I just got off the phone with these people. I had time to kill so I decided to see how long I could keep this guy on the phone so he couldn't bother somebody else. He had an old address that I told him was wrong so he kept trying to get the new one, I kept asking for the callback number but he kept dancing until I would give him an address. He gave me some address he was calling from in Washington DC, with a 7-something zip, I even told him all the zips in DC start with 2-0. So I just kept asking questions and confronting him (like what country he was calling from, thick accent and poor connection but he insisted he was in DC!) until at one point I cracked up and even told the guy I was just f***ing with him to see how long he would keep it up, and he STILL kept going. I finally gave him an address so I could get the callback number (123 4th St, Washington DC 77577, and he took it!). I had a blast!
Just got a call from Unknown Caller. said to I was to receive a $5000 grant....In order to receive this money I was to call 646-396- 8881 and talk to a Hellen Jackson. She told me to go to a Western Union and call her back when I get there. She said I had to pay a refundable security fee of $190. When I paid the $190 I would receive my $5000 plus the $190 fee back....I politely told her to take the fee from my $5000 and I would gladly go and get my $$ and for some reason...AMAZINGLY they cannot do it that way....Are there really people now days that are that stupid??

the same thing happened to me....she told me that 1700 peeps were chosen for this 5000 and i was one of them.....can someone find out about these people pretending to work for the government??...somebody should go to jail for running a scam like this!!!....our economy could use a good boost rite now for sure!!...lol

Someone just called me as well asking me to call Helen Jackson. This is too good too be true so I didn't even bother to call her at this same tel # 646-396-8881

I just recieved a call from Arlington Texas tel #817-275-9369. a few mins ago telling me the same thing. The man said I had been selected along with 1700 people to receive a grant of $5000.00. He said i had three chooses on how to receive it. I thought this has to be a scam but was curious to hear what he had to say so i listened. he said he can enter the $5000. into an account of mine , a visa or master card, or he can send it cash. Thats when I told him this is to good to be true and he responded no its not a scam its true and he started explaining all over again repeating what he had said about me being selected for the grant. He gave me Helen Jacksons Tel # and said i should call her right away 1-646-396-8881. I knew this had to be a scam so i looked up Helens tel# on google and came across your posting. Then I googled the tel# the man had called me from and it appears to be a payphone this is what I found on google read..... ........Texas Pay Phones

I just received a call from Arlington Texas, tel #817-275-9369 a few minutes ago that sounded too good to be true. The man said I had been selected along with 1700 people to receive a grant of $5000.00. He also said I had three chooses on how to receive it. I thought this has to be a scam but was curious to hear what he had to say so I listened. He told me he can enter the $5000 into an account of mine , a visa or master card, or he can even send it to me in cash. Thats when I told him this is too good to be true and he responded no it’s not a scam its true and he started explaining all over again repeating what he had said about me being selected for the grant. He gave me Helen Jacksons Tel # 1-646-396-8881 and said I should call her right away. I knew this had to be a scam so I looked up Helens tel # on google and came across several posting regarding the same call. In the posting people said “Helen told them to go to a Western Union and call her back when they get there. She said they had to pay a refundable security fee of $190. When it the $190 would be paid the person would receive the $5000 plus the $190 fee back....this person politely told her (Helen) to take the fee from my $5000. AMAZINGLY Helen said she cannot do it that way.”
When I read this I got curious to know more!!!! Who is calling people with such lies??
So Then I googled the tel # the man that had called me and it appears to be a payphone. SO I WAS RIGHT SCAM ALRIGHT!! This is what I found on google read..... ........TEXAS PAYPHONES
