I have received several calls from someone pretending to be from the government saying I have been chosen to receive a $7,000 grant that I don't have to pay back. I asked him was this the US government and he just kept saying the government with a thick accent, but his name is Patrick Snyder. As we get further in the conversation, I find that I have to purchase what they call a green dot money pack with $300. Well I hung up. I still get calls at lease once a week, always a different name but same accent.
