Received call from Washington DC at 202-543-8451 and was informed that the government was looking for candidates to award free grant for school. Gave me another number to call to verify ( 628-207-4936) along with a code JS121. Called but hung up when the guy who answered sounded like he was awakened by the phone!

The pre-recorded message said there was $9002.00 of unclaimed money with the treasury dept and that I needed to call 206-401-1050 to register for it. When I called back, a lady with an accent grew angry about my questions regarding this treasury dept claim and told me I was bothering them and not to call back.

Today at 2pm I got a call from 619 352 0896, didn’t recognize the number so I don’t answer it typically. A female voice said I needed to contact them "the treasury department" about tax fraud. Just for giggles I called the number and in broken English a male answered and said ‘treasury department’ I don’t recall if he or she said US treasury department I was too busy laughing as I hung up. I am not super clever by a long shot and figured this was most likely some sort of fraud. So just thought I would pass it on to you all. If you need anything from me or feel I should take it ‘up the chain of command’ some where else I will do what you all think is appropriate. Thanks for your time and service!

they called my wife and offered her 7000$ in free grants. All she had to do is call 202-546-5635 and give Confirmation# BR001 and they would send the money to the closest location. I call the number and they answered as the treasury department without and delay

I get several robo calls daily from (253) 245-1992. I decided finally to answer. The guy spoke in very broken English and said that I had been selected for a government grant. I told him that I didn’t need a gov grant and asked to be removed from the calling list. Of course, they did not remove me and I continued to get the calls. I finally decided to answer again to see what info the caller was requesting. He said that he was from the Treasury dept and gave an address that I could not understand due to very broken English. However, I did understand that it was from New York, NY. However, the phone identifier shows that the call came from West Virginia. I questioned him about this and he said he was calling from NY. He proceeded to ask for my full name and at that point I told him again that I was not interested. He then said "you told me that you were interested and I don’t have time to waste on you". I then called the phone number and got an answering machine that did not ID where I was calling.

This was a call from someone identifying himself as David Gray. He left a message in my voicemail saying that he is from the Treasury Department and that "an enforcement action has been executed against me by the United States Treasury Department" and that I was to call him back. I am attaching the recording I received.
