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.

I received a call with the same story today and was given a different number to call back, but instead, I contacted the authorities to report the incident.
I had a similar experience on 8/05/2010, and after reading these reviews, I decided not to call back. It's essential to exercise caution and avoid sharing personal information with unknown callers.
