wanted to know if I wanted to further my education and I said I was smart enough and did not need to get any smarter. I hung up the phone. This same number has called several times.
I received a call at 2:47 pm CT from this number. The man identified himself as "David Mason"; I repeated the name of my company and ask, "May I help you?" He then tried to tell about something but he was muffled; I explained that I could not hear him for loud background noise (obviously a cattle call room full of others named "David Mason") and attempted to adjust the volume on my phone, while retrieving my tape recording for 'quality control recording'. He then, for no reason, became to shout "F-- You, you F-n A--hole, I know where you live, you F-n B@$&#--I will come & cut your F--n head off, you F--n A---hole" then the line went dead. The number, I'm sure "spoofed" is appearing as Glenn Dale, MD (as in the city in Maryland)--I believe after his introduction he said he was with the U.S. Grant Program which got my name & number for a grant....Really?! Wow, that's an old one that's been beaten to exhaustion & they're still attempting to use it...the call sounded Indian/Hindi or from that region--I surely hope Homeland Security cracks these fools soon--they assumed I was elderly; my hubby is 60+ but I am not even close so they need to just give up all together but callers beware!!
I too was threatened, now I call them a dozen times a day and tell the Hindus that we are going to shoot their cattle. It's a scam, play along and give them fake info, it wastes their time and relieves the boredom. They're after your bank acct. Info or debit and credit card numbers. [***] [***]
I received a recorded message from this number saying I have been approved for a grant. I hung up and googled the number, read the comments of "The Minister" and decided to add some feedback as well.
received a call from this number. Recorded message told me I was awarded a $7,000 grant but I had to call them back. I just hung up and told my husband and he brought the number up. We already knew it was probably a scam.
