I just received phone call from a 214-151-9446 saying that I'll be receiving a $6700 government grant that I wouldn't have to pay back. Then he told me to call his manager at 206-395-3503 to confirm everything. When I spoke with the manager his name was Phillip Jones, he asked me to send $200 on a green dot moneypak card to confirm it was me & that they'll be giving me back the $200. I knew it was a scam. I asked why do I have to pay money to receive money? He kept saying it was to verify my identity. He had all of my information from the jump. I'll be going to the bank today to change my information. I'm still trying to figure out how they got my information. Please don't fall for this scam
I received a call from this number and, the caller id said - "call" Upon investigation they gave me their number of 206-424-726 from a justin brown of government grants id number ch91442 at 600 4th avenue, seatle washington 98124, There message was that since I have no disputes with the IRS or filed bankruptcy I am entitled to receive 6700 in cash. I was instructd to go to a western union office with 180 and then they would tell me the rest of the procedures. Pressing them for that info, I insisted on knowing the full procedure and why I had to pay them money and verified proof of their authorization. They used som foul language to [***] off and hung up. My next step is to see if the local police department will take action
Today, 6/12/09, a foreign accented man offered me a "$5,000 US government grant to spend" however I want. He asked for my middle initial, birthdate, and to "verify" that I was who I said I was, the last 4 digits of my social security number (which I did NOT give him). He gave me the address: 200 Independence Ave, HHH Building S.W., Washington, DC 20201. I asked him if this was a "stimulus?" But he didn't know the term. He would not clearly tell me how he got my name and number, just that I was registered to the phone number, which is NOT TRUE, my husband is.
