I received a call from this number. Said I was awarded a personal and individual grant from the government. Even asked me if I was in good relationship with our government.
Asked if I had a credit card, pre-payed card. So I gave him the number to a card i never use. He knew that I was single, knew my name, think he knew the number of the card i have.
Anyway he said I would need to call the Senior Grant manager. And wanted to know when I was gonna call, I told him about 10 min. He gave me an activation number. And the awarded amount was $14,589.00.
The number he gave me is (253)-289-5073. Which when I looked it up, there are complaints , with the same cash amount. I have not called the number for the grant manager: as far as the prepaid credit card, Im going to call them and then Im going to cut the card up, or maybe Ill save it for the next person who tries to scam me.
Its ridiculous, these people who pull this crap. Hope it all comes back and bites them in the ass, and their pocket book.
Anyway the call came from +1 (1) (212) 917-2054. The guy who spoke broken Asian/ English said his name was Steven Jackson and he worked for Health and Human Services. So, hopefully this will land in the rite hands to keep someone else from getting scammed.
