FRAUD ALERT - These people have called me half a dozen times in the last 24 hours. First it was a grant of $9000; today it's $7,800. The US Government does not pick random people to offer grants to and say you can spend it how you want as long as it's legal. How can I get them to quit calling!!!???!!! I've played the game a little, keeping them on the phone to waste their time since they are wasting mine, or telling them that their call is now being traced and location tracked and to expect the FBI shortly! But I'm really tired of it. The men, they start cursing at you or laugh and threaten to call you even more if you say they are harassing you.
My call was from a broken-english speaking person who said I received a grant for $7,950.00 on anything I want to use it with. He ask how I wanted to recieve it check or cash and I said check. He got mad and said check will take 30 days or more. OK,thats fine. I ask how was he gonna get me cash, you can't mail cash. He then said I had a negative additute and he would have to cancel the grant, did I have any more questions. Yes, I said, how do you get people cash? He said Western Union I said great I have a Western Union 2 miles away send it. He said No you already have been cancelled. He got all flustered when I was questioning him. I knew it wasa scam when I picked the phone up. DON'T FALL FOR THIS, THEY WILL KEEP CALLING BACK.
**BEWARE**
I received the same call on a multitude of times and would ask him very in depth questions and he would hang up...a couple weeks later he would try again, so when I questioned him on if it was really government issued why are you blocking your number so he gave me a number 315-625-1563, I never called because I know its a scam just by the in depth questions I was asking him....so I would beware my friends, if you have 150 to blow on this then u have 150 to donate to a local children charity etc. at least have your money go toward something worthy :)
