I would get a $9,000 grant from US Government. This is the fourth call I have received with the same message. I hung up on the other three, but listened to the last one, who said her name was Florence Wilson (the same name as my aunt who is deceased). I called them back and told "Carolyn Thomas" the person who would release the funds that it was a scam. She didn't get to the point where it would cost me money. When I told her I knew it was a scam, she hung up on me.
The good old USA should fine and somehow put these idiots out of business who prey on gullible folks.
hi, just got the sam phone call government grant, yadayda, 9000. gave me a confirmation number ID WG112, and to call Carolyn Thomas @ 206 923 9681. Did not do this as I knew something was up and it was definitely funky, but my husband heard me and thought it might be a phone scam to use your number to call timbucktu and talk for hours on your dime. Then i freaked out.
I almost believed this scam, some guy with what sounded like a middle eastern accent told me I qualified for a $9000 grant. Being a college student that sounded so frkn great, $9000 to help with my nursing career funds. So he gave me a number (206-923-9681) to call to speak to his supervisor and person in charge of the grants Caroline. Well I called her just to see what she would say and sure enough she told me exactly what she told all of you. I had to get a green dot paks card and put $210 on it sorta like a security deposit, but I would get it back with the $9000. So I hung up the phone and I looked for a website that would tell me if it was a scam and sure enough Caroline Thomas is a $9,210.00 scam that I would of almost fallen if it weren't for my boyfriend who told me to do some research first, I would of probably lost $210.00, money I would later need for one of my college books.
I got this call as well. All the same info as the above people gave. Decided to check it out online and found this - thank God! I don't even have the money they request in order to get the $9000. Could have really used this.
Just called me 206-923-9681 was a number I was told to call to receive $9,000 grant. I didn't call of course but Google it an found many post like mine.
