They called me saying that I have won 7k for being a good citizen and that it's because I have never had problems with the law and that I pay my bills on time but I'm underage and don't pay bills and I have been arrested before so I decided to go along with it and to find out that they know everything about me they know my address and my last name and everything they gave me a number to dial and give them a code that they have given me
Thanks for the info. I let it go to voicemail and then when I had a minute to call it back it says "this is a non working number"
This number has called my phone dozens of times so I decided to answer.. It was a woman with a very thick indian accent, saying she's from the grant department and that I had "won" a $7k grant.. (REALLY?) I never participate in contests of any kind so winning one is a first.. Then she said I didn't have to apply..I was "SELECTED".. LMAO!! For the government to have a grant sweepstakes is just wishful thinking of the brain dead! It had SCAM written all over it. I played along and listened to her tell me that because I didn't have a criminal record and paid my taxes and yadda yadda yadda. She asked a couple of general questions like marital status, employment status and age.. I lied to all of them and she had NO clue.. The government has records and can probably tell you what you ate last week for dinner. if she was calling from a government office, she would have known I wasn't being truthful... then when she got to the question of what I would use the money for.. I promptly replied.. "DRUGS!! Cause I needs em!" LMAO... Must have been a first for her because she went quiet for a few seconds and then suggested that I take the call seriously.. that was the last straw..I was tired of the BS. I told her this is a scam, no such program exists, the number would be reported and to stop calling my phone! She hung up real fast.. DON'T FALL FOR IT!! The only thing free in life is trouble and hard times... and who on earth wants that!?
2/3/16 - I didn't answer because I didn't recognize the number. Just let it go to voice mail. This was an automated call claiming that the IRS was filing a law suit against me. Thought it was weird because any communication like this from the government is usually preceeded by mailed documentation.
