Received call from 315.285.4202 saying they were the IRS filing law suit against me. I am a telecommuter and they called on my work line. I asked them where they were located. Strong accent, hard to understand.....and then Washington DC zip xxxxx. When I kept asking questions to confirm who, why, etc. and if they knew they were calling a work line, they hung up. I see with internet search that this is a scam number.
SELECTED FOR A GOV. GRANT .A Max Steven, said fed ex guy will deliver 7,000 check to door. we r to go to bank together cash check. Then I am to hand over a 200 voucher purchased at pharmacy near by for delivery fee. BANKS DO NOT GIVE FULL AMOUNT OF CHECKS. fed ex guys do not go to banks with U This was a call back # given Different then one received 4060
Got the same call, for a GOVT GRANT (that you do not have to pay back!!). As soon as I can get to a local Walgreens and buy a voucher card, (to give to the FED EX delivery person) then I was supposed to call this number back and FED EX would come right out with this check and go with me to a bank to cash it. Really? Since when would you have to pay a $199 fee to get 'FREE" MONEY? By the way, I was to receive $9200 for basically being a good citizen, paying my taxes and mortgages on time. What a hoot!!
I read about this scam on the internet, got a great idea from someone else they tried to scam. Stay on the line and stall for time so they rack up long distance charges on their end. Eventually, they will hang up on you instead.
