I got the same call; horrible scam tactics. Know number showing upon caller ID, unable to speak English but calling from US treasury, requesting my BANK ACCT.. #, rushing me to call other numbers. Get a JOB people!!
I don't know the number the call came from, but this is the number I was told to call to claim my grant money. I did not give any bank info and asked if they could send me a check. The guy with the bad accent who called said no, but they could send cash to Western Union. I did not call the number but checked here to see if it was a scam. What number is 202-241-4232?
Well, I called the number back, wanted money upfront to cover IRS taxes on Grant money. Told them I wasn't giving my account information out, I wasn't intetested and he hung up on me. SCAM from 202-241-4232
