GOT A CALL NO MESSAGE, CALLED BACK ENGLISH FOREIGNER, PROBABLE SCAMMER, ONLY SAID THE PERSON YOU ARE TRYING TO REACH NOT HEAR ,AND GOES TO MESSAGE BOX,ARE YOU KIDDING,GREAT JOB JERKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. JUST HUNG UP NOT ANSWERING ANY MORE.
Got a call from this number, foreigner on the other end tried to tell me that I was going to recieve a grant. They said they are the grant division of the federal government and are located DC. Then he said they could get me the $ by tonight via FedEx for $199. (Which is not possible as FedEx cannot do same day deliveries. I know this because I work there.) At this point I know this is a scam so I ask if I can just pick up my "check for my grant $". He initially started to agree but then said if I came and picked it up it might cost me more $. I told him that was fine but then when I was trying to get his address, he told me the phone number he was calling from and said that he was in DC and that I needed to send him the money so I could get my check via FedEx. At this point I told him he was full of it there is no "fee" to receive a grant thus the term grant, and told him I was reporting him to the FBI and to never call me again
We've be receiving umpteen calls from this number and many other numbers from the same business same agents asking for a Chris Green. We tell them there is no Chris Green at this number & ask them not to call again but the calls have continued every 30 minutes from 9 AM to 6 PM - this is day 3! Even talked to a Manager who wanted to know if I'd be interested in a Payday loan & he still didn't remove our phone number from their call list. Calls that go to voice mail result in messages from the same agents for Chris Green to let them know that their online application for a Payday loan has been approved for up to $1,000 and a phone number for Chris Green to call.
Caller: PAYDAY LOANS
Call Type: Telemarketer
I keep getting these calls as well about a grant and as anyone knows anything that comes from the US government is free... what i always like to do is come Google the phone number to see what everyone else is saying . Thank You to all who keep us informed through these posts.
