Received a call about the same $7000Grant from the Government that I didn't have to pay back. The number was blocked. Hopefully no one falls for that. SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!!! THE GOVERNMENT GIVING AWAY FREE MONEY? YEA RIGHT!!!!
I just received a call from an East Indian scam artist who said I qualified for a $7000.00 grant. I just needed to give him a credit card number or bank account number and they would transfer the money into that account. They also said I could use a wal-mart gift card. I had to call back with a code to 202-391-0961 and talk to an account manager.
So, I received a call this morning from an East Indian guy who claimed to be from the US Government Grant Department in DC. He stated I had been selected to receive $7000 to help pay off my school loans or bills but I couldn't use it for booze or drugs. I thought to myself, "Really, this is what they are using as qualifications now"? I was suspicious from the beginning as I am not a trusting person and the accent didn't help his case. He began to ask a series of questions that anyone with a phone book would know like what is my name, address and such. Then he stated all I needed was a bank account number and I would have the money that afternoon. I don't know about you, but I work for the government and nothing moves that quick. I told him he was smoking crack if he thought I was going to give him my bank number and then he got an attitude and told me to hang up if I didn't believe him, so I did. That was that.
Oh ya it's happened to me to 7000 from us government grant money. I had to call John smith then he told me to get the 7000 I had to pay 310 for verification. I told him I didn't have the 310 he told me to barrow it from a friend. I told him if the government wanted to give me free money they would have me pay for it and they all ready no who I am. Since I was getting the money becuase I was such a outstading citizen with no bankruptcy, criminal record, and I always pay my bills.
I got a called but not from 323 617 5965. My cell phone said "caller unavailable". Eastern Indian accent who said he was from the US Government Federal Branches and I was selected because I have no criminal record, pay my bills on time, and have not filed bankruptcy. I qualified for a $7,000 grant from the government. I asked him to send me information via snail mail so I could review it because I wasn't going to give him my credit card number or banking information. He hung up. Obviously, this scam works because I see posts from two years ago. Poor people who buy into it. I think of senior citizens (some of them our grandparents) and others who really need from $$ and fall for the scam.
