I have been recently relieving calls from this number the past three days. They never leave a message and as one person has already stated when you call them back you get the "all circuits are busy, try your call again later" pre-recorded message. I am now blocking that number and suggest others do the same. Sounds ti me like obe of rhose phone scams. Actually it is a sort of phone harassment.
People have been calling me at least since November of 2013 looking for a Manuel. They have called about schools, grants, technology, jobs, etc. This is the most recent. I have asked politely to be taken off their list but I just get passed around to the next call center. Today I asked to be taken off the list and he insisted I knew who Manuel was and if I was him. I asked him if I sounded like a Manuel which stumped him. He said I sounded like a woman. So I asked him again to take me off his list. Then he insisted I tell him my name. No. I hung up.
Just got a call from them was told they were from federal govt and I was selected to receive 84 thousand dollars that I would not need to pay back.Asked her if she enjoyed working for a company that scams people......imagine that she got upset with me and hung up. Lmao :)
Just received this call. DO NOT GIVE THEM THE INFORMATION THEY WANT...SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! Person on phone said the government randomly picks a certain amount of people each year to give $8400 to. I was the chosen one! Ha! I played along and asked how the money is received. The answer is to give them either my BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION OR A CREDIT CARD NUMBER. They would then wire the money into the bank account or add the money to my credit card. I asked for a preloaded card in the mail. They said no and hung up. I'M IN MY 60s. PLEASE, SENIORS....DO NOT GIVE YOUR BANK OR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION TO ANYONE! PERIOD.
