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.
RECEIVED CALL TODAY AT WORK FROM 1-206-708-2849. THIS IS A SCAM. THEY HAVE GONE SO FAR AS TO CALL OTHER EXTENSIONS IN MY OFFICE. I HAVE REPORTED THEM TO THE IT DEPARTMENT IN MY OFFICE. THIS GUY CLAIMED TO BE WITH SOME FEDERAL AGENCY AND HE HAS MY INFORMATION. DO NOT RESPOND! THIS IS A SCAM. I HAVE BLOCKED THEM.
I also received a Phishing call from an individual claiming to be an IRS agent. This individual was male with a noticeable accent. The following is the transcript from the call:
"The matter at hand is extremely time sensitive and very urgent. This is officer James Olson calling you from IRS indirect hotline to my division is 716-210-8027 I repeat 716-210-8027 don't disregard this message if I don't hear from you or your attorney all I can do is wish you a good luck if this situation unfolds upon you, good bye and take care".
The individual making these calls is violating Federal law by impersonating a government employee. If you received this call please file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/
Just got a call from that number. Almost picked up. Anyways, I heard it's a major scam via the news. If you call back, they try to charge you or something. Don't quote me on that lol.
