I just received this call for the Federal Government in WA DC people telling me that i will received 10,000 in a Western union location but first i need to submit a payment of $ 260.00 a king of Indian or Pakistani men with the name of John Smith , when i told him to out of the 10,000 to be award to me discount the $260.00 that they are claiming he said that it was a one in a life time opportunity,and insist to put on hold until i came up with the money , then i told my brother was offers the same amount and after find out was an scam, he hang up the phone lol , PEOPLE THAT'S A LIE don't pay a attention and do not give your bank or personal information
I received a call from unknown number which claimed that I won a 7000 dollar from the government grant and I actually applied for the government grant about six months ago and it was supposed to come out in this month, I was about to believe the idea and when forward and gave them my bank account number as the routing number as they requested. They give me a confirmation number contains two letters and three numbers attached with the phone number they claimed that its the grant manager's number to call him in the next day and give him this confirmation number as well as my full name. In the next day when I called they asked my to give them my bank account number so as to transfer to me the amount and to send them $ 250 as the processing fee and they don't claim any tax and any other payment and will not take this amount from the grant I won. I told them ok, I reviewed myself and asked why shouldn't I google this phone number and the information they gave me. Then I searched and found its a big and scary scam. I just regret that I provided them with my account number and my routing number as they requested.
PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT DEAL WITH CALL COMES FROM THIS PHONE NUMBER AND BE ALERTED REGARDING THE CALLS YOU MIGHT RECEIVE FROM UNKNOWN NUMBERS....
