Phoned @ 7:47 PM from 563-362-0253, allegedly from the Government informing I had been selected to receive a GRANT which is non-refundable. I could hear multiple of voices, as if he were part of a bank of callers. When I asked "Where are you phoning from" he would not answer and continued to speak over me, whereupon I continued readily to ask. He then shouted, "SHUT UP" and "YOUR STUPID". I discontinued the call.
Phoned @ 7:50 PM from # 202-697-7222 from same individual, now cursing and stating obscenities, which caused me to tell the caller of his inequities and therefore no ability to obtain a job in an honorable company, and discontinued the call.
Phoned @ 7:53 PM from #319-505-9922 from same individual, with continued cursing. I held the phone from my ear, and in front of my mouth, telling he was a dishonor to his parents and if married and a parent, my condolences to his etire family and discontinued the call.
These three #'s must be at the same caller bank location.
Any disclosure as to the person/company. Has anyone received a call from any of these #'s?
