What to Know About the $9K Grant Scam!
Summary — +13602030367
Expert Opinion
Earlier today a wave of reports surfaced about calls from +13602030367 promising a $9,000 government grant in exchange for a $250 activation fee. The pattern is unmistakable: callers claim affiliation with a federal agency, provide a vague reference code, and pressure recipients to pay upfront. Consumers should treat any unsolicited offer that asks for money before a benefit as a red flag. Hang up, block the number, and verify any legitimate grant through official agency websites—not a cold‑call. If you’ve already paid, contact your bank to dispute the charge and report the incident to the FTC.
