Got a call tonight from someone saying I was selected to receive a government grant. $7,000 in cash that I didn't have to pay. I played along with it to the point where he wanted to know my checking account, or debit card number. He spoke terrible English.. I told him to speak English, I couldn't understand a word he was saying. He got offended.. Then said "F You" and hung up..
I can't believe people fall for this... Especially if they call after 7 on a Saturday Night..
I received a call from this number on Mon. March 23, 2015 @ 7:40am. It was a computerized recording from the federal government telling me that I was going to be given a grant for $7,000.oo and to call a certain phone number. I didn't have time to get a pen & paper to write that number down, so I called back to the 301 area code number and got a recording that asking me to leave my contact info and someone would get back in touch with me.
If and when my call is returned, I'm going to act as if I'm all excited, asking questions, giving them fake numbers and then I'll ask them what color their eyes are. If they ask why I want to know, I'm going to tell them that they're so ready to [***] me and I just want to know the color of their eyes ! ! !
I was left a voice mail that said that they were from the government, looking to liquidate a loan and gave me a number to call back from 11-7 ET... Sorry... not going to fall for this one, either....
