Pat said: Received a call today at approximately 12:50 p.m. EST from a lady that had a heavy asian accent telling me she was from the U.S. Treasury Department in Washington D.C. and I am one of 1500 people selected to receive a Federal Grant in the amount of $9,000. She said it wasn't a loan, I didn't have to pay taxes on it and I could use it for education, bills, buy a new car, medical bills or whatever I wanted and it did not have to be paid back. I listened because she didn't ask for any of my information. She knew my name and address. She gave me an Acceptance Approval Number of MG105 and told me I had to call another number and give them that code to claim my grant. The other number is 202-684-6555. Sooo I called that number and it says it's an invalid number. Sooo I tried to call her back at the 543-210-9876 and it told me I had a zero balance and I had to replenish my account by dialing another code. I knew all along it was a scam, but I wanted to see how far I could get with it before they asked me for personal information.

anonymous said: Got a call @ 11:40 eat didn't answer blocked number. Keep getting calls from all kind of crazy numbers leaving voice message about winning money. When I ask twice whom the company name is again they hang up. Tired of thrives trying to steal peoples info !!
Rayell said: Didn't answer, but they left a voice mail. It just sounded like someone butt dialed me. I could hear a man's voice and a female voice talking back and forth, but couldn't understand what they were saying. It was muffled like the phone was in a purse or pocket. So weird.
anonymous said: The caller said he was from the government and then rattled on. I told him I couldn't understand him and he responded with 'f*ck you!'
anonymous said: Heavy Asian accent and stated he was from Social Security office. Sounded like a scam and hung up.
anonymous said: I just got a call stating my computer is in trouble. I asked how you know my computer is in trouble. He stated my computer is sending signals to them and I need to turn it on and he will fix it for me. I told him no I'm not turning on anything. He starting cursing calling me a "Mother******, Ba**** & son of a ***** and I said your mama and he hung up. Hopefully he won't call back.
Wayne said: We have yet to be able to talk to any of these idiots. It may be that when my Dutch wife answers with her accent, they just give up and disconnect. Lets send them a bucket of pig fat.
irritated said: Male with Hispanic accent telling me my number and name had come up to receive a Fed Grant for $500. He said I didn't have to pay taxes or anything on the money. "CLICK". I disconnected the call.
anon in NJ said: another scam offering money supposedly from US Federal grant. sure
Resident said: Foreign (barely intelligible) asian accent said he worked for treasury dept. He had "special one-time offer"-that's the last thing I heard before I ended the call. I hate these thieves, why don't they try robbing someone closer to home? Maybe I'll just assume that all the poor foreigners I meet have worked at a similar job. I can hardly wait for the first opportunity to dispatch them with extreme prejudice.
Florida Attorney said: The 543 Area code is used by Professional Scammers and Government Collection Agencies. Don't answer any 543 are code numbers.
pa1 said: Missed both calls. I called them back but it said "Your call can not be completed as dialed.

anonymous said: Just got a call from a guy who could barely speak intelligible English saying that he was from the "U.S. Government Grant Department."
Yeah. Right.
n a said: Received phone call from this number; no message but it is an unknown number. Not able to call back.
lucky said: I was randomly selected to receive a $1,000 US Government grant. Tax free and never has to be paid back. All they wanted was a credit/debit card number or bank account. Seems too good to be true!
anonymous said: Received call from a woman with a thich accent advising me that I was going to be receiving a grant for $5000 and that there were 1700 people in the U.S. that qualified for this grant. She advised that I would have to use the grant for paying off bills, going back to school or anything else I wanted as long as it was not illegal. She had my name and address and birthdate. I asked her when I should expect my checkk and she said I should receive it the following week.
