got the same call same info and a code to call 202.738.1774 to speak with lucy walker bank director. so i hung up and searched the web as i thought it was a con being done by a very stupid less than convincing amature con man lol! Was entertaining. Come to my house I got something for you and your friends.
I received a phone call from 310-777-1324. I was advised I was 'chosen' to receive a free government grant because I paid my taxes on time, was not a criminal, and had not filed bankruptcy. I was to get $7000+. Since I didn't want to give my bank account number of credit card number (duh) I could get cash, just call 202-738-1774 and talk with Edward Brown. Well, Mr. Brown wasn't available :(. And when I returned the call to 310-777-1324, that number 'no longer was in service', interesting.
This same phone number has been calling me for a month now and i finally answered the call yesterday which was 3/20/2013. I was informed by a lady who told me i was also to recieve $7000+ because i paid taxes on time, was not a criminal & had not filed for bankruptcy. The leured me into thinking they really were the government (WHICH THEY ARE NOT). I spoke with a man who claimed to be Edward Brown. He informed me that if i wanted to recieve this money that I needed to send him $300 through Western Union. I then told him that i did not want to do this and he started threatening me sayin he was going to have his "people" come to my house and rape me. I felt threatened for my life because this man has all my information and the exact address to my house. I dont know what to do now, scared because they know where i am at and I dont know these people. What can I do??
you need to contact the local police and fraud department if they have one or FBI with all information about your call. all so if they gave you company name you need to report to the Better Business Bureau But most of it is just a bluff to extort money from you.
I just took a call from a lady from that Same310 number and she gave me the same 2027381774 number for Edward brown that I had to call in right away or its a federal offense. Not calling mr. Brown he can come kiss my [***].
I received a call today from 2029078527. Certainly this lady was unable to speak fluent english. I however, did finally get the message that I had been selected to receive $9,000.00 from the U.S. Goverment. Was given a confirmation number and was to call Account Manager Edward Brown. at 202-738-1774.....Was that an experience. I would not give any of my information to him regarding my account numbers for the money to be sent to me......He was a very nasty person to deal with !! Wanted to know "Are you Stupid" on several different times. I finally hung up on him and then he attempted to call me back twice.....I did not answer. 1st. The federal goverment is not going to give you anything (are these people crazy). 2nd. Is the federal government going to do anything to stop these people from doing this ?
