I received a call from a 206-319-4400 was told I have been selected from a national survey for people who are unemployed, disabled, blah, blah, blah to receive a one-time federal grant in the amount of $9200 they wanted my checking account or credit card information. I asked alot of questions, such as: Is there a phone # or website I can call or checkout? Do I have to pay any fees? And guess what? I was transferred to a "manager". He, John, told me everything the person before had told me. I asked again for a phone # or website address. After about 5 minutes of him re-explaining everything, he got real frustrated with me and gave me a # to call the "main office". Ok I then call 202-470-0753. I get someone on the phone and was told the exact same thing. So I asked, If you were to receive a phone call out of the blue and was told $9200 was given to you by the "federal government", would you give your checking account info over the phone without researching it? He replied "No". I said ok. I will need to research this and if it is legit I will call you back.
The phone call "got dropped". I was also given an "access code". What?
So I typed in the 202-470-0753 # and this is exactly what I thought the whole time. A Scam!!!
Oh and by the way, I had to pay a one-time bank fee that would go directly to The Cancer Foundation. Seriously?
Please Please Please DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OFFER, until you research it and NEVER GIVE OUT ANY INFORMATION. If they call you they should already have your information. Right?
The Federal Government gives you nothing ok?
