The woman could barely speak English and said my name and number came up in a drawing to receive a $9,000 grant from the Government. Said it was a one day only chance and she kept asking questions trying to make me say "yes" or "ok".
Called and told me that he was from the Federal Government and I asked him why he was working on a Federal Holiday (President's Day). Some people are just way too STUPID! The man was foreign and hard to understand. I hung up on him.
They called but the caller ID said the call was from Egypt so I answered and then hung up quickly. From reading these comments I can tell it's another one of those scams from a foreign country where they think we are so stupid we're gonna give them what they want.
I actually got this call just now I got a miss call earlier this morning and got a second call saying he's from the Federal Grants Dep. I wasn't really paying attention to the call there was too much noise but I gave them my 16 digit code, and now that I'm thinking about it I'm starting to get hella scared that I just handed that over without giving it a second thought. Is there anyway he can access my account with just that number??!!
