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.
I received a call from this phone #, tried to check as to from whom it came and reverse phone directory says that the caller's identity is blocked for privacy reasons.
Got the call five minutes ago on my cell. Only answered it because I thought it might be a friend who ironically works in the White House. Same story as reported by everyone else. Soon as a heard "free grant" I hung up.
