314-400-7393

This number rang on my phone all day   After being harassed with rings all day, I finally answered.  I said that I was someone else and Dee was not there.  I was concerned with the nonstop calls and no messages ever left.  He called back 1/2 hour later.  He said he worked for US Financial Services and wanted to do a grant for me so I could get a loan for starting a business  The government pays him to write grants for people.  He said only a 3.87 cent charge would appear if I would like to give my credit card information. He said to go to www.grants.gov and he writes the grants to submit to them for people.   He said grants are from 10,000 to 40,000 and asked how much I want.  Knowing a grant writer, questions were asked of this person and when asked where he was located, the phone went dead.  He said his name is Ben Barker at 1-800-347-1191 ext 102.  Irritated I called the number back and the company name was never mentioned. All it said was put in the extension  so I did  102.  It came up voice mail for a chris  Could not get through to any company to find out who it really was.  The phone number indicates telemarketers from Missouri  I sent an email to US Financial in Missouri to get facts and inform them

I getting calls from this number 20 times a day sick of it so I call it back hit 0 to try to find out who it is 800-347-1191 ben parker don;t know them I left a message tilling him to stop calling my number before I turn them in .

Jan, most of the numbers scammers call from are spoofed numbers.  The scammers are not beyond using someone's real number or a real business name and number sadly..
