they called me again 1 hour 28 minutes ago i'm tired of these so called crooks calling me again about a government grant of $10,000 yeah right the old scam wanting you send money don't fall for it the caller is trying to scam they say the caller has a heavy accent
Scammer hangs up. Call back to see who called. Answer in a foreign voice as FEDERAL GRANTS DEPARTMENT, you have been chosen to receive a grant from the US Gov't. They will give you a code # to verify who you are. You tell them your age and verify your address. Then she tells you to call her supervisor and a different phone #. You call that # and it is another foreigner, this time a man. He takes your name and code # and asks you how do you want to receive your $? You have 3 choices. I chose Walmart gift card. He told me to go to Walmart and call him once I was in the parking lot. He said I would receive $9,000 as soon as I sent him $250 to cover the state taxes but that he was going to refund my $250 because he had the power to cancel those taxes but not until after I had paid them. I knew it was a scam and did not send him my $250.
When they called, they asked for my daughter so I told them they had the wrong number. He was rude and asked why I said he had the wrong number and I told him, that the person he asked for was my 12 year old daughter and his was not her phone. He still insisted on talking with her so i asked him who he was calling from and what he wanted. He hedged and asked for her again. I asked him point blank what do you want with my 12 year old daughter and he said you'll have to ask her. Then he told me to have a good day or some other canned farewell and hung up.
