This number called me and I asked the mans name that called me he said his name but I could not understand what he said after that was he was from the US government. I asked him what the reason for his call was and he said that my name and phone number had randomly been selected to get a grant that is not taxed and never has to be paid back... This call sounded exactly like scam calls that I have heard of so I hung up on him.
I keep getting these calls. I'm playing along. I took the money gram option to drag it out. I'm curious where this goes and how much of their time I can waste. More time with me means less time scamming others.
My husband keeps getting these calls and wants to take the money gram option. I can't help but wonder what would happen if we call the number to have the money released and then go try and pick up the money gram?
You will eventually be asked to wire THEM money in order to get a grant that does not exist. Your money will be gone. It appears iTunes gift cards are also accepted by these thieves. (Now why would the US government want that??)
