Yet another useless tele-spammer that leaves no voicemail message and puts up "Port Angeles WA" instead of their true identity on the caller ID. I've been getting a lot of spam calls like this from many different numbers and area codes where only a city and state appear on the caller ID. Most if not all these numbers are very likely spoofed from callers that are not worthy of any trust.
Person with accent claiming I was awarded a 8,500 grant from the gov that didn't have to be paid back and I could use it any way I wanted. Knowing this was not true, and this was about the 8th time they called and I normally say not interested I decided to go along with it for more info to pass on so no one gets played by these folk. He gave am an I.D. number and a phone number to call.
I called the number and another man with an accent answered and reminded me of the grant and ask if I could get to a Western Union because they are not allowed to ask for banking info. When I told him I was on my way out the door for an appointment and wouldn't be able to get to one until maybe 8 p.m. ( it was 3:30 Dayton, Ohio time) he said that would be to late and could I possibly make it there at 7. Again reminded him of appointment and couldn't be sure. He told me that if I could to call him back and if not call him tomorrow at 12 noon.
When I asked him if there was anything I had to do, such as pick up money and return some to them (hip to that scam, TRICK NO GOOD. all he would say is that when I called him he would give me the details then.
Gonna play along and call back tomorrow. NOW I KNOW THIS IS A SAM, if govt was gonna give me free money, they got all my info. put the damm check in the mail. I will update this tomorrow
I didn't answer this number from"unknown" but called it back and got "this number is no longer in service". I am getting several calls a day from this number and five others. It is driving me nuts.
