I was called from 202-631-2323 and a man by the name of John Williams who did not speak english well, said he worked for the US Treasury Dept. of Education Grants and I had been selected for a Grant of $7000. He wanted my bank account after verifying my address, and phone number for direct deposit, or he could get the funds to me by western union.
He gave me another number to call back to verify the validity of this award of 347-380-6882, and a claim number.
US Treasury Dept. of Education Grants-No such Department. Dept. of Education is incharge of education Grants, and you have a process of application to get one, they do not call out of the blue.
John Williams who did not speak english well- most persons who work with the public or in governmental departments are clear and articulate.
I had already been called by a similar person concerning a small business grant with all the same earmarks.
I believe that my name, address and phone(only the one I use in forms, not my official or home number) were taken from an online source, and in the case of the small business loan he knew my business name and asked me id I was the business name: example if my business was Baking with Minnie Mouse, asking if I was Ms. Minnie Mouse.
Always when dealing with things online use a set type of information. example john z. Ronald if your name is John s. Ronald. Then you know it was from online. Use a untracable cell number, never your home number. Pay with paypal and even then use a prepaid card for that paypal. GreenDot is perfect. (note: you cannot get fee'd to death with a prepay when they charge multiple times as they drain your account.)
