This is the second day in a row I received a call from someone claiming to be from the "U.S. Government Grant Agency", telling me I have been awarded over $10K because of my "great credit", blah, blah, blah.  Yesterday the call came from a Washington, DC number.  This is a fairly well-known scam where they ask you for your checking account information so they can "deposit" the money into your account.  Here are the details (http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0113-government-grant-scams).  Both times the caller had a foreign accent.  Today it was a male with what sounded like an Indian or Pakistani accent.  The unsettling part is that they asked for me BY NAME both times.  It just so happens that I am a cybersecurity professional and I stay on top of this stuff.  My number is registered on the Federal Trade Commission's National Do Not Call Registry (http://www.donotcall.gov), so I filed a complaint with the FTC.

BTW, 800notes people, one of your "Call Type" options on this form really should be "Scam" or "Fraud".

Didn't listen to anything they wanted I just simply hung up on them

I am tired of phone calls like this one. Message machine says there is a message. I dial to get message and no message. A waste of my minutes that I pay for. GRRR.

I am tired of receiving these kinds of calls
