Got unwanted call from 202-596-8252?
Got a call from a Michigan number. Said it was Dhhs and that I was chosen for an 8000 grant. That I could have it sent Western Union and I needed to call 202-596-8252 and give them a code to get the money today.
Yes this number called saying you have a grant in ur name for 9,000 and then they want you to purchase a pre paid card for 200.0 and then you can receive your grant money for 4,500 plus I reall think that this is a SCAMER
I received a call for a 9000 grant
Got a call from a Montana number & guy talking stated I was picked for a grant from the government through the DPHHS. Asked for a number to call back due to not being able to talk at the moment and he would not give me a number and kept saying he would call me back. After I asked for a number he finally gave me 202-596-8252. I called the Montana number back multiple times but no one would answer.
I recieved the same thing. They'll give you a code and tell you to call them at another number.
