I have been getting a number of calls saying they are with the US government. This one has a caller id # 2023014406/ I would like for these calls to stop.

Whoever is calling does not leave a message.  They've called 5 times in the last 24 hours to my cell phone.
The one time I picked up - there was silence and then an automated voice saying "Goodbye".

Got a call and the guy went off on me when I told him it was a scam! They said my account coil be at a zero balance

They keep calling off the hook to my mothers phone its a scam ain't no state guna call and give us money we fight to keep our money and they jus want it all i jus tell em ey keep callin stay on the ph that fbi. will contact them shortly oh ya they fall for it coz they never end up calling bqck I've yet to talk to them but when i do all u gotta do is say fbi or police and trace they leave u aline afterwards

Yes I also received a phone call from these people. They told me what bank I used.They had my address and the bank I used so I called my bank to block my account. I am closing my account tomorrow.

Said they were a debt collector and threatened to have the sheriff come to my house if I didn't give them a good credit card number to pay a debt.

This number has called my phone today 5/3/13 .. 13 times since 8:30am its now 5:30pm .. Its so annoying, ill let it ring twice hit the ignore button, they call right back .. Let the voicemail pick it up, they dont leave message .. I even put in for the do not call list, said itll take 30-60 days, and their still caaaaalllliiiinnnngggg!!!

Received a call answered and they hung up.

It is a scam. They are a foreign operation which has bought a SKYPE or Voip number with a 202 area code, trying to look legitimate to Americans. The number does not exist and there is no one on the other side if your try to call.

I too received a call from this number claiming that I had been chosen to receive a 7,000 dollar grant from the U.S government because I paid my taxes on time this year. All I needed to do was give them my bank info and they could transfer it to my account but there were stipulations on what the grant could be spent on. So I told them that I was at work and would like more information on this "grant" and since they already had my address, which they confirmed when I first answered the phone, I told them to mail me the info so I could look it over and haven't heard back from them since! These people are ridiculous, fortunately I and seemingly most of the people on here are not falling for their scam, but so many others do and something needs to be done about it.

Sprint lets you block 50 numbers on your iPhone.  But you can only do that by logging into your account on the computer.  

You can always assign a silent ring tone to a name in your address book (suggested name: "Roster, Fecal"), so that the iPhone does not ring when they call and the name you assigned e.g., "Fecal Roster," shows on the phone when they do call, even though the phone does not ring.  This works on any iPhone on any carrier, but because there is no silent ring tone supplied by Apple, you will have to either make one or download one and install it yourself.  There are instructions on how to do this elsewhere on this board and on the Internet, and perhaps also on YouTube.  Look it up.

Sprint and Google Voice seem to have some sort of special relationship whereby you may be able to port a Google Voice number to your Sprint cell phone and then have Google screen your incoming calls for you and handle your voice mail.  I wouldn't want to do this myself due to privacy concerns I have, but you may want to consider this as another option.  If I am not mistaken, you could block a lot of different numbers using this method and gain a large number of extra free features on your phone, such as simultaneous ringing of several of your phone lines at once and cheap overseas calls.  I don't know what all this does to cell phone 911 services, however, and you might not be able to get a "local" number or area code assigned to you, depending on the popularity of the service in your area.  And I have heard some (rather old) horror stories about neither Sprint nor Google being helpful when things have gone wrong.  But that was a long time ago, and maybe things have changed (or were not so bad in the first place).

So, they called. Started their pitch. I laughed. They proceeded to speak jiberish to me. I threatened them with death and dismemberment. They havent called back since.

I received a phone call from Government Grant office asking me to provide them my bank information for a grant of $7000 that I was picked at random for.

Repeated calls from this number, and asking them to stop seems to even increase the frequency of calls. Caller is sometimes male and sometimes female but always with an accent that sounds Indian (India), claiming that I've qualified for something that requires money up front on my part. The strong accents of the callers makes it difficult to even know what they're saying. In addition, they ask for April, and when I say there's never been an "April" here, they proceed to do their pitch on me. Saying "no thank you" has no effect and every call ends with me just hanging up. At the time of this writing, I've received more than sixty calls from this number in total, so it seems that "No" is not an acceptable response to these people.

Continuously calls and doesn't leave a voicemail. It is probably the same scam everyone else was talking about. They need to stop calling non stop, its eating up minutes and battery usage.

Claiming to be from the US Government - Office of Grants.  I stated I was on the National Do Not Call Registry and that I was reporting them.  This Indian lady got extremely belligerent and stated I was going to be called every hour on the hour for days and days - she was going to pass my number around to everyone in her office to call and harass me.  I hung up.  My phone then began to ring - I declined the call.  Again it rang - I declined the call.  I have voicemail messages with nothing on it but background noise of a room full of them calling other folks.  

I have reported this to the National Registry - but they can do nothing.  Why doesn't iPhone offer an app for this stuff.  And there is no pro-active government agency to stop this that I know of.

I received this phone call and didnt answer and then they called me again. I answered it and listened to the guy (who had a thick accent) and I asked him how I knew it was legit. He directed me to the www.grants.gov website. So I told him I didnt have a prepaid visa card and that I had no way to go get one right now. He said he would call back tomorrow. I called the FTC and filed a complaint and they said it was a scam.

those, A-holes seem to call once every year with "a free once in a lifetime paid scholarship for college" they even asked whaed to know the name of the bank inculding the account number.they got nothing from me.

I just got a call from this number on my cell phone.  By the time I got the cell phone out of my bag and asnwer it, they had hung up.  I did a reverse phone search and found the information here about a scam.  You can add my name to the list of the called.

I got a call from this number. Since it was a DC # I answered it becaues I have dealings in DC. When I said hello all I got was a recording of a lady that said "Good Bye". However, a few days before that I got a call from a # with a bunch of 00000's and the man had an Indian accent and kept trying to tell me something, but I couldn't understand him, so I hung up. He tried to call back, but I didn't answer and he didn't leave a message. Freaking Scammers.

I've reported them to the FTC

Just got the same phone call as above. This is the second time in 2 days.  I told the 1st caller to take me off their list and not to call, They called again today and  she told me not to yell at her when I told her I wasn't interested and not to call and she hung up on me.  This is insane.  Don't fall for it.

202-301-4406 - I keep having this number call my home. I am registered on "DO NOT CALL".  I don't answer and they don't leave a message but they call often.  I want this stopped immediately.

Have received call after call about this, multiple numbers. This one is the one that comes up most frequently.  Mostly about a grant and other stuff.

This same number called my cell phone again today- no VM was left.  You would think that people would get the hint to not continue to call you if you don't answer or return their calls.  This same number called a couple of weeks ago.

Jennifer, it does not matter if you did not send them any money at that time, what you need to do immediately is to cancel that particular card and if you have money direct deposited to that account, they will take ALL you have. Most things these days that sound too good to be true, usually are. They will keep all your financial information until they milk you dry. Good luck.

Received a phone call from this phone number today on my cell phone; no VM was left, and I did not answer it.  I am tired of these kinds of calls.

This phone number called my cell phone today- No VM was left nor did I answer the call.  I am tired of these kinds of calls.  I just want them to stop.
