This number is part of "Grant Instructor" which are people who inform you of government grants and financial stuff for college. They will ask you to pay a small amount (like under $2) for shipping this "free" financial help to you. Whatever you do, DECLINE because this number is SCAMMING you into a superfine print of $49+ per month membership fee. (if you google them, tons of complaints about them will pop up)
I answered this number once and they strongly urged (more like harassed) me to pay them then. I said no which made them frustrated and hung up so I thought I was done with them. Since then, they've been calling me mad crazy like every hour or so. I put my phone on silent so it doesn't bother me with their every-hour calling. (That's what you get you persistent FOOLS!! Give up while you can because I'll never answer you, MUHAHAHA!!)
I think that they're calling tons of number now because its back-to-school season and they hope to reel in some money. Well, hope this helps anyone.
For the past 2 days now, this number is on a constant call, like every hr or so. When my fiance or I answer, there is a long silence then nothing. One other time today I answered and they hung up...it getting really annoying.....
I have told them to stop calling me 3 times now. I thought policy was if somebody ask you to stop calling them your suppost to stop, not keep harassing people with the phone calls.
honestly do you even know the possible dangers of this is. i have received 2 calls every minute for 3 days always at night with a man threatening to come over to my house and cut off all my fingers and limbs as i watch them kill my family and do the same to them. these people are from poor corrupt countries (commonly nigeria or something of the same conditions) they use embedding codes and such so you cannot trace their number or see their caller ID. they are impossible to catch and typically from overseas in a poor town. these people will stop at nothing to make you scared for your life. you can never know how serious they are but dont take it lightly or be stupid and give out any information. i dont know what idiot above said they were going to sue a person doing something like this to them but they honestly have no common sense. dont be stupid and jump to conclusions if you believe them for whatever they are trying to trick you with. these types of things have been happening for many years now probably decades and dont underestimate them. their motive is to scare you so much that you send them money to leave you alone. not to worry there are other options but dont give out any information about your self. i knew someone who lost 600,000 dollars to something like this and even when he tried to track it he couldnt. the money is sent to a central station far away where many people stowing away working for the hacker will sneak in to pick up the package or find away to secretly get it and will grab it and send it to another station until a series of untraced stations like the first one the same method is repeated and it has circulated through final brings it to your harrasser. these people could be correlated to something of the same extremities as a terrorist, cereal killer, nigerian pirate, or the worst people you can think of. dont be stupid and think they will stop because of "policy" there is none in their eyes. and they dont have a breaking point or point where you can predict they will stop. change your number. it is a crime for years ruined many lives. they are a organized group if you are receiving any calls of this type. do not stay on the line they probably have very large hacking skills and can trick you into picking up. (they hacked the ID to say they were a person from my town and the caller ID said my town name) do not fall for these. if it sounds like a voice creepy, with an accent or one from someone you have heard before from these types of calls say officer this is the person or tell them to stop and hang up immediately. they will most likely persist after that but dont answer if its unlisted or your not positive its someone you know. this is a serious offense threatening your life and immediately contact the police. you can never be fully prepared for it but dont let them give you the runaround either. they might say irrelevant things or keep asking if different people are home and for all you know they are reading the dictionary to keep you on the line long enough so they can find out where you live. they are skilled and experienced hackers. they have done these things long enough that they know exactly what to do for every situation and know every trick in the book. they might be poor but can still scrape up technology to use where they can even be more advanced than you and have personally set up software which you cannot get by no matter what. its an awful thing which no one wants but listen to what im saying in dont be stupid, report to authorities, dont give out any information (they commonly ask questions that make you think your not giving out any important information), and everything else i said above. read this link it is useful and will tell you what you need to do in these situations generally and you should follow them.

these people stop at nothing to strike fear in you and make you feel scared for your life. dont respond to them. do listen to them so you can say to the police what they were saying and not be ignorant of the matter but dont listen to them also in the way where you become irrational by the threats. enter a conversation with logic, ease, and safety procedures. dont stay on the line to long considering they might trace your call, follow procedure and u should be ok.
I have been receiving calls from this number for over a month now. The number they are calling is on the do not call list. I have filed a complaint with the FCC, pushed "2" to be placed on they (whoever they are)call list. How the heck do I get them to quit calling my cell phone?
