I have received numerous calls from this "blocked" number for the past week. I finally spoke with them today and He advised I had received a grant from the US Federal Government. He wanted my name, address, date of birth and bank account. I hung up on him and he had the audacity to call back and give me this call back number for his senior manager (which sounded nothing like that when he said it). I googled the number and thankfully saw this and told him he was busted that I knew it was a scam. I too am on a Do Not Call List.
The call I initially received was from a blocked number, and I spoke to someone named Marcy. I was asked to call (202) 657-6938 and speak to a woman named Malory. When I called I was given the same story about how I needed to pay $288 at a Western Union in order to receive my $7500.... Straight BS
Just got fired. Last week. Needed money. Before I got fired. I was on medical leave. Money running low. Looking for payday loans online. Next thing I know got calls non-stop from loan agencies. Everyone of them were foriegn. They have a Somalian accent. I know cause my job employ a fair amount of them. Got the same call too. I was using Google search engine. This never have happened if I've used Explorer by Mircrosoft. Hackers warn me that Google is not good. Should've listen. Also, getting calls from this number too."000-0000".
Just got the same call...they wanted to know if I wanted my funds via check or cash. I chose cash. Caller then asked for my home address (don't think I will get anything..lol). Caller also gave me the 202-640-5471, and of course no answer. Nothing is for free....BELIEVE this!
