I received a call that was initially showi g as private..I was told that I was selected to receive 9000.00 from the fed gov to do as I plz but I needed to call 2039876785 and speak to David Ortiz and pay 200.00 to cover fees of which I'd get back. IF I receive this money and don't have to pay it back.. I'll worry abt the taxes DUH you've already sd that I pay my taxes on time. I'm NOT giving you my money to rcv money tht I supposedly am getting "FREE".
SCAM SCAM SCAM!!! NOT getting me!
I got a phone call. The caller told me that I had a free 9000.00 grant from the government.Also told me I would need to go to Walmart to use money gram to receive the money. Then told me that after this call ended I need to call 203-987-6785.So I called and talked with Anthony Gordon @ ext #011. He explained that I would have to pay 220.00 to get registered to receive the money. Free Government Grant.... I knew it was a scam the whole time... The original call came from 000-000-0000 . This is the second time in 6 months I have gotten this type of calls. I like to play dumb with them.
In another variation of this scam 'government officials' call to offer a 'Government Grant': 'Because you pay your income taxes on time, you have been awarded a $12,500 government grant! To get your free grant, simply give us your checking account information, and we will deposit the grant into your bank account!' You may receive a message like this, where the caller claims to be from a government agency or some other organization with an official sounding name. The caller might claim that you will qualify to receive a "free grant" to pay for education costs, home repairs, home business expenses, or bills. In any case, the claim is the same: your application for a grant is guaranteed to be accepted, and you'll never have to pay the money back. This is some information I found as well
A women "named" trinity allson ext:555 answered and has assured me that she's an honest women and this was not a scam??? Question: Why do I have to pay money for registration 245??? And yet be promised ill get it back?? I don't think so...
I receive a call from Alex Smith extension 113 they ask me to pay those 200 for state registration in order to receive the grants, I don't trust them! ITS SCAM!
Amanda Alison ext. 777 for $9,000 of a federal grant for my own purpose n I had to pay a fee of 289 for a state fee personally thru moneygram to a rodney race n I would receive money after wards. Please people don't fall for these jerks with no life.
