I have unexpected money rolling in [View all]

I've been getting phone calls, blocked caller-id, and the speakers always have an accent.

They say that the U.S. Government has qualifed me for a seven-thousand dollar grant that I do not have to pay back. And this is because I have no criminal record and I pay my taxes.

I have a twitchy thumb that always disconnects the call before they get much further, but I know there's some "found money" out there with my name on it!

Anyone else sharing in this governmental benificence?



I think this is a most persistent group of scam artists.
