I just got this same call, I he wanted to put 14.000 into my bank. I told him my bank account was frozen because someone hacked into it. And I don't have credit cards. He wanted me to drive to a store near me with him on the phone and buy a gift card for a 1.00 and he would put it on there. But I could not use this money on gambling, alchol, cigarettes, or drugs! I told him I live in a state where you can't drive and be on your phone. He said he would call back in an hour!! I got a call two weeks ago from someone with the same accent and he had all my information, my bank account number, social security, so I had to go through the hassle of changing everything!! I'm so glad these people have nothing better to do but scam people and spend their time doing all of this, maybe they should just get a freaking JOB and we could all get aet along better. I don't care where they are calling from, it's a bunch of crap, if I can go on reverse caller and see the area they call from why can't they caught up with. I get the law has important things to do, but is it right that they probably get 1 out 20 calls an older person who is struggling, alone, and this sounds like a really good break for them and fall for it, then within a day they are worse off them before? And have nothing? That could be your grandpa, or dad or a distant uncle. Who's going to help them? These calls need to stop. We have freeways that the sides have trash that need picked up, graffiti that needs washed off, if they don't want a regular job and want to be in the land of opportunity,let's give the opportunity to clean it up, instead ruining and stealing from weak and desperate people. Ok. Taking my soap box and going to block yet another number!!
A foreign guy (he sounded Indian/Pakistani) was telling me that he was calling from the United States government department of health. He told me I was going to get $14,000 something grant. He said I was picked out of 200 something people to receive a grant because I am not listed as somebody who has filed bankruptcy and I am listed also as somebody who does not have a criminal record. I told the guy that I know it was a scam because I have not applied for any grant, I have absolutely no reason to be receiving a grant ESPEICALLY from the government, and the government does not just give out money like that and I do actually have a criminal record I've been to jail a couple times (he got very silent at that point), and I told him that US government does not give out phone calls like this. Then I told him if this is a scam I'm gonna be pissed and I'll kick his ***kin a**. LOL. And then he told me to stay on the line so I could speak with his manager, and then he put me on and endless hold. ....... He hung up on me.
This number called me yesterday too while I was at work. I missed the call and then try to call back but it was just ringing ringing ringing ringing ringing. No answer & no voicemail pickup. Just ringing. And then the number call me back again today, I answered it because I thought it might be my brother who doesn't have his own phone he borrows other people's phones to make phone calls.
