I got a call initially from 206-000-1212, whereupon a heavily Indian-accented woman from the "U.S. Federal Government Grants Department" told me I had been selected to receive a $9000, tax-free grant. Since wasting tele-scammer's time is now a hobby of mine, I played along. She gave me the confirmation number A347, and asked me to call the "Finance Department" at 206-823-3234 to make arrangements for the transaction to receive my grant. I blocked my caller id, then called the number , gave them my confirmation number and a false name. They had to "check their files" twice, then I was transferred to a very surly Indian woman who said "I am very busy. Do not use this number again." Well, at least I took up some of their bandwidth and kept them from using that time to victimize someone who would actually fall for this [***].
