They call you hugging you this number to call back to receive a government grant, saying that this number is in Washington DC. Beware, they all for personal and Banking information.
Received a phone call from 315-557-6521 on 6-10-2015 and a man with a heavy accent told me he was calling from the US government in Washington DC and that I had just won a grant for $8500.00. How would I like to receive this money, I only have three choices. 1) We can deposit it to your checking account. 2) We can send it to a credit card (lol) 3) You can pick it up at a Western Union. This man provided me with an ID number for Western Union and said the money would not be released until I called his manager, Marcie. They had my address, name and phone number, I would like to know where they got my information. I figured he thought he had a fish on the hook and that his so called Manager would reel me in. I did not call the number back, which he told me I needed to call as soon as we hung up, they don't want you to take the time to check them out. I googled the phone number and it is a land line located in Westmoreland New York, not Washington DC. They are impersonating government employees. I just now received a call from the same person from a different phone number 1-226-122-1233 asking me why I didn't call the manager so they could release my money. I told him I didn't want the money and that he lied to me about where he was calling me from and that they wouldn't be getting my bank account number or my credit card number. I also told him my phone was being monitored and all calls were being recorded for scammers like him.
