Call cames in from 991 178 4784 they say its a goverment grant of 7000 USD non taxable - no need to pay back.
Asks you to call 206 905 9201 and provide a your approval number so grant can be release. Then they say they can give funds via direct deposit to bank account, a credit card or for immediate cash western union.
I mentioned that it all seemed very suspicious - asked for a supervisor and was disconected.
I have called 911 and will be filing a report for fraude investigation.
I have been ignoring this call from 991-178-4784, after they have called and called I decided to answer it , they told me that I was to receive a grant in amount of 7000.00 from the federal government and I should call 206-905-9201 back. When I called that number she told me that I could receive the money via direct deposit to my bank account , credit card, or cash thru western union. I told her western union, then she said when I got to the western union store to call her make a deposit of 270.00 that was completely refundable and I would receive the 7000.00 grant plus my 270.00 back and she would stay on the phone with me until the whole transaction was complete and I had my money in my hands. I asked her what guaranteed me that I would get any money once I made the 270.00 deposit? She said I work for the federal government and this was her job and she didn't want to loose her job. LOL
I am glad that I thought and looked up the numbers on google and saw this to be fraud!! Beware people!!
I've also received the same call. And same exact story. Pay 270 USD and they $7000.00 and the refundable 270 back with the 7000.00 I'll be speaking with the federal reserve bank and they will release the money to me and I'll be on the phone the whole time so that they know that I receive the money. The also mentioned that I'm not the only once receiving it there are a whole bunch of other people that will also receive it.
OMG I am so glad I found these posts here. I received a call from the same no. and similar story about getting $7000 via western union, direct deposit, or credit card. I felt it was fishy and asked her for her name and she said "Sarah White." And she insisted that i call on 2069059201 to verify my details before the government could release the funds. I told her I would happily accept check, for which she said that 1500 people had been selected for this and issuing that many checks was not possible! LOL! I looked up the number and found this page :) I am glad I did not share any personal information with her.
