202 $7000 scam. How can they be blocked since there re many different numbers that are used for the 202 code?

Same recording: one day from Georgia, next day from Colorado. Why would a recording "call" a stranger? There's a special place in h**l for these losers. It goes to voice mail, then I dump it.

Just received a phone call saying I received a $7000 grant. Gave me a I’d #. Told me to go to the nearest location and then call them when I got there. The number I was supposed to call back was 914-340-4476. The number that initially called me was 202-187-3851.
