I figured it was a scam from the start, it called me yesterday and i just hung up. Today I listened though just to see what it was about and same thing. The guy knew all my info have me a code and this number to call. I didn't bother calling.
Its a fraud... Anyone who tells you that you have to purchase a Money card to get money is not Real... This happened to me about a year ago and I ended up spending almost $700 in a green dot money card and didnt recieve any money back.. They will use the card to get your money that you spent off of the card... DONT FALL FOR IT!! Please
I also received a call from this number just 2 days ago First it was a male who called numerous times which I finally answered and he hanged up then a then a Lady called me she said i was entitled to a 7000 grant money but had to buy a green dot moneypak and keep $200 in it which I found weird I told her I was at college and could not do it at the moment she rudely said so what do want me to do with your money I hanged up and decided to look for this number on the internet I searched this page WWW.phonevalidator com which I found this;
Phone type: Landline
Location: Seattle, Wa
Phone Company: Possible Skype, Vonage or other VOIP phone
Carrier: level 3
I also downloaded a call recorder and true caller id & block apps.
I'm 18 I was kinda exited because it could've been money to help me pay for college supplies but then it seemed to good to be true I hope none of this happens to anyone else. Remember you should not have to pay for something you have won
Same thing happened to me!! This is creepy. Wow I'm so glad I researched this number. The lady said her name was Megan Merris. She's expecting a call from me at 3 to make sure I bought the green dot card and deposited $200. I figured it was a scam. I blocked the numbers
I have received 2 calls telling me to call the number in question stating that I was to receive $7,000 dollars in grant funds from the Government. The incoming call was listed as "Unknown" the first time then "Private" the second time. The man on the end of the line kept repeating the word "government" as though it was supposed to silence all suspicions about the call. The man on the other end of the line did not speak English well and had a very thick Hispanic accent. I did not call the number in question nor did I confirm the call since I had a feeling that the number was a hoax. I wanted to know if anyone else has received this call and the confirmation number MM521.
