I called this number back and they told me I had to pay a state to state transfer fee of $250.00 and I would receive, by Western Union, a grant in the amount of $10,250. They have not fooled me but someone is going to fall into this trap. You cannot understand the telemarketer and it sounds like a thousand people in one box making the calls. Not getting my money!
At 11:05 a.m. I recieved a call that was quite inaudible. When I asked who this was said his name was Mark and thay he was a varifications officer and that I qualified for a $10000.00 government grant for being a good citizen and paying my taxes on time. Then he mentioned something about a card of some sort. Very noisy background as if thousands of people in same room. He had a thick foriegn accent and had me take down some varification #. I attempted to call # given to me and it just rang continuously. Then I tried calling back the number he called me from and it said incorrect # or code. Definitely a scam. But who do we report this to? Thenumber came in as 253-205-0739 and the number I was told to call U.S. Treasurey at was 360-967-4473 and my ID # to give when I called was HR532. This is quite concerning to me.
