Have you received a phone call about being a grant money winner? If so, you might want to hold off from claiming your prize. Leaders with the BBB say it's a scam. This one invovles claims that the government is giving away grant money in the amount of $8,000. People are receiving phone calls from someone saying they're eligible because they filed for bankruptcy, have good credit, pay their bills on time, don't smoke, and even maintain a good lawn. If you have received a call like this, the BBB wants you to know that the government does not give away grants. In fact, there's an application process.
