Second call since Friday. Same woman. First time she called (thick Indian Accent) she told me she was calling from the US Federal Grant Systems for Health & Human Services. I told her not to call me as she was calling illegally and this was a scam. By the time I got to "and this is a scam" she had hung up. She just called again and I told her again she was calling illegally. She hung up.
I just got a call from this number. His english seemed a little off, and he had an indian or perhaps mexican accent, and actually was not offering me any job opportunities, but telling me I'm his girlfriend, and that he loves and misses me, AND recalled me by my first name every time he said I was his girlfriend. He would never say who he was, but after I told him to hang up immediately, he claimed straight away he was "only joking" "Just joke!" Creepy fella, if ya ask me...
I received a call from them today informing me that I have been selected by the US government to receive $7,849 for not being late on my taxes and not having a criminal record. As I have seen with the other comments, I was promised the same thing, but never a mention of paying any money for the grant. I am very sceptic of calls such as this and would like to say that people who call asking for bank information....don't waste your time with me!!!
Wanted to inform me of a grant awarded to people who pay their taxes on time. 4 the call in 2 weeks. I asked for their info and they asked if they could call back. I told them I would have the government or the police call them back. Very persistent and asked for my birthdays and I slammed down the phone. GOT AN IMMEDIATE CALL FROM AN UNKNOWN CALLER. I have signed up for all no call lists and contacted police.
So many calls. Very interesting how many people have the same story. Pretty rediculous. Something needs to be done about this. No but it always comes up unknown....
