Received this call today. 2nd in two days but from another number which I blocked. Wish there was a way to stop the calls besides blocking all their numbers
I Googled and then called the number back and the call was answered on 2nd ring. When I asked where am I calling the caller said you are calling the United States ...cough cough....., so I said sorry I got the wrong number. What United States agency answers the call on second ring without a prompt to direct the call. What a scam!
I received a call from this number, saying that I have been selected for grant sum money ($8000) from the government of US out of 1700 people in the nation, and in what way I would like to receive the money(Bank tranfer, check, cash, credit card....), and also saying my address, and full name correctly. Trying to collect all my details. I have heard lot of stories about scams, so I just hung up the call.
caller name- Jake (speaking in broken english)
Just received a call from them they hung up. I called back they said they were with the federal government and I had been preselected to receive an $8000 grant. I said "really if that's the case then what's my name?" That's when they hung up again. Chances are they are fishing for bank account info DON'T DO IT!
