i just got that call and after the 4th time they called i picked up. it was some asian lady saying i am getting some government grant money that i dont have to pay back. the catch is they want a dollar ninety-seven. I then said sure and said send it C.O.D.they said that service isnt available. i them said i would send a check. they repeated the same answer and wanted a credit card. i told them NO and hung up.
WOW! I've had several calls from this # too. I have not answered. If someone truely needed me, they would leave a message. I don't answer calls from far away area codes.
Called me five times yesterday, three so far today. Answered one of them yesterday, girl with a slight foreign accent tells me she's with some Federal something Services, and is mailing the free grant information I requested and their applications after I give her my credit/debit card number to pay $1.97 S/H. I told her I don't have credit or debit; she says get a friend to pay it for me. Got another call after that with another girl who started the same pitch and seemed surprised when I told her I already talked to someone. (posted this on another number accidently)
We get about 5 calls a day from this number. It's the same rap as I've seen described here. I could barely make out what she was saying about a government grant and I told her to rip up our number - and of course they called right back but hung up when I answered. You could hear massive call center activity in the background...I'd love to know where these people are.....
