Scam alert ![](/static/Citizen-24_02_1/img/public/msg_expiration.png)
<p>Phone calls are being made from area code 202 stating that "you have just won a federal grant for free money, just provide your bank account number or credit card number. If you want it today, just pay and we will transfer the money."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is a scam, the federal government doesn't give out grants that you didn't apply for, the IRS or any government agency doesn't take iTunes cards or gift cards, IRS doesn't call and send local police after people who owe money, and never give out bank info or personal info to anyone unless verified. If you receive a "call" from "IRS" it is a scam, they don't call you, you must call them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any questions, call your local police before sending money or giving information.</p>
Instructions:
Do not let scammers make you a victim!!
