This came in as scam call to an elderly friend. "Lisa Johnson" told my friend she was being given a government 'grant' of $5,000 and all they needed was her banking info. She gave my friend this phone number so she could call and verify that it was a governmental agency. People who prey on the elderly are as despicable as people who prey on children.

They called me on the 3rd of Sep. Telling me that I was being giving a $5,000 grant - they asked for my Banking information, I did give it - I do that to catch Scams - the account doesn't hold a huge amount, I called them today Sep. 8th and asked when I would recieve my $$ they would mute out while they talked - I asked why do you keep cutting in and out they said it was a bad line, I then called back and it rings twice then a busy sound. This kind of scam needs to be brought to the attention of the U.S. Department of Treasury????
They said the same thing to my boyfriend but they already knew his bank info and varified his last 4 of his social and now they took almost $300 dollars out of his bank account.
