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.
Got a call today from this number times two. The first was a hang up and the second time they tried to talk and acted like they couldn't hear me. It's a scam and very sad because I am sure they will target people who are vulnerable. Stupid scammers just crap. If the government would just go after these kind of people.
This number just called my phone twice. Once saying something about being U.S.blah blah then called again talking about they can't hear me when I ask who they are then hung up! Smh
Just received a call from this number 3/16/2015. The man on the other line told me the government was going to send a 7000 check for me never having a foreclosure, or credit card bills. He said he works for the government. They have my address and previous last name. He gave me the number to call his supervisor in order to confirm my identity and send the card. The number was 240-232-2113 and the supervisors name he told me was Stella. Called her, she told me to call back in 15 minutes. In the time I've found multiple scams from this number.
