recieved a call a few minutes ago saying I won a govt. grant for paying bills on time and told to call (206) 3171607 . Govt. does not call to offer free money people be careful. Guy on phone had indian accent.
i got the same call. they wanted to send the money to my bank account and hung up when I didnt give my account number. I don't think they would send a grant directly to an account, considering grants usually go to school. This smells like a scam.
I rec'd the phone call today. I was able to call the # back. I was told I would receive $7000 for being in a certain demographic and also because I always pay my bills on time. I wonder how they would know that. I said I would pick it p at a Western Union. They did say it could go straight to my savings/checking account. If picking up at WU I would need to put $200 on a "pin card?". Not sure what she was saying. I would then received my check for $7200 with in minutes. She said her name was Kelly. Not likely. I hope these people get caught soon and no one gets taken in by them. They were definately at a large call center.
I just got a call from a man with an accent. He told me I would be getting $7000 from the government because I didn't have a criminal record and I paid my bills on time. He said it was a demographic thing. He told me to call 206-317-1607. I called and a woman with an accent told me I would have to get a Green Dot card at Walmart with $250 on the card. Then I started yelling. I told her I saw this on the news in Northeast, Ohio. It really was on the news. She told me not to call again.
This is the 2nd call I've gotten from these people.
