Got a call from "US Govt"?  telling me that I can get $7000 grant that has been reserved in my name. Foreign accent.

Things to believe:

• There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
• If it sounds (or looks) too good to be true, it probably is.
• You have not won big bucks from a benign benefactor, a pot of pesos from PCH, dinero from a doctor, a car from a caller, or a grant from a gracious government    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
• The tooth fairy really does not exist
• Everything you read on the internet is not necessarily true.
• It is illegal to ask for money for a loan or prize, before awarding the loan or prize!
• "Free Trips" are loaded with mandatory & costly extras, and you usually must give them your card number after listening to a loooong spiel at a hotel.
• Microsoft or one of their agents did NOT cold call you to fix your computer.
• The moon is not made of green cheese.
• The IRS will snailmail you, rather than phone you, if there is a problem.
• Jackalope milk is not an aphrodisiac.
• If you "green dot", MoneyGram or Western Union money to a scammer, the money is gone.
• You should beware of Greeks bearing gifts, specially if the gift is a wooden horse with termites.
• 876 is NOT your lucky number, and it will cost you money to call that area code!

i got call from this number twice and when i picked the call nothing saying

Call three times today, didn't get to my phone first two times third time, I answered the third time (after a couple hours) and couldn't understand him/her (too quite) they hung up after ten seconds. Due to the number I'm guessing different country completely.

He said he was from the US treasury dept. there was a lot of call center type noises and he had a middle eastern accent. I state that I did not believe him. he said don't get smart with him then he hung up.

I wish they stop calling me,

Person had foreign accent and claimed to be calling about a government grant

Man with foreign accent named Gary Marshall called me and stated if I sent him $180 he would send me a government check for $7000 plus my $180 "Security Refund Amount".  He transferred me to Steven x121, he told me to go to Walmart and call him back and he would make the transaction over the phone.

Foreign jerk called and wanted to speak with Mr. Francis.
Told him he had the wrong number and hung up rudely.

After seeing this site next time they call I'm just gonna make farting noises in the phone.

Be aware of this scammer. Reporting to better business bureau. You should do the same.

Tired of annoying unwanted scam calls. STOP CALLING!! makes me not want a phone

Womans voice just kept saying they loved me in a foreign accent....so weird
