Expert Opinion
Watch out for any unsolicited call claiming a government grant and demanding money up front. Scammers often use official‑sounding names, pressure you to pay fees via Western Union, MoneyGram, or prepaid cards, and ask for personal banking details. Hang up, block the number, and report it to the FTC or your local consumer protection agency. Never share account numbers or send cash before verifying the agency through official channels. If you’ve already given information, monitor your accounts for unauthorized activity and consider a fraud alert. Stay skeptical, verify independently, and protect your personal data.

The caller claimed that I would receive $7,500 in grant money, but only if I paid $150 through Western Union first.
