425-963-7342

we just recently moved to new jersey from michigan and started getting these calls yesterday.  we have gotten 3 so far.  thought since you were with the state police i would let you know.  they so far have just asked for my husband.  last night they hung up and i was gone today when they called.  i'm sure they will call tonight.  just a heads up that they are trying all over.  not sure how they got my husbands name and phone number together since we just got it and he doesn't even know it and it's in my name.  good luck getting these!!!!!!

received call 8/21 mid morning asking for husband who isn't even on phone bill.  heck, doesn't even know number yet.  just got it a week ago.  then called 8/21 late evening and hung up after 3 rings.  got home today and they had called again mid morning.

This is the second number that is doing this. They call ever hour and pestering never stops. Please stop calling i know your a scam!!!!

Since 08/22/2007 this number has been calling me around the clock..

Same here. A women with a foriegn accent called me from a fictious company called American Standard Financial and that they had $4500 of free government funds. She stated that all I had to do was pay a one-time fee of $359 and that she needed my bank account number. I kept asking her for their website and she said that another department would give me those details. Then I said, "if you can't give me a website, then why in the he11 would i give you my account number.  Then she said, "let me get a manager to give you those detail." When she came back she said the website was down. Then i said, just mail everything in the mail and she hung up.

I have just recently starting receiving these calls.  The first few, like the last post stated, they said nothing when I said "Hello."  The call a few times a day.  They just called me and instead of my saying anything I just listened and it forced her, the woman with the accent to speak.  I just kept asking her how she got my number.  She just kept on with her prepared speech.  I'm glad that I knew to enter this number in my search engine.  So now that I am aware I will no longer answer these calls.  It's unfortunate that we have people in the world like this today.

I recieved many calls by the 425 area code from Washington on my cell phone. Everytime I picked up the phone would hang up or no-one would say anything on the other line. I decided to call back; when I did I got an answer machine. I told who ever it was calling I don't appreciate the hang ups and none speaking calls when I answer. The next day the same number called back. I answered and the lady with a accent apologized about the phone problems and started at me about my pel-grant money. I just started a school, and they new my name, address, and everything mostly already. They called themselves at first Amercian Finacial. They told me I had a grant of $4,500 with a chance up to $8,500 if I qualify when I fill out the paper work they will send me in the mail. I said WOW, really, I didn't have any idea, and I couldn't hardly understand the lady; she had an African American to a Jamcian kind of speech. The lady trasferred me to another person to take info and when she did it sounded like the same lady. I asked and she said, "no I'm not the same lady, we are from the same place." OKAY, I thought!!! She said they needed $359.00 to start the processing fee, lontime fee, transfers, documentation, and the automatic payment in my bank. While this was going on, she said I was being recorded for security reasons so the bank can hear what I said about do I understand this and that. At the end she told me to listen after the beep for my verification number. A recording of a man gave me a 7 number verification. The lady came back on and I asked her where I could reach the company. She then said at 1-866-569-2573. I said when are you guys available during the week? She replied Mon-Fri from 10A.M. until 4:30P.M. Well, I told my sister about this and she didn't think that this sounded right, so she looked it up. I called the 1-866 number and spoke to a lady that sounded identical to my original call. I asked her what was the business called again;she said American Funds Financial. I said okay, well do you have an e-mail address? She replied just go to grants.com; I said then what I have to look you up myself you don't have your own e-mail.? She replied yes, then hung up on me. Goes to show you how I got fooled, not thinking that it could of been a fraud, now I know it is a true fraud.

Calling often. Doesn't leave messages on voicemail or when someone else answers the phone

Glad I never answered these 20 calls on my cell number!! Has anyone figured out how to make them stop call? I will be calling my cell phone provider to report..thanks for the alert

We started getting calls from 425-963-7342

Same story as the rest...the lady had a thick foreign accent and just blew through her speech n persistently asked for my account information but when I asked her to hold while I looked up the company on the internet she hung up on me.  She identified herself as Sasha..ID#134....

I haven't heard anyone talk yet. Just a few seconds then they hangup. Oh I intend to play mind warfare when they do talk !

I called them and played a scream over and over on their answering machine. Maybe we can fill up their machine with useless garbage:

when I answer I dont get a respond and I say hello like 3-4 times and the call is finally relized..when I call it back it says to leave a message or send a fax. I wont be answering this calls either.

They called me at my work number today, and knew my first name. The woman said I was being given a federal grant (garbled....) and that I wouldn't have to pay it back. I said, "now why would I be given a grant by anyone?" She woman became a bit flustered, and said "because you qualify by income", and then said, "I'll call you back tomorrow" and then hung up.
I wonder what turnip truck these nincompoops think we all fell off....

I received 6 calls from this number yesterday.  After the 2nd call I googled the number, then blocked the number from my phone.  I received 4 more calls that my phone blocked afterwards.  I can't get a response at all from whoever is on the other end of the phone.

They called me August 27th at 9:05am, 11:07am, 6:33pm, 7:27pm, 7:50pm, and then at 8:33pm.  

Even though I have the number blocked, my phone still counts the amount of times they call me.  I am still getting calls today.  Like everyone else, I just want to know what I can do to make them stop.  Just the fact that I can't [***] the lady out because she doesn't respond pisses me off.

I received tons of calls from this number too.  I called back and it was a voicemail.  Does anyone know who/what company this is?

They called me too, and when they said I have a grant for 4500 dollars, I replied F..k you. and they never called again, it works

no one the other end of line. when the number is called back it goes straight to a voice machine

They've been trying to get ahold of me for days, and finally caught me at home, today.  I listened to the story, and before they could transfer me, he again (for the 4th or 5th time) asked if I had a valid bank account.  I told him that I wasn't giving anyone my account number, and he hung up on me.  I used to work at a bank, and you never give your account number to someone who calls you.  Besides, real companies have their name show up on caller ID.  I hope someone catches these people, soon.
