I just got a call today from this number and they said they were calling from the government. The guy spoke very broken English. I had a hard time understanding him. He said I would get a $7,000 grant because I was a good citizen and pay my taxes on time and don't have a criminal record. He said he needed my bank account info or a credit card to transfer the money to. He said he was calling from Washington, DC and gave me an address from Washington but I told him I could give him an address from DC too it doesn't mean that's where I really am. He kept pushing for information. I asked if there was a way to look into this to see if it was legit. He said I shouldn't need any more information he already told me who he was. I told him I don't give my information over the phone and I hung up.

I have been called several times. Same guy I think. Horrible English. I asked him to send me the information via email and he hangs up.

They just called from that number and declared we are the recipients of some grant money. All we have to do is give him our bank account number and details. The trouble with the iphone is you cant slam them down or they break so I had to hang up on this fraudster...

Called me from different phone numbers, answered this one and an indian man claiming he was in Washington DC told me the government wanted to give me a 7000 dollar grant for paying my taxes on time. He requested my bank information, told him that was sketchy and if he wanted to give me money he could go ahead and provide me with a prepaid card. He got very rude and informed me he could NOT do that and he NEEDED my card information.. which doesn't even make sense on so many levels. So I told him he wasn't very good at scamming, and he hung up.

Said they are government agency giving grant money 7500.00. Wanted my card number to deposit the money. Even if there is a negative balance on it

This number called my child's cell phone number today. It's a brand new number, as he just got the phone for his birthday last week. How do these idiots jump on a new phone number so quickly? Anyhow, we didn't answer and they didn't leave a message.

I've received 5 calls already this morning back to back - haven't answered any but it started with a blocked number, then 328-635-8323, 697-882-2419, 828-303-5558 and then 577-255-6968. So annoyed!

I received call this am. Guy had terrible English...could hardly understand him. Told I was in good standing with federal govt for paying taxes on time. (I always get refund, first clue). He said I have been chose to receive $7000 grant, and never have to pay it back. All I needed to do was to provide bank information. I replied that I don't give that kind of information over phone, and he had just verified my address, so send me the information and I would decide then which of 2 ways to deposit money was best for me. He said it didn't work like that. I again said that I would only commit if I had info in writing. He became upset and pushing me to give info. I then stated I had his number and I was going to report him as a scam. He kept saying "calm down now" No need...then he hung up. This is definitely a scam site. Beware!!

I got a call today from these fools, who must thought I was a fool enough to believe the lies they were telling me. Telling me I won some money I knew right away a scam was involved . I said yeah right & hung up. I called back and it was a not working number how can that be? Something needs to be done about that!
| Lori Owen 2013-11-01 19:47:33 Unknown |
They bought someone elses call list. Have you requested a catalogue or ordered anything over the internet? If so, you are on someones Call list.

I have been awarded a Federal Grant for being a good citizen. I got a record, yet they said I've never broken the law. Wanted my bank account # or Credit Card to deposit over $7,000..I wish! Sounds in the background while a possibly philipino male spoke were those of a very large call center or some busy establishment...who knows, a restaurant?
I told him I had no accounts and would call back to a different # to tell him the info. Ben Cruz at US Federal Grant Dept Verification center 253-271-5672. I'll call soon as I can ski in Hell.

Scam, scam, scam --- Can't speak English!
$7000 grant from Gov. -- yea right.
| ginny mangrum 2013-10-29 17:46:09 Unknown |
Continue to call even after I have signed the list for no receipt of commercial calls on my phone. They continue to call when I told them I would report them. They are asking for someone other than me.

I've been receiving phone calls from this number since Saturday asking for this woman named Easter Wilkerson. I kept telling them they have the wrong number and to remove me from their call list but they keep calling me asking me if they can speak with Easter. And this last time, the guy told me I was tricking him and that he loves me. I ended up adding this number on my call block list.

This number has called me over 10 times in the last week. I finally decided to answer it. I asked the man to please stop calling me. He said bi*** you called me. And hung up the phoneDONT ANSWER call from this number
| Merrily 2013-10-25 00:35:16 Unknown |
I know what you mean. My new smartphone has a feature that send those calls right into voicemail. I don't have a land line. Check your cell phone to see if you have that feature. On my phone, I have to save the number before I can click on the button to "send directly to voicemail" and I doubt it was in any of the info that came with the phone.

| Anna 2013-10-22 22:42:59 Unknown |
Indian idiot called at 5:05pm - couldn't pronounce our name or much else in English. He got as far as 'government grant.' I yelled 'f--- off' and hung up. I'm sure the reason no one can call them back is because the number is spoofed and they're outside the US. I couldn't get to my SIT tone in time but that only works on robo calls. I wonder if the DNC folks ever look at these sites to see how many times a certain number has been reported since there's 12 pages on this number with the same scam. I kept a Nigerian scammer going for 3 days when he hijacked my cousin's email. He was in an Internet café in Logos - not London like he said. I reported it to the Logos police. The next day, they arrested 800 scammers in Logos!

Download the Mr. Number app that you can use to block numbers like these. I have received several calls this week and they were all from other countries. I NEVER answer the calls and go to my Mr. Number and Block the idiots.
