I don't answer calls from numbers I don't know.....EVER ! Because 99.99 % of the time it IS a scam
I will always do a search on the@number that called and then block it.
Got a call from these foreigners from this number (206)317-1677 and the guy name was Eric Martin and was asked for bank account information or credit card number for a grant of $7000.00 from The Grant Dept but I had to pay a processing fee of $200! Yes they had my address and my cell number and knew my full name! I searched the number while on the phone and found out it is a scam number! I did not provide any information to him other than what they already had. I pray that no one falls prey to these people! These scammers are taking over with these scams! This has got to stop!!!
I also got a call from a foreigner claiming I was one of 1700 lucky people who qualified for a grant of $7000 that could be used for anything I wanted. It also never needed to be paid back. I could get the money put on one of my credit cards, or could receive it in cash. I listened until the processing fee was mentioned. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
I received this call on my phone, I missed the call, and when I returned the call all I got was a hello, no business name or anything, then they hung up on me. scammers lol
I have received a call from 253-843-6171 and this guy told me that he was from the United States Government. He stated that I won $7,000.00 and in order to claim the money, I had to ask for Maverick Campbell at this number, 206-317-1677. Plus, he gave me an ID number of SC 113. I figured that it was a scam and I didn't give him any additional information. Also, I blocked the number that he called me from.
