just a fyi that there is a huge and never ending amount of fraud and scam calls from the " 202 " area code"............
HERE IS SOME HELPFUL INFO , SO WATCH OUT !!!
some are landlines...many are cell phones...some are spoofed and linked to offshore foreign countries !!!!
we've traced back most of these numbers to offshore foreign call centers and scammers working out of , but not limited to..... in INDIA / THAILAND / AFRICA / JAMAICA ETC....
*** THESE LOW LIFE LOSER SCUMS ALSO IMPERSONATE US GOV'T AGENCIES AND OFFICIALS ( CIA / FBI / IRS ) AMONG MANY OTHERS..........
they will at times leave obviously fake messages that they " have caught you " in some type of mysterious drug operation and related fake stories / messages"...........( just one of numerous fake stories )....others noted below.............
here's a few other numbers posted from the same area code offering a wide variety of scams / collecting for non existant " payday loans "....free money / scam giveaways / $1,000's in free gov't money......... etc etc.....stories change out all the time......and the usual nonsense!!!
** mysteriously call to claim they have several thousand of dollars to send you....just provide you bank account and credit card right away etc etc.........scam scam
several of these are the usual long ongoing scams such as : you have won a free walmart / bestbuy gift card....or you have won a free ipad etc......all long ongoing scams
202-621-0436 ( offshore foreign call center ? ) poor english and violent on the phone! claim to be giving away $1,000's in free cash....just give them all your personal info etc....
Got the same call from this number. I did not answer and no message left. I am so happy to have posts like this so I will NEVER answer this number. How do they get your cell phone number anyway?
I received a call from this number twice yesterday for the first time ever. I was not able to pick up either time. I am very happy that people have documented so many of these calls, so I know that I will never pick up a call from a 202 area code.
I will be notifying my friends and family of this scam, as my father is pushing 80 and has a mild case of diabetes. He would be easily ensnared by these cheats and deceivers.
