Called told me since I didn't have job I could get a $10,000 and never had to pay back. Then told me had to give them my account information then they would deposit money, but I had to pay $190.00 in taxes and they couldn't take it from this money. So beware of anyone offering you money from government, do not give account information hang up and report.
Originally the number calling was 1001000 , which is strange binary code was calling me for like two days, answered twice no answer. Someone answered today and said the govt. was giving me 10,000 because I was poor and have no criminal record, also that my name and number was selected for this personal grant ,what? weird. Things got fishy after being asked for my acct. #'s asked for a check and lady suggested western union was given a confirmation # and this 202.241.4094 called and dude is supposed to call me back . Glad I went with my gut feeling and checked it out !
