This scammer calls numbers on the national do not call list in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. They further violate the TCPA by refusing to provide an address or phone number when asked. They claim to be the United Stated Government Grants Department and that the victim has been awarded a $9,000 US Government grant. This is clearly not the case, as receiving this kind of grant requires applying for such a grant... Do not provide this scammer with any personal or financial information.
I just receive a call from this phone number. I told the lady who was explaining to me exactly as stated in the other posts. I told her that is too good to be true and to send me the information at the address they have on file.
Pakistani female says I can have $9,000 and I never have to pay taxes on it or pay it back. She gave me a number to call to claim the money from the treasury department 360-824-5432 with am ID number. Sounded like a scam.
Received the same "$9,000 government grant" call ... since I knew it was a scam, i decided to have a little fun with the guy. When he offered to put the money on my "card", bank account or send by Western Union, I requested a cashier's check. He hung up. Lol.
