They are saying a $7500 a Government grant. I was suppose to call this number. Wanted my birthday which I did not give. Figured it was scam. Said she was from Washington DC. Area code said call was from Kansas.
Caller ID unknown name and number. This was the # she gave to call 316-444-1718. Lady had an accent.
