I received a call today at 11:46 am from 202-663-3333, Washington DC. The man spoke to me with regards to the free tax refund I was getting from the government. I asked how the government could give me free money. He explained that it was a federal grant. I told him I wasn't interested in free money from the government and hung up on the man. My number is on the do not call list so I wondered how he got my number.

    I get these calls all the time.   Now they call Unknown.   I tried blocking this unknown number to no avail.   I think these scammers go to face book and get phone numbers off of the site.

    Over a dozen calls at all hours. The caller never says a word and it automatically hangs up at 15 or 20 seconds.

    I got this call a few times. Never answered it but I appreciate the posts so now I know to block these scammers. The sad thing is some people will actually fall for it and get their money taken.

    This number has been calling me everyday. They stopped for a few months. I finally picked up. How do they have my address and know I don't have a criminal background and have never filed bankruptcy?

    I got the same calls too.  Every half an hour yesterday.  Today 4 times, but I think they quit because I started answering and playing loud music into the phone, wasting their time.  Taylor Swift if you can believe it!  They would hang up.  Nice to turn the tables on them!
