I started getting calls from this number a few days ago. For an hour or so I would get a bunch of calls from them and then they would leave me alone for a while only to start up again either later in the day or the next day. Whenever I picked up I would not get any response and if I called the number back nobody would pick up.
I told a friend of mine about it and she called the number with the same results. But I guess she's had more experience with those types of calls than I have and she told me to call the number back and sit through the answering service for a few seconds then press 2. Miracle of miracles after I pressed 2 another automated message said that I had been placed on their do not call list. Hopefully this info helps anyone else that is having trouble with these people.
I receive calls from this number at least 8 times a day it is really getting to be a pain in the A## ! It doesnt let up it is consistant for about and hour then it stops and starts all over again the next day!
For those of you who have sprint starting August 29th they will be able to start blocking phone numbers. I plan on calling them back on that day and having this numbered block they call all day long its starting to really piss me off!!!
I have receive calls from this number as well and I spoke to a representative who says she is calling about grants from the government. They asked me to apply for an application and said they would charge me a $2 fee, but when I asked her about the location where she is calling from she said she was calling a location from Utah. I didn't believe her based on the area code. Can anyone confirm this?? If anyone else filled out any application online regarding student grants
It happened to me too. Just the same thing. About the grants from government and she asked my debit or credit card for those $2.89 fee. I told her I don't trust anyone calling me and wanting me to give them my credit card. It's too risky, she could take all the money I have, not just $2 as they say.
Yes, I too have received calls from this number telling me that I can apply for government grants and I have to pay this small fee to get on their system. They have a caller ID as Cigna so people think that this insurance company is calling and they answer it. They called me about 5 times in two days. I asked if they are with the government but she said no that they are a private company working for the government and they are called Grants Director I have to pay by credit or debit only to get on they system. I did not believe her and told her I am not interested and hung up. They did not call me back. This is definitely a scam!
