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.
This multiple scam operation has a whole bank of phone numbers in Los Angeles starting with (213) 640-3021 and ending with (213) 640-3052. Why can't the State of California shut these people down? Note: I've been keeping track of scam phone calls for eight years and keeping track of where they come from. There are nine states I show have NOT A SINGLE scammer coming from their states: Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Mississippi, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Vermont. How do they do that? Someone should inquire of those state governments and see how they have prevented scammers from registering or operating in their states.
