mygovernmentgrants.com tried to scam me out of $250! Internet

I received a call from 202-259-6565 and was informed I was being granted 9,000 that would not have to be Paid back. i was told this was being granted to select people across the Unliter States that were low income, always paid their taxes and had not filed bankruptcy in the past. To process this I was to call 513-878-0464 To get this processed.  I called the number and was told I would have to get a 250$ gift card since we are not in a tax free state.  The guy wanted to stay on the phone with me while I drove to the store to get the gift card.  I looked at their website and it looked legit, however I also saw several reports stating this was fraud.
