Got a call from this number, but with prefix 18-555-335-4567. Foreign speaking man something about a government grant. Told him he had the wrong number and he said who the F--- is this and hung up. I went to the FTC website www.ftc.gov and found a US number associated with government grant scams 206-734-4741. Called the number several times and each time a person with a middle eastern accent answered. I made a report with the FTC and was given a reference number. Most people would just ignore this kind of call, but I'm very angry and intend to do all I can to expose these jerk scammers.

The caller identified himself as "Ricky from the United States Government Grants Department" with a very thick Middle-Eastern accent. He was as much a "Ricky" as I am an Ashraf. I thought 555 was reserved for television show phone numbers? "Ricky asked for my fiancée by name. I asked him if my fiancée contacted them and he replied that he hadn't. He stated that he would try back at twelve.

Any time you are asked to pay a fee up front for something and they want a "green dot" card, its a major red flag..

I received a call from this number. Had an 8 in front of it insted of a 1. Caller, who spoke with a thick middle eastern accent told me I had 7,000 dollars coming to me for paying my taxes on time. He told me I just had to go to Western Union to claim mymoney. He then gave me and identification number and told me to call another number to verify my account. Something sounded fishy.

I have also received a call from this number. I missed the call however they did not leave a message. Probably some telemarketer.
