They issue free phones but NEVER solicit over the phone
Too much personal info you have to disclose and you have to sign that all is legit.
They never call you about this and their are serious forms and investigations in order to qualify for these benefits.
These calls are scam [***].
Do not fall for it
Recorded message about getting an Obama-phone. Called back, and got a message that the number was not in service. Had a call from same number on 4-26; not certain if it was even the same con.
Just received a call from this number. As always, I never answer calls from unknown numbers. And based on the prior comments here this is just another number I'll be blocking.
The US Gov't is issuing free phones! Whoopie!
I did not stay on the line to determine exactly how this scam works. It's bad enough they got me to answer by using my area code!
