I got the same call Aug 26th 10:57am MST. A person with a Indian accent said I was selected by the government to earn $7000.
They said the money will be available today and that I only needed to give them $330 as a security deposit.
I told them I do not have that amount.
The person continue to say that I needed to arrange that money in order to get the $7000
I asked "What do you mean by arrange?"
He would not get off the word arranged - and finally he hung up.
The phone numbers are: 202-697-9640 and 202-621-7457
I also received several calls from this number and finally this man came on saying that i have received 7000.00 dollars he knew my address and full name. That he would transfere me to Carol to finish the call and when i said that if this was from the goverment that i would check the phone number and then would call him back and finish the call. He then call me a few bad names and then hung up on me. SCAM
The same number called me as well they said I will get a grant for $7000 but the catch was I needed to send them 339 deposit to verify that it was me what kind of government grants wants you to send them money first
