I recieved a call from this number telling me that they would give me a grant but first wanted to know all my personal information like my bank account numbers and things like that. They would not give me their website information or anything. Needless to say I did not give them my information, but these types of scams are becoming more common.
I received a call from this number stating that they were from a government grant organization and that my name had been submitted and I'd won a $5,000 grant. They just needed my account information to transfer funds.
There were 2 guys invovled. First guy had a heavy accent - Indian or Arabic The second man had an American accent.
They asked to "verify" my name, address, phone number, and asked for my bank account number and the last 4 digits of my SSN.
Called my bank and had the account frozen, moved funds to new account.
I received a phone call from this number today and when I asked whether they had a site I could check out, he said no. A legit government grant organization would have a website right? Well, I asked for a number I could call, to see if the organization was legit, and he gave me a number. I hung up, checked the ID, and found out that it was the same number. They called back five minutes later, but I didn't answer. So, I take it, this organization is a scam?
