Grant Phone Scam

Joe,

Beware of any Caller ID "Private Number" calls. I received one just minutes ago. The foreigner kept telling me my name and phone number had been picked to receive a grant for up to $45,000.00. All I needed to do was verify my name, number and give them my bank account number for direct deposit. When I told her I don't give out my account number to anyone she hung up on me.

  1. That was a simple enough request. She hung up, and your out the 45 thousand.

  3. Why would anyone pick up when CID reads "Unavailable" or "Private"???
