This # shows as caller id, yet when I try to call it Telephone company recording says invalid telephone #. Called both my phone and husbands. Sounds like identity theft, fraud. Says U.S. Fed'l government selects 1600 citizens each year who pay taxes and have no criminal activity to receive a grant of $9,000. they stated it is not a loan, will not have to be paid back. I was given 2 options (I was trying to get as much info on them as I could). 1 option to give them my checking acct info, the other MY credit card number for them to put as debit card. I tried to get their "department" telephone number & was told I'd get a call back # AFTER I gave info and given to other dept. I asked for the guy's employee ID #, so he gave me to supervisor. He tried to give me same explanations, I said if US Treasury, they already have my checking account info, & they could mail me prepaid debit card like others do. He said they needed me to tell him my account info to verify who I am, since so much fraud.(probably cause I already started accusing him of identity theft & fraud) When I asked where he was calling from, which state, where is his desk, the supervisor hung up.
