Just received a call from this number. Man with a middle eastern accent asked if it was me, I said wrong number and they hung up glad to see I didn't continue with the conversation with what the previous poster had to say
I got a call about 8:45 EST tonight. He asked me for my bank information and I told him I'm not giving it to you. He laughed at me and asked why. I say "well if you work for the federal government, which you so adamantly claim, you can find it very easily." He then told me that he was outside my house looking at my windows. Right then and there I knew it was BS. My husband got on the phone, told them he was in the US Military and therefore works for the government, asked for a the guy's superior and then he promptly hung up. I'm waiting for the police as I type.
I JUST RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE SAME NUMBER, AND I AM AT WORK! SAME STORY, WHICH DOESNT SOUND LEGIT AT ALL AND I HUNG UP ON HIM. IF THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO GIVE U SOME MONEY, YOU WILL GET A CHECK IN THE MAIL....NOT A PHONE CALL ASKING FOR BANKING INFO.
Same story here - Indian man asking to confirm my information and birthdate to send a government grant. He did say he was looking in my windows and described my house. Luckily I had moved from there two years ago. Ha!
Oddly enough I was on the computer at work when this number came up on my CELL PHONE! I had recently applied for quite a few jobs out of state, and almost answered it. I typed the number into the google search bar, and promptly read the first comment...I pushed my "ignore" button before the second ring! Thank you to everyone on this message board!
