Call stating representing Federal Gov. I had been selected to receive $7000 because I was a good citizen with no prior trouble with the law and had not taken bankruptcy in last six months. Said did not have to pay it back and was tax free. I could tell it was a Middle East call center. Thick accent. Called himself Eric. Also received a identical call from 234-678-7548.

I just received a call from 234-678-7548. It was from a guy who claimed to be a government rep named Kevin who claimed I was suppose to collect $7000 in grant money for paying my bills and taxes on time. Now I knew something was up when I heard the very heavy Indian accent and about 150 other voices in the background. but I kept up the conversation to see where this was going. "Kevin" was very pushy and did not try and give me room to think and insisted that the money was free and there was no catch, he promised that after the call and grant process completion I would be given a number to call his manager Patrick Parker who would be able to wrap things up and give me every detail behind the grant he then continued with asking my address quickly afterward unloading options to receive my wonderful $7000 grant via Direct Deposit, Visa, Master, or CASH!!! Now you know by then I had to laugh to myself and ask "In Cash are you serious!?" I couldn't believe this guy tried to pull a scam and offered cash, so of course I said "I want CASH!" silly guy didn't know what to do with himself. he then proceeded to give me a confirmation number PK5006 and a phone number to reach his ever so wonderful imaginary boss Patrick Parker 202-657-4837, stated it would take only 30 minutes to receive my CASH after I spoke with Parker and rushed off the phone shamed by a failed scam. I called the number to see if it even worked, and sure enough it rang but gave a busy signal due to all the poor souls calling that couldn't wait to see those 7Gs appear in their direct deposit. Beware
