GOVERNMENT: PLEASE HELP CLOSE THE PEOPLE BEHIND SCAMS. THEY ARE BROKEN ENGLISH PEOPLE MOST OF THE TIME. THEY CLAIM TO BE FROM THE UNITED STATES GRANT DEPT HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. THEY WANT CITIZENS BANK INFORMATION TO DEPOSIT GRANT FUNDS. BULLSH@T. THE CALLER ID SHOWS UP NO CALLER ID. I ASKED HIM FOR HIS NAME AND I BELIEVE HE SAID "Malk" "M.A.L.K.". HE ALSO GAVE ME THIS NUMBER WHEN I ASKED HIM FOR A CONTACT NUMBER 202-986-5231. I GIVE 800notes.com the authority to FORWARD THIS INFORMATION TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES. I AM SICK OF THESE [***] SCAMMING THE INNOCENT. GOOD LUCK, DOGS. ALSO AFTER I TOLD HIM I WAS A VERY BUSY MAN.....HE HAD THE B@LLS TO SAY HE WAS BUSY TOO AND HUNG UP. LETS NAIL THESE [***] AND CUT THEIR FINGERS AND THROATS.
I just received a call today. I new it was a scam soon as the guy started talking then once he sad they would need my checking acct or debit card # I really knew it was fake. I called the # they gave me just to see what they would say and I got an answering service. Then I looked up the # online and found this website. Please beware of these scams. Never give anyone your checking account or debit card info!!!!
Know it was fake going to my local gov since I live in by FBI my be one of my stops. Want to know how they got all this info since my home phone is not in my name and in is private. Plus you need to apply for gov grants they don't just give out money like that endless u apply for it.
P.S. IF YOU CHECK THE FORUMS ON THIS SITE.......YOUR QUESTIONS HAVE PROBABLY ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED COUNTLESS TIMES BEFORE !
PLEASE NOTE !!! THESE SCAMMERS ARE ALSO IMPERSONATING THE US GOV'T / SEVERAL GOV'T OFFICES AND PERSONS....BEWARE !!!
- new twist is they are also impersonating DEA officials with threats to arrest you unless you immediately send money via wire transfer / western union to some offshore country !!!!! obvious scam !!!
some are landlines...many are cell phones...some are spoofed and linked to offshore foreign countries !!!!
we've traced back most of these numbers to offshore foreign call centers in INDIA / THAILAND / AFRICA / JAMAICA ETC....
here's a few other numbers posted from the same area code offering a wide variety of scams / fake emails and scams after posting something on craigslist ( old scam ) ...... collecting for non existant " payday loans "....free money / scam giveaways / calling on behalf of a humane society..... $1,000's in free gov't money......... etc etc.....stories change out all the time......and the usual nonsense!!!
** mysteriously call to claim they have several thousand of dollars to send you....just provide you bank account and credit card right away etc etc.........scam scam
several of these are the usual long ongoing scams such as : you have won a free walmart / bestbuy gift card....or you have won a free ipad etc......all long ongoing scams
202-621-0436 ( offshore foreign call center ? ) poor english and violent on the phone! claim to be giving away $1,000's in free cash....just give them all your personal info etc........
