This number calls me a couple of times a day. My caller ID says it is my sister calling with 331 under her name. I answered today and they said they wanted to give me a Goverment Grant in the amount of $5000. They had my first and last name and my old address. They said you don't have to pay the money back and the guy has an accent. I didn't believe that the government wanted to give me this money out of the blue. When they asked for my banking information I informed them I would call the Better Buisness Beareu to make sure it was legit and they hung up on me. They were very pushy about giving me this money. I wouldn't give them any info they will probably use your routing number and account number to drain you account with a check by phone method.
I received a call 3 days in a row from this number. They were very pushy about giving me a $5000 grant from the government. It was very strange to me. I asked to speak to a supervisor and they all had an accent. I told them that I believed that it was a hoax. I called the number back twice and didn't get anyone. When James Parker called me back, I told him that I was going to call the number back and all of a sudden I got a lady on the phone. DON'T TRUST THIS. I'm going to report them to the better business bureau and to the FBI.
I have spoken to these people with asian indian accents, numerous times, and they were very persistent on having me recieve a governement grant. They had my name, cellphone number, and address, I have never given out any information, all I had to do was verify if it was correct or not. They said that American Benefits Online was giving out this grant but if you call them, they have no idea about the grant. All the numbers they have given me were to different companies, my caller id on them was 331, and finally I received this number. When I refused before, they kept calling me, and finally I spoke to a supervisor at this number, he said that all I had to do was send them $500 over western union and I will receive my grant. I said that you never have to pay for a government grant and it sounded like a scam. Then I asked for a website to see if what it was about and asked for paperwork first because all grants you have to apply for and I never did for this one. Then he asked me what do I want him to do, and I said well, it's your job and you should know what to do. Then afterwards he hung up on me, I called back, and was sent to a mailbox. It sounds like a scam and I wouldn't trust them if you do get a call from them. And I am reporting them to the BBB and the police.
