Is 202-559-4672 a scam or spam call?
My new coworker is from the Philippines. Told me she got a call and was directed to take out a card for $100 and to call them back. would get a grant for education. She was new to the US. unfortunately she was scammed out of $100
They called out of nowhere saying that I have been selected for a $9,000 grant that I don’t have to pay back. HA! I knew it was a scam because T-Mobile lets you know it’s a “Scam Likely” call. They called from this FAKE ASS number...202-000-78 I’m not an idiot. Also, I searched this “so called” Federal Treasury Department and found their REAL number which is not the number they gave me to call with this stupid code. I just sat there listening to them trying to sound professional while smiling the whole time. Probably working for $5 a day in a cheap warehouse in a third world country seeing how many Americans are stupid enough to fall for this shit. I’m 30 not 3.
They called saying the same thing I got a code and everything I gave them my old prepaid card information just to test them Nd see if it was real but nope didn’t get any money it’s an old card so I’m not worried about it but hate that they think it’s ok to do that to people.
I played along with this for giggles until they told me to put $100 on any card and call them back. I asked them how many people actually fall for this scam? It was hilarious,
They said I have 9000 federal grant and i don't need to pay it back. I can go to any store and get it by money gram or they can direct deposit to my bank account. They said to call this number for directions. They also wouldn't give me their company name. 9000 grant sure sounds great when you just started going to college again! I said it sounds like a scam and they hung up on me hahaha. This isn't the first time they called either.
So what do they gain from this?
SAME here this is probably a scam. the guy said he is Alex Smith. which I think not his real name.
Just received a call saying the same story the 9000 federal grant and that I could get it at Walmart by money gram
I received a call from what I thought was one of my contacts..with a number not hers only her name..100000000. The guy said I had a 9k grant from the US government and that I could pick up at several places. I engaged this fool by letting him know that this called showed up as a friend name..what was he doing? I wasn't gonna fall for this scam. He said..lol..no its true..you don't have to pay it back..whatever! The phone number he wanted me to call back was 202-559-4672 for directions. Beware people...the scammers have and are getting clever by the minute.
