This is "The Government Grant Department". Sounds legit, right? They have called everyday for a week, never a message and when you do answer there is a long pause and then a computer generated voice recording says "goodbye" and you are hung up on. I just called it back and asked to be removed from their list and was told that I am the one hanging up. Then they tried to make me feel like a loser for not wanting to accept "government grant money". Don't even bother talking with these people. Just block them.
Just got 2 call in a matter of seconds. I did not answered and I believe this is the same call I got 7 month ago saying they are from IRS. 1-360-450-0452 WA State.
Got a number of calls the week of 2/16 from both men & women from this outfit who are agressive, rude, obnoxious, and aren't native English speakers. Clearly coming from a call center. Those calls came from 209-813-4822. When pressed repeatedly, they told me their call back number was 315-889-1916. Here's the website they said I could use to find out more info about them: http://www.mygovernmentgrants.com/grant_money/customer_support.htm. Here's the site I found from the Federal Trade Commission about these scams: http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0113-government-grant-scams. I think we can report them to the FTC. I intend to try to get specific names of people before I do that. Today, they ramped it up another level. 5 calls before noon from 360-450-0452 above. Hangups after I answer. I figured out how to block the call, but I just discovered they left voice mail at 4:54pm. "I will call you again and again, bi**h." Probably because I told the loser last week that I was going to call the Attorney General on him. That was before I found the FTC procedure. Called the number on this thread back at 11:30pm tonight, and no one picked up, but someone terminated the call without having it go to VM. They picked the wrong person to jack around when they started harrassing me!
