I recieved a call today telling me that I was qualified to recieve an $8,000 government grant. The caller had an Indian accent and said her name was Angela Adams, ID #0207. She told me I just needed to pay $257.00 to go through a qualification process, after which a package would be sent to my home. She asked me if I belonged to a Chevy Chase Bank (which I do), and asked if I had my bank card number ready.
I had a hard time beliving that the "government grant office" was located in Las Vegas, plus I know how hard it is to get a grant in the first place. I told her that I didn't have the money, but she could send me the information to look at. She was unwilling to do that, so I asked if I could have her phone number. She said she couldn't give me that either (why would she give me her ID number then), and hung up with me quickly.
