Thank you for providing this service. I used it to look up this number: 240-206-8441, as well as the "supervisor" they wanted me to call at 206-445-0531.
Same deal as most of you (except for the m---f---). Background noise, heavy (foreign) accent, $7000 grant from the US government. Guy was a bit pushy, but didn't swear. So I took down the super's name (Jack Neilson) and left it sit. Guess too long, 'cause he called back to tell me that Jack was now available and I should call him. Thank you very much...
And that's when I confirmed my suspicions here.
Simple rule: If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!
Got a call this morning from this number - same stuff - the guy couldn't say my name very well and started with the 7,000 is grant money - I just hung up. Funny, I havn't applied for any credit but I did look up my credit reports this week end.
I received a phone call from this number. they had my old address and told me I had a grant and they wanted me to confirm more info. I ask them for a conf # or phone number and they hang up on me.
be carefull, I know that usually for grants they send letters and have coded access.
I received a call this morning on my work phone. I don't answer numbers where the area code is not familiar to me. It just sends up red flags. Isn't there a language abuse on the telephone? There should be a one place fits all to send telephone numbers, like this one, so that it can be reported. I would think that it's a landline and not a cellphone number. They could do a simple trace to pinpoint where these idiots are and bingo! They woud be able to SWAT them, confiscate all of their computers. It makes me wonder how many innocent folks fell to their prey.
Received the same phone call this morning. I asked him what his 800 number was, he didn't know....Then they said "Listen, don't waist my time..." and hung up...
