I too received a call from this number claiming that I had been chosen to receive a 7,000 dollar grant from the U.S government because I paid my taxes on time this year. All I needed to do was give them my bank info and they could transfer it to my account but there were stipulations on what the grant could be spent on. So I told them that I was at work and would like more information on this "grant" and since they already had my address, which they confirmed when I first answered the phone, I told them to mail me the info so I could look it over and haven't heard back from them since! These people are ridiculous, fortunately I and seemingly most of the people on here are not falling for their scam, but so many others do and something needs to be done about it.
So, they called. Started their pitch. I laughed. They proceeded to speak jiberish to me. I threatened them with death and dismemberment. They havent called back since.

Yes I also received a phone call from these people. They told me what bank I used.They had my address and the bank I used so I called my bank to block my account. I am closing my account tomorrow.
I have been getting a number of calls saying they are with the US government. This one has a caller id # 2023014406/ I would like for these calls to stop.
