Called from federal Reserve Washington DC. Access code and said don't give it to anyone because they might claim your 10000 dollars. Guys name was Edward. Lol. He was amusing. What a crock.
I got a call from this 444-444-4444 number saying I qualified for a $10.000 government grant money because I paid all my pills on time. He said I would not have to pay it back and could use it for whatever I wanted to. The guy had a foreign accent dut said his name was Alex Parker. He gave me this number to call 253-693-4892 and a 4 digit code to give them when I called it.Told me not to give my code to anyone or they could use it to get my money. I googled all this info and found out it was a scam. I called the 444 numer back first it was busy and then it said this is not a working number but a few ,minutes later some one from that number called back but I did not bother to answer it.
Of course he didn't! He was being sarcastic and why it say's NOT!
