they called me and said "This is Austin from the Us Education Dept  some phone numbers have been randomly selected and will receive grants that will never have to be paid back.  You don't have to give us any personal financial information.  I will ask you 15 questions and then my boss will call you back. did you graduate high school or have a GED?  I said, Yes.  Austin said, "what year did you graduate?"  I hung up.  Austin then called right back from telephone number 253-304-2934 (which is in Tacoma, WA)  He sure gets around fast.  Then Austin says, Did you hang up on me?  I said, "Yes".  He says, "if you feel I am asking questions too personal, you can hang up"  I hung up again.  He hasn't called back, YET!  Which I hope is never!!

This number 256-874-5983 calls and the name McDonald Tellie shows on my caller ID. The only part I could understand was...US Government.....static..then, I hung up. I get many calls from strange numbers with people's names I do not know...Also, many calls with a city and state showing on caller ID.  My phone number is no published so I don't know how people I don't know keeps calling my number.

They call 7 to 10 times a day.  I don't answer ANY calls from a number I am not familiar with.  They don't leave a message, but, still - extremely annoying!  If we are able to pinpoint a location of where this phone number resides, why aren't they stopped??
