They told me I was approved for a grant that I had recently applied for in the amount of 7,000 dollars. After I assured them that they had the wrong number, the continued to call. After about the third call, I answered requesting to be put on the blocked list. Some guy began to get irrate and began to get volgure with me and threatened to put my personal information on a pornographic website. He also left several messages using an unbelievable amount of vulgarity. What can I do? Who do I call when my life us being threatened by a stranger that has my phone number and who knows what else? How will innocent people who fall victim to similar scenarios be protected?

I had a person call first from this # 2025625525 then they told me to call 2532377676 . The first time I called I called private & they told me that I couldn't call private cause those where d rules. Then d second time I called. I told them I had looked up this number & that I was a scam so they hung up on me. So I called again &  the line was busy.

I do not want to be called by this group of people any more. If I did not call their firm for a loan, I do NOT want them to call me to offer me one. I have chosen the companies that I desire to transact financial business with. Thank you.

Invest in a call blocker and DO NOT pick up on call numbers you do not recognize.  These callers are hard core Indian and Pakistani debt/loan/ grant scammers.
