Came through as Cell Phone DC on the caller id. Answered and after a brief moment where the call connected, the person said, "This is the U.S. Government and you have been selected to receive a $9000 grant from the government. I'm sure you..." I cut her off. She could barely speak English. The call center was SO LOUD that I could barely hear her. And when I told her it was a scam she hung up on me. There is another site where nearly a hundred people have reported the same call with various responses from the callers including "f&^k off." Btw, they won't mail a check, they will only deposit money directly to your bank account (which means giving them personal information so they can steal your stuff) and others have stated that they want you to pay first. Um... no.
They called and said I had been selected for a ten thousand dollar grant from the government that I did not have to pay back. I said I was not interested in a very firm voice and they hung up. The number originally showed up as only 0's on my caller id. Stupid scammers
I was in class and did not answer but this number has called numerous times leaving odd messages. All you can hear is people talking, loud noises and in several loud coughing in the background. I am not sure who is calling but I would like them to stop.
Received call offering a randomly chosen $8000.00 US Government grant. The call center was so loud and the foreign accent so thick that I could barely understand. As I prodded to get more information about how my phone number was chosen the caller got frustrated and abruptly hung up. I have received other calls from unknown phone numbers in New York (347-502-2674), Connecticut (203-549-8620), Florida (813-359-8661) and Restricted numbers this week with no one on the end of the line.
