If the Federal Gov't were calling you it would be visible on caller ID. They have nothing to hide. This is more than likely a scam targeting students and tax payers.
I just got a call for a FREE Grant for being on time with my taxes. Hey Susan call me and give me your account number so I can see your good for the $5,000 your giving me!!! HEY FBI What is being done about this, the guy clearly stated he is calling from Washington DC and rattled off the address...
Same number just left my fiance a message saying to call Susan because he was going to be given a $5,000 grant towards buying a house. Scary that they knew we are looking to buy a house.
I got a phone call from an unavailable number, saying they wanted to qualify me for a $5,000 grant. I was very skeptical so I asked for another number. The man got defensive and gave me Susan's number. I quickly realized it as a scam, but I wanted more information. After talking to Susan I told her that I needed to talk to someone that could understand and it wasn't so loud in the background.
She hung up on me. After calling her back ten times with no pick-up she blocked my number. I called our local police department.
I called them back and gave them a credit card number of 6563287448 and said go ahead and put the screws to me. My cc# is again 656EATSHIT on your local phone dial! What a bunch of turd heads!
Gotm the same call to my daughter who is in college. Said she had to meet certin qualifications such as being on time with your taxes. She has never filed a tax return. and that she must have never recieved nor applied for a grant. She has on both accounts. Duh. Just out of curiosity was anyone code number that they gave your first and last initial with 003 after it?
