Received a check for $2990.70 and a letter explaining that I won a home improvement grant for $39,000. Told to call the number. I called to see what this was all about, got someone on the phone, told to call back in 10 mins. Then called back to get a machine to leave name and number etc. They never called back but now they have my name and phone number.

Do not accept whatever they are offering. It's a scam.

Fortunately all they have is your name and phone number. Do not give them anymore personal information.

How it works is they will tell you to deposit the check. DON'T DO IT. The check is a fraud.

They will tell you to withdraw a specific amount and Western Union it to a person (usually in Canada) for some thing like insurance or some other such nonsense. Then you will be instructed to call them back to provide the the transaction number for then to pick up the money. You will be told that the funds will be deposited into your account within a few days. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION.

After a few days of you waiting there will be no deposit. When you try to contact them there either be no answer or the phone is disconnected.

Within two weeks of depositing their check your bank will notify you that the check was fraudulent and you will be on the hook to pay them back (usually a couple of thousand dollars).

Contact your state's attorney general's office to report
