When I went online looking for colleges. I started reserving calls 8 times a day from a 202 and 408 area code. Guess I'll never lookup colleges online anymore. It's getting to be rediculous.
I talked to this English as a second language person for quite some time, I figured it was a scam from the moment he opened his mouth as he told me he was calling from the Federal Govt (not the United States Govt) and that I was going to be given a govt. grant. I asked him how that could be since I hadn't applied for a grant, and he said I didn't need to the gov't was just going to GIVE ME MONEY....HAH, Anyway, told him NO THANK YOU and hung up in the middle of the call...they've called back several times. It's my work phone and he never got the opportunity to ask me any personal information.
