I received  a phone call on 12/62017 at 2:00 pm from a man of Indian decent offering me a free US Government grant of $9000.00 if I could give him my banking account number or credit card number,
He stated this no scam it is no scam. I told him that he was a scammer, and con artist.
I told him there was no way that I was to give him this information.
I said don't call me again. He hung the phone immediately.
I called back at this number 267-541-1014 a Philadelphia number, and a Indian speaking woman answered the phone this time, and wanted the same type of info, I told her no to the info. and told her this is a scam.
I told a little lie by telling her that by her actions that I turned over her phone number to the FBI and they would be tracking down this phone number, and if found a scam the would be arrested. She hung up the phone immediately, People like these types of scams should be FBI number one investigations. People are token advantage of every year, and loose millions of hard earned dollars. this has to stop.

    this number called me and left a voicemail. the voicemail was a robot saying that I need to give them a call back on "same number" to collect my grant money. I have never applied for any grants or anything like that.

    Yep got that same call today. Plus 6 months ago. They say its free, but their is a 200 dollar security deposit needed... If the grant was free then it should not cost us anything. I hung up on them. I am so tired of these phone calls.

    I have gotten six in the last two days. I have told them every time not tnterested,but they continue to call. I tried blocking their number but they call back with the same area code but different suffixes. All persons that called had an Indian accent. Getting fed up!

    my call was 3-19-2021. pretty much same as above.9000 grant for being a "good citizen" for THE LAST 6 MONTHS !!!!  wow pretty good for 60 years old. He Kept saying something about CVS, Walgreens or Dollar General, but I couldn't understand what he was saying. my caller id said call from my small town on a cell number, so I knew it was crap/ But, I'll keep them on phone to mess with them and because that is someone else they cant mess with.  Here's one... my husband will start saying " that's 1"  , " That's 2", then they will ask what is 1 and 2. He tells them when he hears one more beep on his end the FCC or something will have the trace complete. and be to get them.  CLICK,
