Some random person calling to tell you you're due free money and you thought it was on the level?! You say you've been scammed before so I would think that would make you more cautious about this sort of thing. Lucky you didn't have the money to lose because you definitely would have lost it! Grants are applied for, not just given away for being a good citizen or paying your taxes on time or whatever other lie they come up with.
Yeah I just got a phone call from them just now I think it's always scam because they said they were giving me $5,000 and then I asked them if they would need my bank account information and they said yeah and I told him nope no I'm not going to give them my information to that
I have received several calls from this number - very hard to understand, sounds like a woman struggling to speak English - did get part of the conversation about something with concerns of $9000 - I literally hung up the phone - got to work today and a message was left last night where she regrets we got disconnected... Now I know this is a SCAM - thanks for the above comments - I will ignore the calls...
