202-465-6776 Informational post:www-consumer-ftc-gov articles -government-grant-scams “Because you pay your income taxes on time, you have been awarded a free , government grant To get your grant, simply give us your checking account information, and we will direct-deposit the grant into your bank account”Sometimes, it’s an ad that claims you will qualify to receive a “free grant” to pay for education costs, home repairs, home business expenses, or unpaid bills- Other times, it’s a phone call supposedly from a “government” agency or some other organization with an official sounding name- In either case, the claim is the same: your application for a grant is guaranteed to be accepted, and you’ll never have to pay the money back-But the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, says that “money for nothing” grant offers usually are scams, whether you see them in your local paper or a national magazine, or hear about them on the phone-Some scam artists advertise “free grants” in the classifieds, inviting readers to call a toll-free number for more information- Others are more bold: they call you out of the blue- They lie about where they’re calling from, or they claim legitimacy using an official-sounding name like the “Federal Grants Administration-” They may ask you some basic questions to determine if you “qualify” to receive a grant- FTC attorneys say calls and come-ons for free money invariably are rip offs-Grant scammers generally follow a script: they congratulate you on your eligibility, then ask for your checking account information so they can “deposit your grant directly into your account,” or cover a one-time “processing fee-” The caller may even reassure you that you can get a refund if you’re not satisfied- In fact, you’ll never see the grant they promise; they will disappear with your money-The FTC says following a few basic rules can keep consumers from losing money to these “government grant” scams: Don’t give out your bank account information to anyone you don’t know- Scammers pressure people to divulge their bank account information so that they can steal the money in the account- Always keep your bank account information confidential- Don’t share it unless you are familiar with the company and know why the information is necessary- Don’t pay any money for a “free” government grant- If you have to pay money to claim a “free” government grant, it isn’t really free- A real government agency won’t ask you to pay a processing fee for a grant that you have already been awarded — or to pay for a list of grant-making institutions- The names of agencies and foundations that award grants are available for free at any public library or on the Internet- The only official access point for all federal grant-making agencies is www-grants-gov- Look-alikes aren’t the real thing- Just because the caller says he’s from the “Federal Grants Administration” doesn’t mean that he is- There is no such government agency- Take a moment to check the blue pages in your telephone directory to bear out your hunch — or not- Phone numbers can deceive- Some con artists use Internet technology to disguise their area code in caller ID systems- Although it may look like they’re calling from Washington, DC, they could be calling from anywhere in the world- Take control of the calls you receive- If you want to reduce the number of telemarketing calls you receive, place your telephone number on the National Do Not Call Registry- To register online, visit donotcall-gov- To register by phone, call --- (TTY: ---) from the phone number you wish to register- File a complaint with the FTC- If you think you may have been a victim of a government grant scam, file a complaint with the FTC online, or call toll-free, --FTC-HELP (---); TTY: ---- The FTC enters Internet, telemarketing, identity theft, and other fraud-related complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure online database available to hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U-S- and abroad-
