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.
Got same call as everyone else but they gave me the choice to go to walmart money gram..they gave me a code to use to claim...Then told me to call this number 202-738-4703 which I knew they would not answer just wanted to see how far they would take it. They already had my name and address where I worked... but that was as far as I went with it..they even give me an address of 200 independence ave, southwest building hhh, washington dc 20201...
to the point of harassment was getting calls once a week on my cell since early January, they ask for me by name, very heavy indian accent, since yesterday morning I received 13 calls most of them after the fifth call were pretty vulgar and obnoxious, usually no caller id or unknown caller yesterday a number came up as (564)564-321 not even a full number, todays number was 0000121233 all from u.s. goverment grant, there has to be some way to stop this,
how do they get your name and number?
I received a phone call from the number 636-60 this is the third day in a row calling usually I just hang up but today I decided to play the game they play. The women on the phone told me I got a nontaxable grant and I don't have to pay it back for $8,000. She stated all I have to do is go to Wal-Mart and purchase a $4.95 green dot money pack card, which works like a visa card. She then told me that I need to call the number and give another person my security code that was provided to me. The number I was given to call was 206-201-2631. I called the number to see what it was about and to get some information the women who answered the phone sounded just like the first person I spoke with, she then proceeded to tell me the steps I needed to take to get my $8,000. I had to get the green dot boney card and then activate it then I had to put $300 on the card so it will allow anything over $5000. This is a scam I will be taking Legal action because they have been calling me everyday.
Does anyone know how to stop them from calling? My number is in the Do not call registry but these guys apparently do not care....i get 3-5 calls a day from them and it just will not stop.
