Got a call with an obviously foreign guy telling me that I had been randomly selected from the government to receive $5,000. I was pretty sure that it was a scam immediately but had nothing better to do so I listened to him for a while. Eventually I told him that I felt that his deal was a scam and didn't want to participate any further which is when he got mad and asked me why was I wasting his time. I felt he was wasting my time and told him so, and asked to speak to his manager, upon which he claimed to be the manager. I said that he must have a boss that I could complain to about his customer service and his reply was that I am not a customer but rather a citizen and that by not participating in this deal I could be in "big trouble". I'm sure that I would not be in trouble with the Federal Government for NOT taking money from them so I'll assume that this was a shady deal.
Two calls from this number today. Both from a man with very broken English. First time said the government wanted to give me $8400 free... Second time they asked to speak to me, but completely butchered pronunciation of my name. I told him he could speak to me as soon as he learned to pronounce my name... He hung up on me.
I asked the guy how he got my number. He said in very broken English, "I am your boyfriend. 'member? I want to marry you and sleep with you." I demanded he take me off of his call list and he just kept repeating that!! Gross.

I keep getting the same call. Same time each day. Sounds very South African. According to him I am in trouble with the Federal Government because I won't except the $5000.00 they are offering me. I just hung up.
