Scam alert

<p>Phone calls are being made from area code 202 stating that &quot;you have just won a federal grant for free money, just provide your bank account number or credit card number. &nbsp;If you want it today, just pay and we will transfer the money.&quot;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is a scam, the federal government doesn&#39;t give out grants that you didn&#39;t apply for, the IRS or any government agency doesn&#39;t take iTunes cards or gift cards, IRS doesn&#39;t &nbsp;call and send local police after people who owe money, and never give out bank info or personal info to anyone unless verified. &nbsp;If you receive a &quot;call&quot; from &quot;IRS&quot; it is a scam, they don&#39;t call you, you must call them.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Any questions, call your local police before sending money or giving information.</p>

Instructions:

Do not let scammers make you a victim!!
