Stop the Fake Government Grant Spam!
Summary — +12027381801
Expert Opinion
Most of these reports point to a classic grant‑money scam masquerading as a U.S. government offer. The callers consistently claim a $9,000 grant, ask for personal or banking details, and disappear when pressed. Block the number, never share sensitive info, and report the incident to the FTC or your carrier’s spam service. If you’re ever uncertain, hang up and verify through official agency websites—not via a phone call. Using call‑blocking apps and keeping your contact info private are the simplest defenses against this relentless telemarketing fraud.
