123-456-7898

Got a call at 6:43 what is it all about? It went to VM but no messages. The phone # just don't look right!!

I received a call from this number. I suspected it to be a telemarketer. I answered to request they take ma off their list. Stanley was on the other end. It was very loud on his end. He stated he had $7,000.00 in a US Government grant for me. He then started to ask for my credit crd information. I told him I would not give it to him. When I insisted on him telling me the name of his company, he got upset, told me he was calling from Washington DC for the government. He stated I was wasting his time. When I requested he remove my name from his list, he said he would call me every 5 minutes. I told him I was recording the call and he hung up.

They just called me too, my machine came on and the lady just said hello about 4 times and hung up? The number did look wierd....

I have also been reciving calls from this number, its a lady that just asks for me and then hangs up.

I received call 7:40 pm. Person sayd that calling from US Government and i am selected one of 15000 people to receive 7000 in a US Government grand. Then his tried to get information about my credit card. That looked to me as a fish and declined that money. His start to be nervous and sayd that this conversation is recording and will be announced on radio. That was most awful thing i ever heard :) His gaved to me call back number 202-621-0046 and confirmation number VA321. Thats number is NOVES company cell phone witch is not in service.

Got a phone call from 123 456 7898 number this morning saying I qualified for a $7000 government grant.  He said his name was Edward Watson, sure sounded like Habib from the quickie mart to me.  He wouldn't give a call back number unless I told him all of my information.  He insisted for bank numbers and other personal info.  It seemed like he already knew a lot about me like my address and family situation and I don't know how he got it.  He put me on hold and I hung up on him and he called right back cussing the same word over and over at me.

This guy called me a few times and i did not answer then I answered for the fun of it and strung him along a bit. after a few minutes i got bored and when he asked for my bank number i said never call me again. two seconds later he called back and I answered and all he said was [***] you.

I got a call from 1234567898 people this is a scam be aware!!!!!

THIS IS A SCAM. This is the advance-fee-for-something scam where something is a grant, loan, lottery winnings, doggie, fabulous vacation, etc., and the advance-fee is for tax, shipping, etc. They may send you a fake check, or may want your card info or tell you to wire cash via Western Union, Moneygram, etc. Wired-cash is irretrievable - once it's picked up at the other end, it's untraceable and gone.

i recieved several calls from this number, i answered with hello but never got a response at one time i asked never to call my number again i heard what on the line. another time i got a call it sounded like maybe females in a room and doors closing

Got a call today from 1234567898 answered with my phone muted. Very loud background noise and some guy said "hello" 2 times then hung up. Sure wish there was a way to snag these scum bags and make them pay back all the money they have scammed, and also make them pay a large chunk of cash to every owner of every phone the dialed

I got a telephone call from this number: 123-456-7898 and the message came up as Name Not Found and I did not answer it.

I got a phone this morning at 10:00 am and refuse to talk to this man because I knew this was a bad number and he yelled out F***you!

I got several calls from this number claiming the same thing. Calling from the government and offering a grant. They actually did not request any bank or credit card info from me but after reading these blogs, I became concerned. I told my husband to handle it. Some guy calls back and my husband tells him to go ahead and send a check. (Of course we are going to turn it over to the authorities if received and hopefully it can be handled). I get yet ANOTHER call the very next day and my husband answered. This one was very rude. My husband told him someone had already contacted us. The guy got nasty and said "well do you want this money or not". My husband told him we had already said to send the check. lol We will see if a check actually comes and then maybe they can be caught.

I received a call from this number about 5 mins ago and they were asking me for some personal information.. the first 10 seconds I already know that its bogus but since I'm in the mood for f**ng around I just listened and gave them incorrect information.. like my birthday, bank account number. etc... now who is scammed? ? ? ?  hahahaha, then I told the freaking woman that I worked in Washington DC and that she did not even sound like she's calling from the US.. she hung up on me.. so guess what.. the last laugh is mine....

I receuved a phone call today from a guy who sounded foreign. He asked for me by my first name only. I asked who was calling and he gave me his first name and immediately started his sales pitch that I had been accepted to receive $7,000.00 dollars from the Government! Sounds good but come on........the government is NOT giving away that kind of money!! I told the guy to take me off his calling list and he hung up on me.

they called me saying i owe debt and some how they have my ss# ...

omg i young so i didnt realize this was a scam i gave the guy my info he supposed to call me back in about 15 mins.. wat should i say?

THIS IS A SCAM. Scammers pretend to be law enforcement (police, sheriff, Feds, AG's Office, fake cop agencies with made-up names) and using bought/hacked loan application data to extort your personal info (ID theft) or fines for fictitious crimes.

Whatever info you gave them is in criminals' hand and you have to do damage control now. Contact your bank or card issuer, kill account(s) and get the money charged back. You have to replace all accounts you gave them info on. Never Western Union money to people you don't personally know. Google for info on how to deal with identity theft.
