Got unwanted call from 240-233-8130?
*if it really was real
Janell, I heard the same thing as you. I don’t think this is true but I wish I had the money to verify it really was real.
They claim I have been selected for $9000 grant money, but I didn't apply for one. Then they have me call another number and ask if I can go to the nearest western union to get my money, but want me to call when I'm there. Then they said I'll need to get a activation card with western union and put $300 of my own money that's refundable..... Click I hung up right there, I'm not that stupid!!
Pretending to be government grant services but don’t speak very good English
