My message around 4/20/15 was from 360-967-4395 and also said I've been chosen for a federal grant of $7,000. and should call back this number from 11-7 EST. I didn't, assuming it was a scam. Glad to find this site to share info re scams. Does any govt. agency follow up to stop them and where should one report them? Info on this site would be appreciated.
they just called me as well..on my cell no doubt.they hung up right away.could hear 3 or 4 others talking in the background like it was at a laundrymat or something.silly scammers,calling people prob from a jail phone.
Received a call could not understand the woman on the other end. Back ground noise was very loud. Hung up, received a call back let it go to voice mail. The vulgar nasty crude language was a good sign these people are crooks. Am thinking about going to the police because of what was said to me.
Just received a call from someone in a VERY LOUD call center- they sound like they are all sitting on top of one another, outside. Background noise was horrible and the person calling you could barely understand due to their strong accent. Same thing - government wants to send me a $7000 grant. She said, "I bet you are surprised and would like to know more." When I responded with, "No, I'm certain this is a scam," she hung up immediately. I didn't even get a chance to tell them to lose my number! :)
Work for the United States Government & can barely say it?
Does anyone really fall for this crap?
By the time I was done with this dumb [***] Indian [***] she was hanging up on me.
