Hi got the same call. When I spoke to her she asked for my bank account info. I told her to just send a check. They already had my address somehow. She said I was supposed to call 206-201-2051 to finalize things and speak to a Paula Hadley. She asked me exactly what time I was going to call. That seemed fishy to me. She also gave me a grant approval number.
I wasn't able to call at the time I told her but called the next morning and got an answering machine that just said "The person your trying to reach is unavailable. Please leave a message"
just got similar calls twice; indian (country) speaking individuals who carrying christian n english names as black citizens called and said her name is malessa watson previously was shaleen and gave a number to call a guy to get the info since i was not willing to gv my bank number n said send the check to western union. called the guy n he said to go western union but could not give me the pin number to receive the money then was told to call him while i was in the line at western union. this is fishy so he continued to xplain why i was choosen for the 7,500 grant and had to deposit 280 USD in western union first n will get the money sent plus a refund of 280...is it not stupid to do such? i told the caller and said i will put u on the police she reply is not all calls r pranked and she can put me unto the police. she hanged up the phone eventually. i did not use amozon but was searching for schools and jobs. this is a warning to plp do not give any info out on these sites...plp working in these organizations are linked to plp who r involved in fraud...be careful...this is sad though.
they r not consistant with the amount they say they r giving...its 7,500 n 7,000 because they forgot they called u b4...not intelligent people involved in this scam. these plp first language is indian oriented hence their accent. but uses english and christian names. i think the police needs to be aware of this and sort them out...
yes same thing but they said I need to pay $269 processing fee at western union then will get my $7000 in 20 minuets she said she was the federal government a 206 number I was looking for jobs and applying
The same thing happened to me. 206 number. Amanda was her name and yes they asked me to put 299 into green dot money card at Walmart. She also said she was calling from the us government. I said, feel free to mailed me a check.
