Person with accent claiming I was awarded a 8,500 grant from the gov that didn't have to be paid back and I could use it any way I wanted. Knowing this was not true, and this was about the 8th time they called and I normally say not interested I decided to go along with it for more info to pass on so no one gets played by these folk. He gave am an I.D. number and a phone number to call.
I called the number and another man with an accent answered and reminded me of the grant and ask if I could get to a Western Union because they are not allowed to ask for banking info. When I told him I was on my way out the door for an appointment and wouldn't be able to get to one until maybe 8 p.m. ( it was 3:30 Dayton, Ohio time) he said that would be to late and could I possibly make it there at 7. Again reminded him of appointment and couldn't be sure. He told me that if I could to call him back and if not call him tomorrow at 12 noon.
When I asked him if there was anything I had to do, such as pick up money and return some to them (hip to that scam, TRICK NO GOOD. all he would say is that when I called him he would give me the details then.
Gonna play along and call back tomorrow. NOW I KNOW THIS IS A SAM, if govt was gonna give me free money, they got all my info. put the damm check in the mail. I will update this tomorrow
