its not a real number, it might be thru a computer, no name just the state, .. ever since i went on lline to see about employment, and to look up pay scales for different posititions... ive been bombarded with colleges fake grants, all the unwanted junk mail and phone calls... scams of all sorts. ill never go on a any of those sites again . ill go directly to the actual company name, and put my stuff in, if i have too.
I got a call today from that number and the guy told me he is giving me $9,000 FREE - I do not have to pay back. I just need to give him personal info so he can transfer the money!
