Guy name " steve harrison keeps calling from this number extenstion 116 (gave me a different extension lastnite) being that he woudl NOT stop calling and saying I was getting a $9000 grant of money to do anything i wanted except but Liquor, drugs and cigarettes ( lol ) and he made me make a secret password with him PURPLE He identified his calling place as Washinton DC and its the Government Grant Department telephone number (206) 317 1222 . He then tells me i have to give $349 to process it and go to a Western Union office and DONT tell them what its for or they will charge me 33% taxes on this - instead tell them i am sending it to a friends in the UKRAINE named ALEKSANDER KULAGA , told me to signe the form ( a green form ) with my signature and my home address, So i was playing stupid the whole time and having my daughter mumble indistinguishable things And i Said to the guy- this green form is asking for an Address - he was getting annoyed - he said NO address just sent it to the UKRAINE to Aleksander Kulaga that is my superior officer. He said the Western Union person was trying to ' trick ' me lol, into saying it was for a governmnent grant - I then said Wait mr Harrison - WHAT government The Ukrainian government? and he said No no the US government its just a code - ok w/e Then he got really annoyed. Told me to get in my car and go to CVS or walmart ext.... and BUT for $3.49 A GREEN DOT MONEY BACK VOUCHER - THATS IT so far - lol hes waiting for my call back .......too funny but this isnt the first time ive gotten this type of call - got another one on sunday from a guy saying he was IN ORLANDO , Florida but it had a 914 area code and the guy was WIGGGING out because i was asking too many qeustions. I went along with him and pretended to be an old woman - he wanted me to give him my credit card number to activiate my HOME ALERT CARE package for which i would receive $3,000 in FOOD vouchers to use anywhere i wanted if I would give them 39.95 per month for 3 personal health care beepers.. I realllly busted the guys chops and he proceeded to hang up on me and then prank me about 10 times, at one point making really strange donald duck noises - it was a VERY crowded office behind him and he started to scream at his colleagues... oh scammers - please let me know if you need any additional information - this guy is calling me again with of course an out of area telephone number, then when i dont answer that he'll call with a private one -lotta work to go thru for $349 - i dont get it
Have gotten 8 or more calls in the last two days. Inadvertently answered once, but no one was there. Called the number back and got a recording stating, "the party you are trying to reach is unavailable." Very annoying! They are sometimes calling every hour, on the hour.
I just got three calls between 2:44 pm and 4:19 pm! Very annoying and disruptive to my work. At least say something dont just hang up and keep calling!!
