I received a call from 206-596-0657 to my cell phone. My phone alerted me that the number is labeled as SPAM so I didn't answer. After reading the reports listed from others I have blocked it on my phone.
They keep on calling my number telling me that the government has issued a $ 9.000.00 grant to my name. A government officer named Michael James called me from the number 206-596-0000.he told me to call 206-596-0657 and to give them a code GG2099. when I called somebody with a Hindu accent answered. I smell scam all the way and these calls are very annoying!
I keep getting calls from arabic sounding people saying they are from the federal government grants dept with $9,000. this not the only number that has been harassing me. I told them if this is a official US Government business there would be a official documents sent to my house with official seals and number to call the FBI to verify or you can go to the FBI and verify. When i say this they usually hang up or get an attitude or cuss you out. Scam, this need to be investigated by the FBI because they are claiming to be with the Federal Government.
This number calls all the time phishing for information. They claim that because I am an upstanding citizen, no criminal report, no debt, etc. the government wants to give me $9000 grant money. I proceeded to listen to them and they wanted me to confirm MY information, as if the government doesn't have my information. ...Whatever! The last time they called I informed them that if the government wants to give me money, they know where to find me. I've been through many cyber identity classes after having worked for the government and this is the ideal way to phish for information about you. I do NOT trust this number and since the last phone call they have called 3x with in the hour. ...
