I got exactly the same call this afternoon with the "government grant money" and being current on my taxes. He wanted my bank acct number too. When I told him I wasn't going to give it to him over the phone, he hung up.
Got a call from this number today from someone with a thick accent. Said I was randomly selected by the US government for a grant of $7k or something. When I said that the US government does not do that and that he was calling from outside the US, he promptly hung up. Clearly a Phishing scam. Please beware. Do not give your info to these criminals. The US does not call you and hand out money, this I assure you.
me too... the same as yours ... the amt they claim is the number they are tallying for contacting people ... since they are claiming to be out gov't we should contact the gov't office and also Federal Trade Commission ... the help the scamming them to be caught!!!!!!!!!!
