I first had a phone call from Washington DC area. They called me all day long and ignored it. I finnaly answered it and the person had my address and phone number. The foreign female said I have been chosen for a grant because of my low income status. I then was told to call 1-561-331-2660 and give them this number CB123. I was then told to give them my account number so they can collect the fee for the grant. I was told to go to walgreens and send them 250.00 via western union. Then after I told her I don’t have the money she kept talking about me giving them the money. I let her know I looked up the phone number on google and noticed it was a scam to get money and for them to overdraft your account and hung up. I’m on the do not call list and they called anyways and had all my information where I lived and my phone number .

My wife got a phone call at 11:55AM CST telling her that she was eligible for a government grant because she hadn’t filed for bankruptcy in six months and her bills were paid on time. This was a grant that didn’t have to be paid back, all she had to do was go to Walmart, put $200.00 on a card to activate it and they would put $9,200.00 on the card. They said it would be coming from New York. The man on the first call [(315)942-8164] gave her a number to call back and told her to ask for Cassie. The phone number there is (631)565-7253.
