Yesterday received a phone call saying I qualified for a $9000.00 USGov. Grant. I was given the phone number 646-902-5053 and an access code to give that number. I did not call. Today I received a call from the same person as yesterday @ 646-517-4605 and told to call right now. I did call and spoke with Nisha who told me to go to the nearest Western Union and register with a security deposit of $250.00. Once verified that I paid they would send me a text with code to receive my $9000 plus $250.00. I felt this was a scam and reported it.
