Called multiple times per day over the last several weeks, once I hit "block number" on my cell phone it came through as "unknown caller"
Sixth time I answered the call, after reading this forum, and the heavily accented female caller applied the same tactics, just give her my account and routing number and a bunch of money will "magically" appear in my account courtesy of "the government."
I politely told them, since they have all the information already, to just drop a check in the mail for me. She hung up.
I received a call from this number last week, and just heard a computer voice say "good-bye." When I searched the number online, I found this page, so I was prepared when "Alice" called today. My caller ID said that the caller was from Washington, D.C., even though the phone number is missing a digit. "Alice" has an obvious accent. I don't recall the exact amount of the grant she said that I was qualified to receive, but it was in the thousands of dollars. When I asked her where she was from, she said "The U.S. Federal Grant Association." When I asked her who headed up the U.S. Federal Grant Association, she hung up on me.
Caller with heavy asian accent called from a cell while outside, windy, to phish for my bank or credit card information so that the US Gov could deposit $8,400.00 into my account within 40 minutes, as I was specially selected for the Government Loyalty Grant because I pay my bills and have not filed for bankruptcy. When I asked how many people "fall for this", he didn't understand what I meant and continued explaining the grant. I told him I did not have my purse because I was at work (not really) he promised to call me back at 11:00 am. I hope to have a bit more fun before refusing to participate.
call claimed I would receive a check for $7000.00 that I would not to repay. When I asked who they were or if I could talk to a manager, they hung up on me. They have been calling me for months.
