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 just got a call from this number. I couldn't help but to laugh when he started to explain my lucky number was drawn and I was winning $7,000. Then he wanted to know why I was laughing and hung up. Really - What a scam!!! His number is now blocked in my phone!
I've said it before and I'll say it again...DO NOT answer calls from area codes you do not recognize.. always check ID sites when I get a call like this...they may keep calling for a short time but if you don't answer they eventually give up...can also block the call
Foreign gentleman called and asked for my name and address to verify info. He then proceeded to say that a survey was done last December to determine people who have paid their taxes, income tax on time. He then told me that I had been selected for a grant of $7000.00. He gave me a confirmation number and a phone number to the account department. That department would verify and set things in motion. Needless to say, I did not give him my address or make the call. I went straight to this sight and looked it up. What a scam..
