Received a call on the phone and my husband asked me to get on line and go to requestagrant.com. I did this but they wanted my credit card and I thought this was not right so I went back to the lst page and I saw this from goggle and I am sending this to you so you will know that they are doing this by phone in Virginia now. Thank you

I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A PHONE CALL PROMISING GRANT MONEY, OR MONIES FROM PRIVATE INSTITUTES / PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD LIKE TO GIVE MONEY UP TO $25, 000 FROM A POOL OF $50, 000, 000 FROM THE GOVERNMENT, THAT DOES NOT NEED TO BE PAID BACK FOR PERSONS LIKE MYSELF. IT ALL STARTED FROM SUBMITTING MY EMAIL AND PHONE NUMBER, WHILE LOOKING FOR A ALTERNATIVE INCOME BUSINESS TEN MONTHS AGO. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HARASSED WITH THE NIGERIAN " RING " WHO PRETEND TO REPRESENT " THE SECRET SHOPPER " THEY WILL SEND YOU CHECKS THAT LOOK REAL ENOUGH, BUT ARE NOT. THEY WANT YOU TO " CHECK OUT" PRODUCTS FROM WALMART OR JC PENNYS . WALGREENS. YOU KEEP THE PRODUCT AS PARTIAL PAY FOR YOUR EVALUATION.PLUS $400 DOLLARS FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR DOING IT AND YOU MUST IN RETURN SEND THEM ( SECRET SHOPPER COMPANY ) $2700 DOLLARS VIA WESTERN UNION, OUT OF A CHECK THEY HAVE SENT FOR
$4, 820. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE POLICE IN MY AREA, THEY SEEM NOT TO CARE OR ARE IMPOTENT TO DO ANYTHING. SURE . .THEY COME OUT AND TAKE A STATEMENT, BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO PROTECT NAIVE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE DISPARATE FOR CASH AND HAVE NOT THE FUNDS TO EVEN FEED THERE CHILDREN, ONLY TO BE BILKED OUT OF WHATEVER LITTLE FUNDS THEY DO HAVE . . IS THERE NO SHAME IN THIS COUNTRY WHERE THERE ARE FORECLOSURES, AND PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING JUST TO SURVIVE AND MAKE ENDS MEET? THE AUTHORITIES CAN NOT OR WILL NOT HELP YOU. THEY SHOULD AT LEAST PUT TELEVISION WARNINGS TO HELP PROTECT OUR SOCIETY? I ALSO HAVE RECEIVED A SCAM ABOUT HOW I WON $ 60, 000 IN A CANADIAN LOTTERY THAT I DID NOT EVEN ENTER!, THEY SENT ME A CHECK THAT LOOKS AUTHENTIC ( WATER MARKS ETC. ) FOR $ 5, 950 AND ASK THAT I SEND VIA MONEY ORDER, MORE THAN HALF THAT FOR PROCESSING FEES, AND CANADIAN TAX AND THEN THEY WILL WITHIN 48 HOURS SEND ME THE REST . . . DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAMS THE FINNY THING IS . . .THEY TOLD ME ( requestagrant.com ) TO COME TO THIS VERY SITE GO FIGURE.

ON LIST FOR TELEMARKETERS NOT TO CALL.

At 11pm this evening, I received a phone call on my home telephone. It came from Washington D.C. which made me believe it was legitimate. The message notified me that I was eligible for thousands of dollars from the government to do all sorts of things. I called back, and was told to visit http://requestagrant.com where my information was to be entered. Knowing entering my information is usually a bad idea, I consulted google.com to find forums to see if others have received a similar call. Sure enough I followed this result: http://whocalled.us/lookup/2026831404

It appears that I was correct, a phishing scam. A high tech way to reach individuals via phone, and give them directions for what they believe to be an opportunity to make their lives better, but instead get their information stolen. I think the fact that they have been successfully operating for the past month, shows that the law enforcement that is supposed to be dealing with the situation is completely negligent to it. In the end they are asking for credit card information.

Please get their information seized and put them in jail before we suffer a crisis.
