I used to NEVER gets this type of call and now we get them ALL the time on both our home number and my cell phone. We finally figured out that is all started around the time I applied for health insurance through the government. Coincidence?
They said I have a grant for $7000 but I need to sent $220 through Western Union begore ivget the grant. Please no one shoud fall for this.
