A woman called me today claiming to be with the United Ststes Treasury. She said the U.S. Government was giving me $7800. Got my account number and then informed me I had to pay $265.00 transaction fee. That was a red flag. So, I withdrew my money from the ATM and called the bank and put a hold on the account. I spoke to a lady with claiming to be linet lee with a foreign accent.
Person called and told me that the Gov't. was giving me $7,500 for xyz reasons... They had my full name, address and cel number. If I wanted the money I had to give them an account number or a credit card number... obviously I refused to give any such information, so the caller ask me to call this number for verification and to get a money gram sent... I do not plan to call. Btw, the person that called spoke with a heavy foreign accent.
