i just got a call from this number myself, but i looked it up on google and it turns out to be scam. they say i was approved forup to 5000. i got in one like this before and lost over 2300. please people turn these people in. i work hard for my money just like you do, dont get caught like i did.
222-223-3333 then they ask u to call 206-792-9855 u have won a grant in the amount of 6700 all u have to do is pay 290 for the state taxes.................................wtf
So I kept receiving calls from a +91621 number and when I finally picked up they told me I was chosen to receive a $6700 grant, Because I have no warrants and was never convicted of a felony or blah blah blah.. So I was like hmm. Lets see where this goes, I asked questions they asked if I wanted it in a check for or directly deposited, I said check because I'm not gunna give my bank info out. So he told me to call this mark Houston person I called and he answered told me all the info that was told to all of you.. And I kept asking questions sometimes the same question over and over and he sounded irritated.. He told me to purchase a green dot card and load $290 call him back and wait for the grant money to be deposited to my account and I was like oh ok.. Ill do it.. I hung up googled his name and "us department of federal grant" ( which is clearly wrong because he CLEARLY WASN'T IN THE US. ) And found a bunch of info on him and this scam. I hope they stop this ASAP.
DON'T FALL FOR THIS!!!!!! I was told by Easy Loans that I would receive a grant of $6,700, and to call to Mr. Shaun Russell to receive the check by mail by confirming my approval number at 202-657-4787. The official address was 200 Independence Avenue, Washington DC 20201. That number line was busy, and I stop calling afterwards. Don't give any information about yourself to anything unfamiliar, don't give out money to get money, and again, DON'T FALL FOR THIS!!!!!! Oh, and here's their number, 202-738-6954
So early this morning received phone call from San Antonio Texas...same jargon as others...pay taxes, no criminal record. Told me that if I would like to receive this money that I needed to call this number: 1-206-201-2529 and speak to Chris Wyine, give him my access number DN701 and he would tell me more info.
Called, foreign accent...probably middle eastern...if I wanted this money, had to go get a voucher(money order I think) and gave me a list of places. Cost for voucher $4.95...BUT I had to buy the voucher for $249.00, and I would get the money back with the check (opted check instead of giving bank information)
After I bought the voucher was to call Chris back and he would have my check out to me immediately.
Had to promise not to use the money for anything illegal....what a joke!!
It never ceases to amaze me that there are people out there that want nothing more then to hurt others.
Hope all of these help someone else like it did me
