It is spam.

They are now doing a "Google Play grant scam" in which they have you buy $360 of Google Play gift cards. They then have you give them the cards nuumber so they can call Google rep.

To release $14,000 in grant money to your bank account. Obviously that call to google is never made and with the card numbers they have they can cash in on your money.
Jay

I just received a call such as this from a Keith Parker he gave me a government ID#KP55721
Said he's the grant manager .
Grant amount I was to have transfered into my acct. 14,567.00 for a registration fee threw cards of 350.00

The call back number was 240-345-0183
Told me 1000 people were chosen to receive this individual demographic survey grant


Beware it sounds good and they prey on people like me with no money .. Would of been nice too

I received an email from Mrs.Lou Ann Allred,regarding a Google grant. I sent an email to Mr. Travis Moxley ,as directed,to receive the grant. I didn't receive any response. I decided to check into the validity by doing a Google search for Mrs. Lou Ann Allred,only to find that this is a hoax. Please pass this information on ,so that no one will fall for this malicious hoax.

Just received the email solicitation--Knowing it is too good to be true and forwarded to you. Why so many good people set their hearts to helping and then get ripped off by these SCAM artists. Laws should be more stringent on Capture and identification of these purveyors of Immoral Concepts.
PS -Thanks for the Immediate reply and also had checked with Snopes.
