Called me and claimed the 'federal government' would pay me $9000 dollars. Then proceed to ask me questions about if I had criminal records and similar. In addition to the "Too good to be true" free money for me claim it was a very poor phone connection and accent from caller; so likely an international phishing/fraud call. Somehow he knew my name and as soon as I said I didn't need any grants he hung up on me.
