I got the same message but figure it is some kind of scam. I listened to try to see what the hook is, but I didn't call the number he gave me that I had to call back "immediately" so I could get my money. I googled it instead and found this.
I got a call today from an Oscar Perez with the same bit. I was selected because I pay mt taxes, never filed for bankruptcy, and have no criminal background. He gave me the name of a legitimate U.S. grant dep. and the phone # had a D.C. area code. These guys must be getting better at the scam. Of course when they said I was to send them money via western union I knew it was B.S. I just wanted to update their scam info.
Same here received a phone call from a Monica 202-666-7177# providing me with the same info and B.S. and to call an Aaron Stone @ 202-407-7177. I had received 2 phone calls previous to this one so finally I answered because they were not leaving me messages. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who has received these phone calls and surprised to see post going back to 2009. Seeing that says this scam has been going on for quite some time.
Both names completely American but when hearing them over the phone they have a very heavy accent and can hear a lot of background noise. I hope other people will read this and not fall into this scam. They seemed pretty urgent to try and get me to wire them the money they were asking to wire money to my nearest Western Union ($210). So as soon as they were asking for money I knew right away it was a scam. Sorry dude but I work for the state in a government funded job I barley make ends meet yet alone to be giving money away like I’m crapping it out. Right before I hung up he told me to call him as soon as I can get the money wired over and that donations would be made to the Taliban (right away dead giveaway).
Sorry for the long post.
ya i got one to as what you guys said but the name that called me was sam williams, and the name that i sopposed to call is jacob black the number is (202)738-1357
