spoke to a guy, I'm assuming he's from India and told me that I was selected by the U.S Govt for a grant that I didn't have to pay back for $7000.00. He collected some info...I already knew it was a scam. He gave me a I.D number and told me to call 347-535-4487 to talk to the claims department. I call the number and the guy there was explaining again and then I asked if it was a scam and he got really upset. Funny thing was is that he said he was in Washington D.C but as I was talking to him I was googling the number and it was a new York, Good try but you aint scamming me. Don't give out your bank info or buy the green dot money card. they will ask for the info on the card most likely and get you for that 200.00.
I received a call on my cell phone that I was randomly selected to receive $7000 grant money from the gov't. Told me my claims # and to call 347-535-4487 - asked where I wanted my money to go - my bank account or Western Union - I was not about to give out my bank acct. info. assuming it was a scam; I called the 347-535-4487 from a different number and then he wanted to confirm my cell phone number - he then told me I would have to go to a Walgreens to purchase a green dot money reload voucher for $4.95 and then load $150 or something like that on it. Wanted to know my full (first, middle initial, last name) - I would not give him my middle initial as he already had my first/last name. I finally hung up on him. Someone needs to stop this guy - it's obviously a scam - he definitely sounds like a foreigner
