Maryland area code. I have some contacts in Maryland so I called the number back. A rude woman said I had qualified for $7000 in grant money from the federal government that I wouldn't have to pay back. (That's the definition of a grant, lady.) When I said, "that's nice but I don't need it", she yelled "[***] you!" I said "excuse me?!" and she repeated it. She hung up after I told her that was uncalled for and she needed to learn better customer service skills. Obviously a scam! A man also answered when I called back again to complain about the bimbo.

I just got the same lady, very rude when I told her to remove our number. kept yelling f**k you.

Someone called from this number. I didn't answer, because I'm tired of these spams numbers.... and nobody left me a message.

Grant solicitation message. Message says that you have qualified for a grant and gives you an approval code, then the call back number.

Definitely telemarketing --- TELEMARKETING. Don't waste your time.

Received call by my husband when he tried to put me on the phone they hung up.  I called back and told them that we were talking with them and they hung up again. Called from another phone, they answered and said I was one of 700 people who had won a $7000. grant from the US Federal Government because I had not been convicted of a crime, pay my bills and had not filled for bankruptcy.  After saying this they asked for my age and initials so they could give me my ID number, they obviously did not have any specific information regarding me.  They were going to give me a supervisor so that the money could be transferred to my account today.  I told them that my US Federal Government does not give grants in this manner and that this was a scam and hung up.  Do not waste time with these people they are trying to get your bank account information so that they can empty your money from your account!!
