I just got a call form this number saying the Goverment wants to give me $9200 grant I can use for anything. When I asked how much it is $195 processing fee. SCAM!!
• There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
• If it sounds (or looks) too good to be true, it probably is.
• You have not won big bucks from a benign benefactor, a pot of pesos from PCH, dinero from a doctor, or a grant from a gracious government <<<<<<<<<<<
• The tooth fairy really does not exist
• Everything you read on the internet is not necessarily true.
• It is illegal to ask for money for a loan or prize, before awarding the loan or prize!
• "Free Trips" are loaded with mandatory & costly extras, and you usually must give them your card number after listening to a loooong spiel at a hotel.
• Microsoft or one of their agents did NOT cold call you to fix your computer.
• The moon is not made of green cheese.
• The IRS will snailmail you, rather than phone you, if there is a problem.
• Jackalope milk is not an aphrodisiac.
• If you "green dot", MoneyGram or Western Union money to a scammer, the money is gone.
• You should beware of Greeks bearing gifts, specially if the gift is a wooden horse with termites.
• The 876 area code is NOT your lucky number, and does cost money to call it!

Got a call from 835-093-8644, recording that said I was being sued by the IRS and that this call was from the IRS, I was told to call 202-697-9143. Very bold scam. I searched the number and came up with this site so decided to post. I anyone reading this receives a similar call don't be fooled and don't call back. This has been reported to the FTC at www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov. Interesting though, I was audited last November and passed the audit. - makes you wonder if someone in the IRS is selling phone numbers.
