Received a call from this #. Gentleman on the phone said he was calling from the U.S. Treasury Dept. and I had been selected to receive a grant of $9,000 that I would never have to pay back. I hung up before I let him finish his spiel. This is obviously a scam.
Caller ID said ticket master, Middle eastern or Indian accented person said he was calling because I won two free round trip tickets on Delta Airlines. I said great - how much will this cost me? He said nothing absolute no cost. He then forwarded me to a supervisor, a woman who could barely speak English, she asked a couple of basic questions, and then line went dead
Called from this number with Caller ID of TicketMaster. Looking for Donna, but no Donna lives here. Same guy (or at least another guy with an Indian accent) called back a minute later from a different number, 888-566-9799 with Caller ID of "800 Services", asking again for Donna. Obviously not TicketMaster.
Caller had thick middle eastern accent and told me I qualified for $7000 grant from US Govt. I played along for awhile, mostly because I was bored. He told me, I had 2 options to receive money. By cash or automatic bank transfer. I realized they wanted bank info, so I chose "cash". I was then told to write down important numbers (which I didn't). When the caller realized I wasn't writing down number, he asked me "are you foolish?", then told me I had a mental problem and needed to go to the mental hospital. Then I asked, "Does this mean, Im not getting $7000?", he said "F#%K you. A$$ Hole and hung up.
