I received a call today from this number even though I an not on the do not call list they called my call number I told them I was on the do not call and the foreign speaking girl hung up
I got a call from this number on my cell phone from a very hard to understand individual with a foreign accent and he told me I was selected to receive a free government grant for $9,200 because I was a good citizen who paid my taxes, did not file bankruptcy and did not have a criminal record. This is the number I was told to call to get a $9,200 government grant. I was also given a "grant ID of GG1105".
