Just got this call to receive a grant for $9,000 to never be paid back, and that this was the number to give my information to.
The lady was Indian or Middle Eastern and obviously in a busy call center. She got very upset when I couldn't understand her. First of all the speaker feature on my phone is really terrible and cuts in and out, second I'm literally deaf in one ear with an ear infection right now, and third she had a thick accent and I could barely understand her.
So whatever, I get the "information" (wink wink) to set up and the number to call, Googling it first of course to find this website.
I knew it was a scam the second I answered the phone. For one, it's in India or wherever, secondly it was an Unknown number, and third she addressed me as "Ms. Kitty Lee". NO ONE calls me that unless it is spam. That's apparently how my nickname and my last name get used by these fake companies ALL THE TIME. Spam emails? Fake spam snail mail? To Ms. Kitty Lee. There ya go.
I also got a follow-up Unknown number call from this number: 713-481-8134 apparently located in Houston Texas.
BE CAREFUL PEOPLE!!!!!!
