I got a call from this number at 6 o'clock in the morning, and when I answered it, nothing was on the other line. I'm pissed because it woke me up, and no one in their right mind should be calling that early in the morning!! Unless its a life or death situation!!
I have recieved the calls numerous times now and have not picked up the phone.They called at 1:32 am one night and my boyfriend picked up the phone and it was a man breathing very very heavily and when my Boyfreind said hello they hung up. Does anyone know how to make it stop?
I RECEIVED A CALL ON FRIDAY NIGHT. TELL ME I WAS TO GET A GRANT FOR 35.000AND HE NEED TO GET MY ACCOU,T NUMBER AND THE BANK ROUNTING NUMBER. ITOLD HIM I DIDNT IT AND HE FIND IT FOR ME. AND ASK ME FOR MY ACCOJNT NUMBER SO I GAVE IT TO HIM BUT ONE NUMBER WAS MISSING . AND I WAS LOOK FOR HIM TO CALL BACK .BUT UNFORTUNATELYHE HAVE NOT CALL BACK.
i got 3 calls from this number the 1st one i didnt get to in time {lucky me }, the 2nd one i did get ot and the guy told me i had a 5000.00 grant for if i gave him my bank info acct num and such, i laughed at him and asked him if i really had that much money coming to me you can send it to me on the mail so we went around and around, i didnt get the money ha ha...the 3rd time i told him i was going to report this to the FBI. the next thing i now i was talking to 3 diffrent people and the last one i talked with was very rude and told me im your dad, and hug up. so if you see this number on your cell phone DONT ANSWER IT!!!!.....its a scam!!!!!
I too received a call from this # - a guy with a heavy Indian/[***] accent. Said he was calling from the US Gov & that I'd just won a $5'000 gov grant because I'd paid my taxes on time & they want to reward me!! (yeah right!) I don't have to repay it. Their department will give me a password - Must not tell my friends. It's bank to bank transfer only through US Bank, what is my account #? He confirmed my name & address, so I said it seemed he had his ducks in a row so just to pay it in or alternatively mail it!!!! He said he didn't have my bank a/c details to which I replied then don't bother as I'm not giving you those details, conversation closed & hung up. He called me back & asked why I hung up on him... can you believe it? lol
Be careful, they're persistent & can make up other 'almost believable' stories. DON'T GET SCAMMED. Be wise with your answers to them too - don't get yourself scammed out of $5k.... that's what will happen :(
