I've gotten close to 10 calls from these people...the man who I spoke to had an Indian accent & when I told him I don't want them calling me again he said, "no, wait"!! Just now, when I answered to say I reported them, it just hangs up!
We have gotten 2 calls from this number so far. The first one told us we won a government grant because we had such great credit. He kept asking my husband if he trusted him. My husband played along & said yes what do I need to do. The guy with the strange foreign accent didn't answer him. My husband lied & told him that he didn't understand because we had recently filed bankruptcy. The guy then told him he was going to report my husband to the proper authorities. My husband told him he was just a scam artist. The guy then told my husband that he could [***]. My husband laughed, used some colorful language & then hung up. Today I got the call. The person sounded like a growling troll. I couldn't understand a single thing he said & I hung up.
