A woman first, then transferred me to a man called telling me i had received a grant from the federal government and they could send it to me today. however, they asked how i would like to receive my grant, (cash, visa card, or direct deposit) i chose cash because no way would i give my direct deposit information. and he explained to me that i would go through western union, but first i needed to make a "security deposit" of 280$. He gave me his name as a employee with the federal government as Collin Edwards with the Health and Human services department. I had almost believed him.
You sounded like I did cause I chose cash too. I kept saying ummmm hmmm until they said you can get your money today. That's what opened my eyes, but when they came back and said $280 I was done.
I got the same call. The woman told me to ask for Ryan Dass. Of Course I googled the phone number and found all this stuff. I never call 202-738-1532 Back. Thanks for all your post.
I go the same call and as soon as I told them that I would not give information over the phone plus I am retired government employee her got irate and I hung up.
