Got a few calls by this # yesterday but did not pick up. Glad I investigated and found out all this information. Unbelievable what people do to try and scam!
This number just called with a woman from middle east claiming her name was wendy cooper!!!!! Yeah right!!!! She said that I was picked for a federal grant worth 7,000 dollars and that I was to go to a western union store to either recieve my cash or give my banking info. I called the bank and asked what I should do and I told him the scenario. They said that well first of all I did not sign up for a grant so it is possible that I am getting scammed. Plus he told me to google the number and see what comes up. All that came up was negative feedback. Please avoid this number because since I wasnt having to give up any money I almost fell for the stupid [***] scam!!!!
My caller said he was calling me from Washington D.C. and he was with the Federal Government. I had been awarded a grant of $7,000. I asked which department of the government he was with and he said the grant department. I told him I believed this was a scam and he said ok and hung up.
Government Grant Scams
Although government grant scams have been around almost as long as the government itself, the majority of the sites being advertised today didn't exist before the November 2008 election. (Progressives are scam artists)
This # was used 2 days ago by "Windows Maintenance" scammers from India wanting to install malware on my computer, then charge me to remove it. Interesting how many scammers w/ different stripes use this # - gov't grants, vitamin Viagra, pay day loans, ad nauseum
