Same jazz as the rest of you guys, surprised this number is still going strong, I was eligible for $9000 or so grant. I informed them they were eligible to kiss the fattest part of my [***] and hung up.
This guy call with a heavy accent trying to give me free money. He then asked for my accound number or credit card number. I got into an argument about how I'm not giving my info out to a complete stranger and he was like we arent going to do anything with it. I asked him to send a check and he said they werent authorized. If he was from the governement then they could send a check. I also suggested he put the money on a Visa gift card and he was insistant that the only way was credit card or account number. I'm not an idiot, but I did keep him on the phone for about an hour asking questions. When he said he had other calls to make I told him I had been keeping him on the phone so that he would be able to make less calls and hopefully scam less people and the idiot continued to talk to me. He gave me a website usgrantstreasurydepartment.gov but I'm not typing that into my browser. He got really mad when I told him it would probably give my computer a virus. "The government wouldn't give your computer a virus!" I then laughed on the phone and he told me he would give me 24 hours to look over the site and call me back tomorrow. I said awesome can't wait till you call back and make sure you set aside about an hour and a half so I can waste more of your time. He said "ok." I kinda hope he calls back, Friday's are always really boring at work and I would love to find something fun to do.
When I answered the phone, the person immediately hung up without saying anything. When I returned the call, I just got a recorded voice saying, "Sorry, your call cannot be completed."
Persistent [***], they have been calling me for months. Always the same Indian caller, always the same $10,000 offer, and I feed them a new story every time, last week I was dead even. Fun trolling this guy!
