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
The same ppl called me AGAIN. This time it was a woman and the caller ID only had a 4 digit number: 1014. She gave me the same story about the government grant program, to which I replied "no [***] you're not from the government. You're part of a huge scam. Don't effing call me again!!" She called back 10 minutes later with the same 4 digit code on my caller id. I answered, and blew my rape whistle into the phone. They didn't call back. :)
Got a phone call while I was in the grocery store. I don't answer calls from unknown numbers so I ignored it. Less than 30 seconds later they called back again. I was in the middle of a phone call so I ignored it. Judging from these I'm glad I didn't answer. How do they get cell phone numbers?!
I got this phone call as well. He went on telling me about all of this and I figured what the hell, I'll listen even though I knew it had to be a scam. He verified my info (which scares the hell out of me that they know) he asked for my birthday and I told him that the gov't should know that but I verified that also, but when he asked for my last 4 numbers of my social, that was when I was done. I told him that I wasn't comfortable with it and he told me that since it all was being recorded that they had to prove it was me and that was also the reason for my b-day vrification. My mom was with me and told me that I should ask for a number, that if this was legit that they would allow me to call back and to finish. I faked an emergency and he kept trying to get me to finish and told me that no one had time to call me back but he gladly gave me his number which is 253-785-0194. He had a think Indian accent and He got snappy when I asked why he needed this info and what not. I told him that I would call him back tommarow, but I'm not going to at all. I plan on blocking that number if it calls again.
I just got a call from this number from "John Harris" with a thick Indian accent. It's Labor Day and they called at 8:15PM to tell me they were calling from the US Government to let me know that I was chosen to receive a grant. I asked how they got my info and what branch of the government and he said, "Ma'am, its the US GOVERNMENT!" I told them I would report them if they called again. Don't fall for it!!! It's a total scam. We all know the government is closed on Labor Day and wouldn't be calling late at night.
someone called me told his name is robby wilson, with a indian ish accent, he said i have been chosen for 5k from the government, asked for my bank accoiunt number and last four digits of social....these scammers need to be located and sent to jail...
