They're Indian scammers-- they buy and sell information from information brokers on the street, who've gotten it from a variety of sources. Payday loan applications are a prime sort of information for scammers. Also unscrupulous employees of firms that handle a lot of personal data like insurance companies are another source of information.
DO NOT CALL ANYBODY. This is a total scam. They want a creditor debit card number so that can take your money. And basically clean out your accounts.
A male with an Indian accent called me late evening promising me grant money in the amount of $7,500. Yet, I would have to make a security deposit of $280.00 by sending it to a Maria Zumiga over in INDIA. I mindlessly did it and contacted them to receive my money. Then they informed me I would have to pay another 649.00 tax charge so that my money would be placed off hold. I wasn't going to fall for that again; which led me to do some research. I wish this was my first step.
I also received a call from these people, but I looked the number up before sending them anything. after reading everyone's post i immediately called the number back and asked for Alina. She was suprised when I asked for her by name, but told me she was the one on the line so i unleashed a diatribe. I don't think that i acomplished anything but it made me feel better, I hope she gets multiple calls like that every day
They told me i has to pay 290 for the 7,500. It was also a male with indian accent, they told me to call the managers number (202)697-9394 whos name is jasmine, but im glad i did research on it before i did anything
I too received a call from a male with an India accent.....saying that I have received a grant from the Federal Grants. I am not sure if I will call the call back # with the confirmation #. But this man had my information, where would he have gotten it from?
