Got unwanted call from 202-516-7027?
Hello this message for Mr. Brian Snipes. Mr. XXXX this is Joe goldstein(?) from the US Government accountability office. Please call me back as soon as you receive this message 202-516-7027.
He said he was from a gov't agency and that I won a sweepstakes. I was skeptical and he commented my lack of enthusiasm. He said I needed to call the American Sweepstakes Network at 888 600 6078 to get a confirmation #, and call him back. I called and the automated message gave me 938 as my confirmation number and said I won $950,000. I then called him back and he repeated that I sounded skeptical. He said someone from Homeland Security needed to monitor the call and he would call me back. Still waiting for my $950,000. Lol.
In my case they claimed to the the FBI and that I was going to be arrested. Nigerian Scam.
Received a call and voice message requesting I urgently return call the the Federal Trade Commission about some Nigerian scam. Don't fall for this. Government agencies contact by mail.
same same!
Pretending to be the Federal Trade Investigation needing to speak with me urgently.
