Called and said I had been selected for a $5000 federal government grant just for being a good citizen who pays my taxes and doesn't have any criminal history. Asked that I verify my address, which he then gave me, and for my age. Then asked whether I would like to receive the grant in cash, to my credit card, or deposited into my bank account. When I said "cash," he gave me a confirmation # T175 and said to call 202-241-5377 and I would talk to a lady whose name was ? Morris.
I hung up and looked the number up and it is definitely listed with the same story. I'm just adding the first number to update the file. Hope an end can be made of these nuisance calls.
"Kelvin" claims to be from the United States Financial Government?! What a joke. Told him to never call me again as I have worked for different government branches for years, and I have never had a cold call like that in my life. No such name of branch exists. After that, different phone numbers popped up, and of course, all from India. I have reported it to the FTC. Let's see if anything is ever done. It seems our numbers get recycled. If it's not one caller, it's 20 callers in the end.
Same thing exactly same story they gave me. Told me to call 202-621-0315 and ask for Debbie Bennent. This is scary not knowing what info they have. Makes you not want to put money in your account.
