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.
Who would take it seriously? Obviously you for carrying the conversation as far as you did instead of just hanging up. News stories have been all over the TV and radio about these scam calls
It's simple. Telemarketers can no longer call you when you are in that list, but these spam calls just use that list as a reference for real numbers. Then they call everybody on there.
