Just got a call from 202-301-0508 the caller said that they were from the US Government and that I had been selected to receive $9,000 which never had to be paid back and could use it for whatever purpose I needed it for, sounded to good to be true, so I questioned the caller who got all bent out of shape when I refused to give any of my details, so I asked why he was trying to scam me, guess what, he got really mad and hung up...
