Received call from telling me that I was going to be given a $9,000 grant from the U.S. government. I was given a confirmation I.D. number and was told to call back to 202-649-0721 to arrange getting my money through either Moneygram or Western Union today. Figured it was a scam so didn't call back and check here for similar calls. Reporting them to FTC. Call was from man with foreign accent.
This call came in within 10 minutes, on my cell phone, of another call (202-444-4444) from Washington, D. C. Apparently the government is "giving away" grants in the amount of $9K. All you have to do is give them your BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER!! Right.... hung up on the foreign, awful English, guy.
Received a call from 202-565-6587 after i received a call from 315-556-5596. No one answered, but i could hear office noises in background. So I hung up. I tried calling that # back and got a message that # was out of service........
