I just got a call from an unknown number which said it was the us department of treasury and gave me the same line and were going to transfer me to this number where the account manager with whom i was asked to cooperate so as to receive my $9,000 grant to be spent on a good purpose. The line disconnected and i ran the number prior to calling and found this... If i had $180 i would not give it to western union or any other of its type as these have consistently proven to be scams.
