They've been calling repeatedly saying that I am qualified to receive a $7,000 Grant for being a good citizen paying my bills on time no felonies and no bankruptcies. Said it was the US treasury's office. That I was one of 1,500 people chosen. Gave me a number to call 315 704 - 19111. West a confirmation number of JU515
Received the same call, telling me the same thing. . To good to be true for me honestly. . If anyone follow through with it and it was true I would like to know.
The number 631-284-5780 [6312845780] Called me the Thursday before Easter weekend(2016), providing a 5 digit code. Was asked how to spell me last name, and my zip code. They mentioned I was qualified for a $7000 grant from the "Federal Reserve" as part of the program in the links above. I was told to call back Monday (today): 919-653-7326 [9196537326]
For giggles and grins I did. I said I would pick the money up at the "Walmart" option of the three they entered since I had no intention of providing credit or bank info. They said they would provide me a code In a callback that I would enter there. When pressed he (a man with what sounded like a thick Asian accent) clarified that I would need to pay a $250 tax to receive the money. When questioned further, he admitted that the paperwork was indeed for a wire transfer. When I questioned the obvious scam and asked that he email me from an account with a .gov email address, he insisted I google the act he was claiming to be a part of and became very agitated and irate when I brought up the scam. I pressed further stating I could provide my email and physical address so they could provide some official documentation and he simply insisted I had the wrong website and that I should call back later.
