I got a call today - said I had received a $9,000 grant from the treasury. All I had to do was call some 850- code telephone number.
I have never applied for any kind of grant or loan from any govt agency.
I am sure, had I called that 850- number, they would have asked for my SSN and other personal info.
Just as likely it would have been a number that put a $200 charge on your phone bill. My policy is to not call back to any number that I can’t verify before doing so.
