This number has called me numerous times in the last 2 days. One time it went to voicemail but they didn't leave a message. Made me suspicious because #1 I don't know anyone in DC and #2 if it were Govt. they would contact through the mail. Listening to all the other comments I definitely won't answer if they call again and then if it continues I'll block it
They've been stalking our phone for over a month. They keep asking for me and my grandpa tells them Im at school and they've been calling him all sorts of names and demanding to speak to me. I actually answered the phone at one point and the guy had a real nasty attitude. Told choke on a fat one
You should invest in a call blocker, either a device or phone. Or if its a cell, then they have apps that work for some though some of the newer ones already have call blocking. Most of the calls like this grant scam are coming form India and Pakistan so a call blocker is your best bet to stop them.
