Just got a call and voicemail from this number. The message got cut off but it was a computer-generated women's voice asking me to call them back (same number) in order to access my "grant".
How can I stop this? I regularly get 4-5 of these types of calls every week.
I received a call from this person with a foreign accent (Indian).He told me that he was with Microsoft that I needed to update my service(really).He told turn on my computer and follow his instructions. I promptly hung the phone in his face.
Received call on my cell at 8:35am pdt this morning (7/18/14), but I didn't answer since I didn't recognize the caller id. Of course, they left no message. I later came here to research the number to see if others had received calls from them. Thank goodness that's the way I handle these type of calls.
Just got a call. Called them back and told them that I knew that they were not with Microsoft and to stop calling me. The guy hung up. They are calling from India.
Got just call from an Indian person saying that I was going to receive a federal grant from the government that'll be one time payment of $4000 would not have to be paid back and I needed to put a deposit from my checking account or something of that nature of $170 then that money would be also returned with the $4000 this is totally a scam and I don't know how they get a number located in Florida since I live in Florida and when I looked up the number it says that it was from another city how can they do this crap don't trust Indians.
I just received this same call. That they would give me a federal assistance grant of $4000 and to go to money gram or WalMart and give them $205 that would be refunded to me abd I would not have to pay this grant back. They seemed to know a lot of personal info about me like my work history and that I was having child support issues and that is how I was selected. They stated the money was coming from DC and I needed to go right now and stay in the phone with him. I called WalMart. Scam! I also called my local law enforcement agency.
