This is just a new line that was set up from the scam company that claim they are giving away FREE GOV MONEY!! They will request that you send a deposit of $200 for $7000 and your $200 will be refunded after it's recieved. DON"T FALL for it if the government wanted to send you free money it wouldn't be through western union!! In addition to that none of the callers where american....hint number one!! Be on the look out for this number as well 202-621-0704.
they called me today in the morning, they had an accent. Offered 7,000 , but after that asked :" Do you have any cash on you?". It was cute;' ( I said ;"yes, of course". A man asked to call him from the WU office and then "he would tell me what to do." I did not call them back, government would not ask the money for its grants. These people have an access to the colleges' information, I believe... They know your GPA and names, BE CAREFUL!!!!!!
This is a bulls--t scam i must admit i was tempted but thanks to the i-net i looked up the phone number and found a site that warned me of the scam plus there is other info you should have. 1) The phone number is a land line 2) the phone carrier is new cingular wireless pcs. Plus the person i spoke with was not american born as he had an accent.
They called my husband today and he almost fell for it! Thank God he called me first and i looked on inet while i called them back and he gave me a bogus website. i asked to speak to his supervisor, guess what, he was the supervisor! Go figure! i told my husband to leave it alons and if they called him back to call them out on the scam they were pulling and see what they did!
I was called from an unknown name on my caller ID. They said I won a Federal Grant for paying my taxes on time and not claiming bankruptsy. They wanted to direct deposit it into my bank account, credit card or mail me a check. They had my name and address on file and they gave me a confirmation number and told me to call Micheal King at this phone number.
