Complaints about Phone Numbers214-329-####

I got a call from a number thst was same area code and same first 3 digits as my own phone number and they called me at least 10x today. Finally I picked up and they said I was chosen to receive a grant of $7400+ That I did not have to pay back, I asked her what info I needed to provide her because I don’t give personal info over the phone and she said I just had to give my “basic account number” or “ basic card number” and the funds would be deposited within 20 minutes. I have a bank account that Is still open and it is negative balance so I gave her the number to that account and she gave me this number as a callback number and I was supposed to call this number and give my grant ID number to get my money deposited. So I called the number and the guy that picked up didn’t have an Indian accent like the First Lady had. I gave my grant ID number and then he asked me how much money I had in the account I provided them and I said that it only had about a couple dollars in it currently and immediately he hung up on me. I tried calling back multiple times and each time it would ring then instead of a voicemail it would give me the message that you would get when you call a number that is out of service; “welcome to Verizon Wireless, your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number and try again” So once I told him I had no money in the account for them to steal immediately he hung up. Just proves that it’s a scam because I was told you don’t need to pay even a penny to receive the money. The whole point of a grant is to help you when you’re in a financial crisis, so me having no money in my account is, I BET, something that they hear a lot so & then Turn your back on the people you’re supposedly trying to help

negative! I thought the government was going to take action against these parasitic companies!

One of the MANY numbers the Dallas Morning News uses to try to sell overpriced subscriptions. I have this number blocked, but it still shows in my call history. They are aggressive, annoying and they never stop. When you tell them you're not interested so please stop calling, they begin quadrupling the number of calls all hours of the day, night and weekend. I really don't understand how a mediocre brand of dying media continues to get away with this much obtrusive harassment.

Same as above: Robot left a voicemail “Activities so when you get this message press one to speak to our office or or kindly call us back on our hotline number 214-329-4279 I repeat that is 214-329-4279 disregard this notice and do return the call before we begin with the legal proceedings against you thank you if you wish to speak with our executive then press one now…” Total scam

Wanted to know if I was the owner of the business. I said no. Asked to speak to the owner. I said he was not in today. She said ok no worries. High accented woman. She asked if I had a website for the business. I said yes we do. She said ok thank you and have a good day and she hung up.
