Same story, got call and answered, bad connection and call was lost but heard Indian accent, actually thought at first was my friend from India. Got second call I ignored, found this site. Now I know and have alerted my family to ignore them.
call from law firm or so they say threaten law suit and date to appear in court in Washington DC...very nasty and make threats...no one threatens with a court date you get a summons to appear in court. this is a scam and they want your id and your money...they are trying to scare people to give money. I reported them to the FTC you didn't get me!!!!!
I reported this online at www.donotcall and got a letter from the FCC thanking me for reporting it, but basically saying there was nothing they could do. When I initially started getting the calls about a year ago they said they were a government agency and that I qualified for a grant. I said 'great...send it to me.' They said we need to deposit it directly into my bank account and asked for the account information. Scam, scam, scam!! I just reported it again yesterday to AT&T. That same Indian voice whom I now call 'Demon Man' actually said he'll be calling me everyday when I told him not to call here again. It amazes me that with all the technology, no one seems to be able to stop the culprit.
