I answered and a guy with a heavy accent said I was receiving 9k from the Government Grants due to a survey in my area.... they did respond with the city and state I live in. I told him a few times that it sounded like a scam. I asked to speak to their manager and a few very recorded and fake rings in the background and then the same guy pretended to be the manager. Needless to say, I hung up.

Been receiving calls from this number for a few days. Finally my husband answered and they told him that I had been selected to receive $9K for a US Gov Grant and I could pick it up at a Western Union. They said my name and numbver was picked from a survey and they address they gave was one I had 9 yrs ago. S-C-A-M!!!
