Type of a scam Government Grant
They call you and tell you that you have received a Grant from the US DEPARTMENT OF Health and human services. Their address is 2201 6th ave
Seattle, WA 98121 their phone number is 1-206-518-6585 ex-0129. They tell you to get a GOOGLE GIFT CARD. MINE WAS FOR 300.00 dollars. Then they take your hard earned money. I am disabled, and I only receive 1 check a month. Then they call and threatened me that they were going to take all my hard earned money out of my account. Please don’t ever pay for a grant. And the government department will never call you. The US GOVERNMENT WILL SEND YOU A LETTER. I don’t know how I’m going to pay for my bills, food, or other things that I would normally have that 300.00 dollars to help me through the next 3 months.
