Just got a call from this number 234-5678-98 This number doesn't work to call back on. They knew my name, address and DOB. Wanted my bank info or credit card to deposit a $7,000 grant. They provided me wth a government web site www.governmentgrant.com, but I don't trust it. If it was legitimate they would send a check, which he refused to do.
I got that same number (234567898) a couple times too. The first time was some indian-speaking guy, asking for me, I replied who I am, and then he laughed and hung up. The second time, I answered, but after a few seconds, they hung up. Nothing was said this time around.
To those reading this...it's a scam these people are pulling, and they also violated federal law, by "Cloaking" their real number. Technically, ONLY bill collectors can do that, effective summer of 2005 if I am not mistaken.
Air on the side of caution with this number, and best wishes to all.
Lol, I gave the idiots my credit card info for a prepaid account that use to add funds on I will be tosding that card and ordering another one...I just wanted to see what was what, it sounded too good to be true...Its sad but its true, I'll let you know what happens. I am actually on the line with them now...lol
