From this number 202-738-1738 They say that the Government picked me to give me $9000 , because I'm a good citizen and that I need to go to a Western Union place and pick up the yellow phone and call them from that phone? and that they will take care of all the info. from there???? I like to know where is this coming from and how they got my number?
They did the same thing to me too and I foolishly gave them my bank details before they told me about the $200 deposit. Will it be a good idea to report this to the police. They said they were from the federal reserve bank new York and the credit officer is Calvin Keith. I feel so stupid now
if these losers have any of your personal information such as your social security number, date of birth or drivers license make sure you register with identity protection notify the credit agencies as well as your banks!!

I just received a call from this number today. I also hit redial because I was curious who in D.C. would want to contact me. Number disconnected. When I answered the phone I spoke in Spanish, they immediately hung up.
