A woman called with broken English, said hat I won a government grant of $1000.00, I need to call 202/684/9952 and give a code to collect the money. I told her that I don't believe her that this was some kind of scam. The lady insisted that I called this number and not to give anyone the code until I talk to the right person. She had my full name and address and phone number.!!!
I could not make out entirely what man was saying when I answered the phone. I told him to remove us from all calling lists and mailing lists. He said 3 different times...shutup and listen to me sir.
Have been receiving multiple calls from this number so I finally answered since they never leave a message. Was told be someone with a heavy accent that they were from the government and I had won $9,200 grant because I had good credit. When I asked if they could send me something in the mail, he talked all around it. I asked if I could call back and he said sure. When asked for his number, he hung up. SCAM. Wanted a bank account number or a credit card number.
Thick accent said he was from Treasury Department and I had won a grant. I explained my hearing aid was dead , to speak up. I made him repeat everything multiple times. Then, when he said that my good credit entitled me to the grant, I asked him if he could mail it, because I couldn't hear him. Then when I asked him to cc my lawyer and could he forward the grant to my mortage company because I'm in forclosure, he cursed and hung up.
