Hey!!! I´m from Chile.... and just received the same message from "Adams Lorenzo"; which is totally a Scammer.... the mobile phone given is 7183951194 .. .Be aware
I would like to forward these calls to the phones of patients in a dementia ward. They have no communication with anyone and are the only people alive who want to listen to what these people have to say.
SCAM!
Called from "USA Grants". Started talking, but accent was so thick I asked to speak to someone who spoke English without an accent. He immediately said "what the [***]" and hung up on me.
THIS IS A SCAM!
I answered this call after looking here to see what these people wanted with the intent to ask them to stop calling, but asked questions. They told me I was "selected to receive a $7,000 government grant" and I told them that the federal government doesn't just give out free money, but they said, "How do you know that?" So I said, how do I get the money?He told me there was a website to go to: http://www.usagovernmentgrants.org/ and they gave me an "grant ID number" and told me to go to the local Money Gram store and call 202-657-4078 - and that account manager on the phone would give me instructions to have the money wired into my account. I called the police and filed a complaint at www.ic3.gov
Don't give them any information, and DON'T go to the money gram store!!
I have received over 6 calls today. I finally answered the last call. I asked, who are you and why do you keep calling me? This man answered in a very obscene way! It was an obscene phone call! I hung up and they have not called back yet.
