I got a call from this number an hour back. The guy said he's calling from Department of Federal Grants, in Washington DC. I asked how come he is calling from Washington DC but is using a Seattle number. I think he got nervous and hung up. Who falls for these?
The voice mail left from this # stated they were calling about a grant I applied for. I didn't apply for any grants. It wasn't a person leaving the message either. It was an automated message.
I received an automated call from this number. I returned the call, they claim that they are the federal government and proceeded to share that they have a grant for me in the amount of $9000. I said send me the Money then. She then told me about western union and money gram.. this is a scammer..
Yes, total scam. They told me I had $9000 due to me for being a good citizen and paying my taxes on time. lol Then they said they're in Washington DC...although the caller ID clearly Seattle, WA.. I made her go into more and more specifics as to why I was so lucky to be receiving this most charitable grant. After about 5 minutes of my nonsense, she finally figured it out. I say call them just to mess with them.
