I received a phone call yesterday and could not understand the man's speech. I asked to speak to someone who spoke more plain English for me because I could not understand him. He loudly told me that I am a f...ing bi***! I was shocked. He repeated it twice before I hung up.

I have talked to this person before! They told Me I qualify for a Grant of 9000 and I said I'll take it and I want a check... He said they don't do checks they can deposit it into a bank account or onto a credit/debit card.... I acted like I gave him my debit card info... (fake card number) then he said give him the security code... Yeah right! I asked him his name and he said Cory something... I laughed at him and told him that was the most American name for a foreign person that someone could come up with.... Then I asked him what company does he work for and he said he worked for my mothers p**sy and my fathers dick.... I really wish there was a way to get these f****rs in trouble because they may find really stupid people who will fall for it.

This same guy is calling me for the past 3 days every few hours. He told me this same story and also said that he is calling from treasury Department from DC. I told him that the money don't just come free and I don't believe that Treasury Department will call me on Saturday evening around 6.00 pm. I said that I wont give him any of my information and that I would expect certify mail from Treasury Department not a phone call. He is still calling. Should I report the number I don't want anybody to fall for this scam.

| Janet Bechtel 2014-03-15 21:50:25 Unknown |
Several calls in one Saturday morning.

Oh my goodness! this just happened to me, I knew it was a scam!

Glad I checked the number on this website before answering this caller. As previously stated by posters the guy with a heavy accent said I had been given a grant from the US government that could not be spent on drugs, etc...(I found this funny), he said I would need to first qualify and he started to go thru his qualifying statement- you cannot have had a bankruptcy must have a checking account etc, etc... I told the guy I had filed a bankruptcy and he asked three times "you've had a bankruptcy in the last 6 months?" Yes, yes and yes lmao! He was obviously flustered, made a statement along the lines of fine, then I'll take your grant and abruptly hung up. Three days and no calls...ahhhh, peace again.

Thats exactly it, they called me 3 times today and when they finally answered wanted to speak with my wife saying she qualified for a grant. F****ng scammers
| memaw 2014-03-15 19:08:52 Unknown |
I get this on my cell at least 2 times a day, every day. I won't answer to numbers not familiar. The cell tells me Unknown Call so that's all it takes for me to not answer.
| Michelle Abercrombie 2014-03-15 19:00:45 Unknown |
They call numerous times a day!!! I do nkt answer bc i kniw there has been ppl i know called by international calls and they make it look like u called them and it cost a fortune!!!!! Im getting so annoyed and fed up with recieving numerous calls from weird numbers!!! I also have recieved calls from a 00000000 number!!!! What kind of nunver is that!!!!
| V 2014-03-15 18:45:26 Unknown |
They called several times over 2 days. Finally answered and a man with a foreign accent wanted to confirm who I was. I did not confirm and I asked what he was calling about and he said he was calling from Washington, D.C. (of all places) and that I was eligible for an $8,000 grant. I asked the name of the grant and he skirted around the answer saying he was only with the Notification Dept. and didn't know many details. I asked what organization he was with and he also skirted that question saying he could give me the number of his supervisor who would be able to wire me my $8k grant within 48 hours and it did not need to be paid back....and then he said he remembered the name of the grant which was American Royalty something something.....so phony.......which is when I hung up.
Very worrisome! They knew my name and phone number and I'm sure they were trying to get my bank account info. Will be monitoring my bank account closely.
My guess is that for those of you that answer and they hang up....they might be waiting for your wife/a woman to pick up....just a hunch.

Excellent response about student loans! Wish I had thought of it. Lol

I received the same call today just a few minutes ago. They called, but then hung up the phone. No answer at all.
My worry is that the hersay of people being charged on their account. I have not checked yet as to what it is, but I'm sure that there is a reason to their nonsense. I blocked it, but I'm worried that someone might be doing tests of pinged devices and your location. I have no idea what it is, but I have blocked it.

this number calls us constantly. Last night when they called. we ask them to stop calling they had the wrong number, and we hung up the phone. this man had the audacity to call us back 5 times in a row before we finally turned our phone. This is ridiculous. we get similar calls like this from other numbers exact same thing happened. these people are very rude. Through with dealing with these people and I wanted it to stop, I don't want to change my son's phone number, but I want these callers to stop. there's no one to complain to because when I call back there is only a recording stating all circuits are currently busy. tried at all hours of the day and night which tells me that this is something that's a keep 24 hours a day... this is on my 12yr old min only phone so I can't block it.. but I will report every number we get from now on.. this ginger has had it!
| DJ 2014-03-15 01:00:00 Unknown |
Got a call 4X just today!!! A------- already knew it was a scammer!!! If you don't recognize the number & there is no identifying name then don't answer. Bothersome rats!!!! They can get lost!!!
| TracyNickels 2014-03-15 00:46:00 Unknown |
Got a call from someone with a accent so thick you could cut it with a knife. Offering a grant I just said not interested and hung up.

this number has been calling me everyday,l several times during the day.
| Joe 2014-03-14 16:36:38 Unknown |
I gave them my bank account info? Are they going to steal my money?
| Ih8Scammers 2014-03-14 00:30:02 Unknown |
A woman called and told me I was chosen at random to receive free government grants. She had a heavy accent so I barely understood what she was saying. She wanted a bank account number or credit card to put the money into. Yeah right! I HATE scammers!
| Lee Cromwell 2014-03-13 20:14:35 Telemarketer |
unwanted caller,I'm on the do not call list.
