Type of a scam Government Grant
A young lady with an accent called my home phone from the above scammer phone number. There was background noise as she spoke. She said, you cannot call back on this number; I will not be able to answer it. You have been chosen by the US Dept of Treasury to receive a personal grant of USD9000. To activate the money and receive your grant, you must call back using this number, and give them the "activation ID number" to receive your free government grant of $9,000.00 The "call back" number is 1-206-596-0597. WHAT? A free government grant? I called back the number, and a young man took me through the steps to "activate" my money, so that they can send it to my local Walmart. But first, a one-time, refundable fee must be paid, of "only USD250." To pay it, go to a local store like Dollar General, Family Dollar, …and he named many more. Call me back, and I will tell you exactly which "card" to purchase…and this will be your payment of USD250. Then, I will be able to send your free grant money to you via a Walmart money order. I promised him I’d go to the local store and call him from there "to get instructions about what ‘card’ to buy". THEN, I GOT ON THIS BBB site!!!! I won’t be going to the store as he told me to!!!!!
