I received a call today stating that The U.S. Government randomly selected me to receive $9000 Dollars and all I have to do is get a green dot money pak and pay a wiring fee $320 to have it wired into my account.
Just gave these idiots the run around. I received the call from 1-000-000-0000 Private Name saying I been selected to receive $9,000 and all I had to do is call 206-201-2174 and give them the code they gave me. I sensed it was a scam so I Google'd the 206 number and thankfully found this site confirming my suspicions, so I didn't bother calling the number,but sure enough I received another call from the original number, so I told them I called and sent in my $200, this totally confused the caller with an Indian accent. after an hour or so he called me back again, this time I just acted like I didn't know what he was talking about and asked if he was talking to my son as we both had the same name. Sad thing is how many folks fall for these scams. If they call again I'm going to ask for my $200 back :-)
same exact thing happened to me.. saying I was selected to get $9,000 but I had to send them $250 out of my bank account, they then proceeded to tell me that they would wire the money to my local Walmart.. walmart does not give out large amounts of money like that.. total scam. when I caught the lady in her lies, she hung up. last I've hear from her.
