Same spiel from foreign guy with phone bank noise in background, given same phone number. That phone shows as cell number registered in Ogdensburg, N.Y., up by Canadian border. Scam.
Caller said that I won a free $9,000 grant. Told me to call back the Treasury Department at 315-605-2077 and give him some confirmation number. The number came up unknown on my caller id.
just received a call at my desk and i work for the fed gov. from the same people with the same like. however this guy had a super heavy african accent that it was hard to make out his words first time around. i took the number down and it was for the same number. so the gov chose me to get 9 thousand dollars based on a survey. there is no way it was me because i can not tell you the last time any body's survey crossed my mind. so im supposed to believe that im getting 9k for something i never did, just because i was chosen. secondly the fed gov will never contact anyone, written correspondence always occurs for contact. nor will the gov email anyone. such a scam.
