Called 3-times within two-hour period. No messages left. Costs extra money to block. How do these people continue to get cell phone numbers? As if we don't all have better things to do with our time. Bombarded by scams everywhere. Someone should investigate these people and take action.

This number called several times. The first two times I picked up they hung up. After that some guy who sounded like an Indian guy addressed himself as a us officer who work for us grant service of some sort. His accent was so thick that I couldn't understand half of it. Then he processed to inform me that I was qualified to some grant from the government in the amount of $7000 and gave me the number 202 697 9163 and tell me to ask for a guy name Eric Johnson to collect "my money". Nothing is free here in the States, you either work your butt off, or win the lottery. Period.

I was invited to a Facebook 'event' called Beware! Government Grant Phone Calls are a Scam!!!!!!By Jessica Kendall https://www.facebook.com/events/599713260090395/?notif_t=plan_user_invitedI was called by a "Marris Smith, Employee ID- BG5869) from number 567-233-0511. He told me I was selected to receive government grant money in the amount of $7,000. See now I have been applying for school and other reasons so I let him continue to talk. He stated that I was picked because I have applied and I pay taxes and have no criminal record for the past 6 months. Then gave me a grant approval number and phone number to contact the grant approval department. So I dialed 202-559-7936 and after many rings a woman answered and I gave her my grant approval code and she put me on hold to verify my code. I was on hold for a long time so I took the opportunity to check up on the internet about all this and found out that many others have fallen to this scam. So I hung up and called back and told her she had me on hold and she said "oh yes I remember you." I went off and stated that she should be ashamed of herself for taking money from innocent people like myself and for supporting a scam. She then threatened me with the IRS coming to my door because we were on a recorded line. I then said that I would love to see them on my front door because I would have plenty to say with all my research I've done on her company who calls themselves the FBI Grant committee she works for while she had me on hold. She then said and I quote "you f****ng a***oles". DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!!!!!! Here are more web sites that also post about these pathetic people."

So beware!!!

I never answer and they never leave a message.

I just got 3 calls from this number. They never left a message.  All 3 were about 12 mins apart.

They called me twice within 12 mins

Got one  call also just let it ring as turned off answer machine they only let it ring 2-3 times

BLOCKED............nuisance call from OH

Probably the same outfit with 567-233-0510 -- calls and never leaves messages

The call came into my house this morning. The guy on the other end said was looking for my daughter.  When I asked who was calling, he said his name was Calvin or Kevin and was calling from the US Grant Service.  I immediately realized this was a scam and hung up on him.  My daughter is a special needs child and doesn't have the mental capacity to even start to apply for a grant. I immediately blocked the number so this predatory thug will never bother us again.  Shame on these scumbags!!!
