It’s astonishing how often this number masquerades as a federal grant office, yet every clue points to a classic phone scam. Callers repeatedly claim you’ve won $7,000‑$8,000, demand personal data, and speak with heavy non‑U.S. accents. The pattern of multiple daily calls, vague agency names, and pressure to act fast is textbook fraud. If you receive such a message, hang up, block the number, and report it to the FTC. Never share banking info or purchase gift cards, and consider using a call‑blocking app to curb persistent robocalls.
