Got a call and picked up said it was someone from the united states education depatment and said needed my verbal confimation about when I graduated. That had to tell me offerings about schools and scholarships. Seemed like a total scam and as if he was reading it off a script. Also when I asked for details kept repeating the same thing over and over. When I told him i did not need the services. He said no I am calling because you do as if he was seriously trying to get my personal information. Though I would be more prone to it if he used my last name. Did not sound convincing at all.
I answered the call, it was someone saying that they were calling on behalf of the United States Department of Education, offering money that didn't have to be paid back. It sounded awfully fishy to me and the rep was obviously reading from a script. He started to ask about my education level so I said that I wasn't interested and disconnected the call.
Said he was from the US government & that was as far as I let him get. Didn't speak good English at all. Just told him I wasn't talking to him and hung up.
