I got the call advising the US government wanted to give me $8700 in grant money because I pay my taxes on time, not a criminal and haven't filed for bankruptcy. Gave me a money acceptance ID and told me to call back, likely because I told her that I'm not about to give my checking account information to them, and I then spoke to someone who advised me that I need to pay $199 for them to release the money to me. Haha. Not going to happen. I guess people really fall for this baloney.
I've riecieved this call as well. Same exact story as the above posts. After looking up both the numbers provided I'm very terrified that they have my email address and other information they read back to me over the phone. A man name John Parker was forwarded to me, both offering $8,700 for a grant and for the same reasons stated above. Thank you for everyone who posted here, you saved my butt from going any longer on the phone call.
A man's voice telling me that the IRS was fixing to file a suit on me and I needed to call this number to get the details of the file. Probably wanted to ask my name, SSN, date of birth, etc. A scam.
