I just got a call from these people telling me that I am getting a government grant and to go pick it up at Walmart. But first that want me to call 202 684 6332 for more instructions.
Left message about needing to show up in court for criminal issue, said to call them back so they can help! Looks like they have branched out into this scam. Foreign man accent.
This number called my cell just now. I picked up but caller didn't say anything. I checked here and see as of last year this number is from a scammer. I called back and got a fast busy signal.
A recorded message. Says his name is David Kim and he is with US Treasury Department. Says ignoring call will result in an appearance before magistrate. Gives a number to call back. Obviously a scam. This is the third call I've gotten with this message.
They constantly call, I don´t answer because I don´t recognize the number. It goes to voicemail, they don´t leave a message, they wait a day and then call back.l I want all these calls to stop. Can I sue them for stocking and harrassment?
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT - A NEW NUMBER TO BLOCK ON YOUR TELEPHONE
206-708-2849
I received a telephone call from the phone number listed above. I did not answer either call. Most likely the call was made from a stolen phone to avoid their call from being traced to the real party.
The first call is from a guy with an Indian / Hindi accent, claiming he's with Technical Support from Microsoft Windows. He was dumb enough to use two different alias names in response to her question. You can view a funny video that a woman made as the conversation took place when her phone was called too (see YouTube link below). Twice the woman asked the man for his name. He was dumb enough to use two different alias names in response to her question.

The other prank call I received was from this same number, 206-708-2849. This time he left a voice message (using a disguised voice) saying he was with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
