I just got a call from someone with a heavy mid-eastern accent claiming to want to give me $5000 b/c I am a good citizen who pays taxes on time. He said his name was Austin Cooper and gave his return number as 209-624-8480. He insisted I would not have to give him any money, bank info, credit card number, or my SSN. He says the money is tax free and never has to be paid back. He said his web address is www.grants.gov. I didn't give him any information, not even my name. It sounded very suspicious to me. I ended the call.
Got a call from this # - no caller ID - The caller gave us this # to verify. Said his name was Steven Jones - but he had a heavy middle eastern accent. Wanted to give us a $5000.00 government grant & would direct deposit it if we gave him our bank account # - Seriously? NOT!
I got a call from an unknown # saying that I was approved for a $5,000.00 gov. grant. He didn't speak the best of english. Said his name was Austin cooper. And that if I didn't recieve the money to call him back @ 209-624-8480. What a low life. GO MAKE HONEST MONEY FOR A LIVING & DO IT IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY & STAY OUT OF THE UNITED STATES!
saying I just received a $5000 grant just because I'm a good citizen and every year the government selects 200 people to receive federal grants that never have to be paid back.
but then said they didn't need any money just the name of my bank so they
could wire it within 24 hours and then they asked for my account number.
I asked to speak to an american or a supervisor and another deeply accented voice came on saying word for word what the other said. I told them I wasn't an idiot if they got the name of my bank they could look up my routing number and they would have my account number and there you go idenity theft. duh!! then they kept offering to give me their account numbers as a trust factor I guess Is this for real????
