Picked up and it rang through to a busy call center where a women with a very thick accent informed me that she was an official of the U.S. government and wanted to give me a $9,000 refund, but could only do so if I gave her my bank account information.
I asked what department or agency she belonged to, and she stammered for a while before finally claiming she was an agent of the "United States Grant Department." She tried to explain that every year you pay taxes, and then this mysterious "Grant Department" selects people to reward for paying on time.
I informed her it is a felony to impersonate a government agent, and then she started her script all over again. When I cut her off, she told me that the government wanted to bless me, then stammered a little more before hanging up.
