I had a phone call 2014 from one lady and she told me, i won grant money of 9250$ because i pay tx and bill on time i dont have bankrupcy and she told me to call back to federal treasury (360 244 4597) and ask for david jenkins
i call and 1 guy ans the call he transffer the to david he told pay 310$ i order to get this free because i didn't not apply for this grant so pay 310 and after 10 mints i recieve 9560 i never expect but i got.
i just got a call telling me my name got picked and they was sending me a 9200.oo BUT i was to give them 149.00to western union it i talked to three people i said if i have won it why do i need to send you money i told the last lady i talked to that they were pooping in high cotton if they thought i was falling for that i told her to send it thur the post off. and i would sigh for it but nooo it would go into my checking OR western union i wish i new some one to call and report them it was two ladies and a man that i talked to and the number that they called from was blocked BUT i have the number they gave me it was 360-244-4334
I was told I was able to reviece a 9200 grant from US Gov. if this were true why are you calling block when no other government agency does? I asked the guy and the line went blank and he proceeded to ask me the same questions. He also had a Middle Eastern accent which was even less convincing. I asked him to give me his government branch and he told me he wasn't allowed to share that info. I was also given a confirmation number with the number 360-244-4334 to call back to which I never did, though I did block it.
I got the same call today that I have been randomly selected to get 9,000 I have worked for a call center before and I know the procedure of identifying yourself as legitimate company calling their customers the number the guy gave me is 360-244-4334 and said tha I qualified because I have not had a bankruptcy and that is B.S I knew that is how this was not government related so people watch out they just changed the last four numbers they are just trying to steal information!!! Or fund who knows what kind of operation. Thick accent and did not understand my educated English grammar.
I have received the same calls. They never asked for money, because I kept asking questions, such as how do I know this is the Federal government? Are you really in Washington D.C.? How do I know that you are not a fradulant company? I also said "I took a survey?" I knew they were not real. I never answered with yes, I always said hmm or I hear you, I am listening, etc. He told me to call the senior contact official. But I looked online and reported to the Federal Trade Commission (www.ftc.gov). Their phone number to file a complaint is 1-877-382-4357. I hope this helps you.
