For the past 2-3 weeks I've had an odd number (001819) appear on my cell phone as an incoming call. Today I finally answered it. The lady told me her name was June and her ID# was 038. She was a rep. From First National Government Grant Benefits.
She said they have $12,500. For me and also $100.00 emergency cash. She wanted me to stated my name, bank name, routing number and account # which I refused to do. I demanded a phone number from her so I could call it to see if it was legit. She wouldn't give it to me and I hung up.
I found informaiton on this scam from this consumer complaints website. They had a phone number and address for this company. I called them and asked them the name of thier company. The lady told me. She then asked me to state my name. I wouldn't give it to her and asked her for their address. She kept saying "state your name." I said "no, all I want is your address." She then got very rude and said "it's obvious you're not ready to talk to me until you can give me your information..." I hung up on her.
It's a total scam - do not give them any information!!
