I received the same call today as the ones above. I can not believe that they are so stupid that they think we would fall for this. I pray that they are caught and brought to justice for threatening people.
Got a call from an unknown number, they advised that I won a government grant, gave me the grant ID of JJ1016. Man had an indian accent, gave me his extension number of 127 and gave me a 360-347-1087 number to call back. It was clearly a scam, and I hung up. It was a little disconcerting that he had my name, address, telephone number, and email....
This is crazy. Just got a call on my cell as "unknown", which I usually don't answer. a man with an Indian accent told me that I was chosen at random to rec' a $10,000 grant from US govt. Yeah right!!! When I asked him why is the number he is calling from is unknown, he didn't have a response. I let him talk his BS while I was on line searching for info once he gave me the above number as a call back number. Was also given a gov. money confirmation number as RJ3911 that I have to give when I call back the 306-347-1087. When I explained that it was a scam and a crock...that the us is not going to give me $10,000 cash in my hand to do with as I see fit.... that I am on line RIGHT NOW looking at this crazy stuff..... I hung up and he called right back. I did not pick it up this time and I am not going to call the number., I live in Maryland.
