I received a call today(09/02/2015) from a person with a heavy accents (like they were from India), stating that I had been chosen to receive a $9200.00 grant from the Federal Grant Department.  This is the call back number they used and told me to call back (631-869-4663.    They also told me to go to Walmart (money gram), that when I told them that I was going to report them for fraud.  They hurry up and got off the phone.

    My mother got a call from them last week, I called from my office phone and left a message, when Lena called back she said she was Dr. Alexander and only said this because she called an attorney's office (my job).  BUT then they called my 87 yo mother again at 1am, 3am and 5am today.  So I called Lena back and asked her where she was calling from, she cussed me out and told me to quit calling, I told her to quit calling my mother and soliciting money.  She hung up on me.  I called back from an office phone and asked for a supervisor, she hung up on me again.  How do we get these people to quit calling my mother?
