I got a call from hem but had read about another scam, so I knew what was going on. I told the jerk I was pressing charges if he did not stop calling and hung up. I tried the number back and it said the number had been disconnected. What a joke.

Wow! I feel alot better after I did the research on these numbers. I've been getting calls from these numbers for the past couple of months. I answered this call today because it had a caller Id name of Pearcy David, any who. The person I spoke with had a really hard core accent, I couldn't understand her so I asked her to put someone that I could understand. They claim to be from the United Staes Federal Goverment Greens Department, I was selected out of 1,700 people to rcv 7,000 dlrs because I've never been thru a Bk, felony,outstanding
good payer. She told me all I needed to do was to call her boss at 202-657-4837 his name was Cedric Faulker. I advised her that I wouldn't it sounded too shady & hung up on me.

i got the call today for $7000 grant money, asked what it was from he stated to pay my taxes.  
then i knew, so i freaked out about my property tax not being paid and that i need to call the county right know about my property taxes and investigate.  i was freaking out (acting) on this poor guy and then hung up laughing. becuse i know my taxes where paid.

The best thing to do is to tell the FTC (they handle the do not call registry and scheme calls like this one) about the number that called, get as much information as possible. I played along and got another number that I was supposed to call back, I will be giving them all the infomation I received, I will also be sharing it with the BBB, they can't do anything about it, but they do track it.

I got a call from (217) 679-2292. Didnt answer it in time. I called the number back & I got a recording saying it was no longer a working number. How can these people call from a ph number that is no longer in service?? Im sick of getting scam calls when i have my number on the "Do not call" registry!!!
