Received a call stating that I received a grant of $8000 from the federal reserve. and that I needed to call this number and give them a Money Approval Number MS407 and security code 9174. Seemed too good to be true. However, they had my name and address correct. but if they were calling from Seattle (206-801-0782
Just hung up on a guy calling from 360-347-1373. Said I was going to receive an $8,000 "Loyalty Grant" from the government. He could barely speak English. I knew it was a scam, but I played along for a while and got a "grant info. number" and a "security code" number. He said to be sure and keep calling if I get a busy signal, because the government is awarding many of the grants. Please people, just hang up on these crooks. We are an elderly couple, but we know " there's no such thing as a free lunch ". I do hope they catch these criminals before too many people are hurt.
I have had these grant people calling me for 2 weeks now, i can't get them to stop. It is interrupting my life and walking up my babies from nap. I hang up, they call right back. i tell them to stop calling, they call the next day. I tell them to remove me from their call lis, they hang up and call me the next day. I've worked in law enforcement, i know this is a scam. I just want them to stop calling.
I received a call today from Seattle, Wa, 206-345-6453 telling me to call 360-347-1373 for my free $8000 Government Grant from the Federal reserve in New York, that I will never have to pay back. Wanted me to go to Western Union and fill out paper..Looked up the number while on the phone and found you guys! Thank you! I knew it was a scam just wanted to have the pleasure of telling them what was on the internet about them! *LOL* Thanks again guys!! :)
