My son been receiving calls from 1-206-317-1541 saying from Samantha saying he was approved for a free grant in the amount of $8,500 but he must sent a security deposit of $250 dollar on a green dot moneypak card to receive the MTCN # to get the $8,750 u get the security deposit back. THIS IS A SCAM.... PLEASE BE CAREFUL NOT TO FALL FOR THIS ITS A LOT OF DESPERATE PEOPLE OUT HERE!!!!
I received a call from (567) 890-9876 telling me the same thing and to call the number (206) 317-1541. When they explained the whole thing to me and got to the part about sending them $50, I told them I knew it was a scam. They almost seemed shocked. I think they just were not expecting someone to call them on it. I understand scams and will not fall for this one.
I keep getting this same call.... Is there anything we can do about it? These people gave me my address and that makes me nervous. How can they get such information?
