Received a call on my work cell, which is an unpublished, unlisted number.  No voice-mail left.  Hopefully this is the only call I get.

Just got a call from this number on my cell phone.  They left a voice mail offering the free STARZ/HBO and so on package for my digital satellite.   I don't have a digital satellite system.

Some stupid telemarketing company...Lisa from the TV Center...she is selling something..lol

A guy with a thick indian accent said he was calling from the us government and that my name and number had been randomly selected to receive a $7,000 grant, which of course i'd never have to pay back. He also said it was because I hadn't filed for bankruptcy in the past 12 months. He then read off my address and asked if it was correct. as soon as i hung up i checked out the number and as it turns out it is a scam. pity. i could have used that money for college.

The number is irrelevant. This company calls from different numbers (area codes, states) they are stolen numbers, so they can't be traced. They are offering you a lower intrest rate, you just have to verify your personal information. Then they steal your info and hang up. Do not give any company your name/DOB or SS# EVER!! Let them verify you, OR get there name and number and call them back. Most times when you ask if you can call them back them back, they will hang up. Protect your personal information, people! Most of these calls are not telemarkers, but identity thiefs!
