This number has been calling BOTH my cell phone & my "home phone" (which is magic jack and UNLISTED!) - Well today, the person must have not been paying attention because they left me a voice mail saying "<my name>.....Hello?....<my name>, you there?....hello, <my name>...." this went on for like 45 seconds LOL! It was a females voice, she sounded as if she were in her 40s?...with an asian accent. I called the # back but it just says "thank you for calling the customer service department, if you'd like to speak with an available representative, press 1. if you'd like to add your number to our do not call list press 2. To end this call press *"...First off, I pressed 2....and it claims my number is now added to their do not call list (we shall see?!)....then I thought "I wonder what this place is?!" So I called again, this time I pressed 1 to talk to someone.... and it said "we're sorry but nobody is available to answer your call, please select a different option from the main menu" -- you'd think if this place was LEGITIMATE they wouldn't want to miss your call and have a voicemail option?.... Wish I could find out WHO it is, just a bunch of sites complaining about not knowing who it is and nobody speaks when the call is answered LOL!
They 1-201-775-4971 call my phone about 20 times a day, they even call well into the evening. It's really annoying when you can't enjoy a quiet evening with this number calling all the time.
i just recieved a call from an overseas caller.
The man proceeded to tell me that he was calling about grants, he knew my full name and was talking about how i could get up to $50,000 in grants from the government, and that grants dont have to be paid back like loans, ect. which seems to be common knowledge to me.
He said i could be eligible for grants for business, educational, housing, personal, ect.
He proceeded to ask me to verify some information such as being 18 yrs old and my specific school address which he knew already. (scares me now)
i told him the stuff was correct but when he started asking for credit or debit information it started sounding a little fishy so i started asking questions and he got all defensive and started quoting the following info:
He said his name was Kevin Billanuvea and his caller id # was 1536.
He also said he was from Lesko Mentoring & the Government Money Club.
He even gave me an address of 12083 Mevel Street, Rockville, Maryland 20852.
then after i was like okay well i still cant give my information out over the phone he was like well if you turn it down another applicant will get it. do you really want to turn down a goverment grant? i said no i just dont give out my information over the phone and i asked him how he got my inquiry to begin with he said on the web and i told him i havent done a thing over the web that has to do with goverment grant and he starts saying thats why theyre calling me to give me information and do i want it or not. he seemed like he was getting frustrated so i was like okay fine, when did i fill out the internet thing and he hung up. i dont know if the company is real but it doesnt really sound like it and if they hang up on people they probably arent that great anyways
