Caller from 202.381.2728 stated he was from the "federal government" department of grants and/or treasury department. Said I'd been randomly selected from among 1500 people in America to receive a once-in-a-lifetime-grant of $9,000. Said his name was "Adam Smith". Accent & unfamiliarity with english words and terms indicated to me that english was not his 1st language. When he couldn't tell me whose faces were on the $100, $50, $5, or $1 dollar bills, I subsequently deduced "Adam Smith" wasn't really an agent of the Treasury, however cleverly he tried to disguise his identity. I did manage to keep him on the telephone for about 20 minutes before he started using profanity (barely recognizable) and hung up.
A man called from this number and said he was from the US govt ground department. He had an accent, sounded more from Russia or Eastern Europe. I told him I was driving and he should call back. Said ok will call back and hung up. Yet to receive a call back!
Same type call as others received about grant wanting my info....I kept questioning him and ask how I was selected.... got him frustrated ask me if I was a Christian ....I replied yes and ask why that mattered so please beware of these type call.
Just called about the grant I told him I wasn't interested. He then asked me why I even listened to him, I just said again I'm not interested then he said "you Mother F'r" what I'm really disappointed about is that he will never get to hear my witty derrogative remarks I was about to say before he hung up.
Got this call and when he said he was from the federal governmenet, i told him it's a scam and not to involve me in this scam. then i hung up ang block the number.
