I have been getting calls from New Mexico, Florida, Maryland, and other places all saying they are for this Government program offering scholarships to pay off my student debt, and that I can pick up the money today from CVS, Walmart, Walgreens, Direct Deposit, or to any plastic card I have. When I asked for a website or other information for proof that this wasn't a scam, she just kept saying, "This is no scam! Do you want the money or not?!" I said NOT and blocked yet another number. Stay away from those scammers!
They just called me, but instead of the message 2-1-7 it was a robotic voice telling me that I won a grant of $8700. I called them and when the lady answered, I immediately knew what was really going on. The same people called me a number of weeks ago saying they were the IRS and his name was John Cooper, but he sounded Indian (I have nothing but love for Indians, but not scammers) to which I challenged him and he hung up. I called him a few more times just to let him know not to try that $h;t on me again.
