These calls are clearly scam attempts, using fake government titles to coerce personal data and money. Callers throw vague references to the U.S. Treasury or grant offices, often with background noise that hints at a call‑center operation. They may drop a nickname you’ve used online to add credibility, then promise cash in exchange for confirming details. Hang‑ups and profanity are typical pressure tactics. Never share personal or financial info, and block the number promptly. If you receive a voicemail, treat it as suspicious and report it to your carrier or a consumer‑protection agency. A quick lookup of the number often shows it’s disconnected or tied to unrelated entities.
Recieved a message on my answering machine today, didnt say much, but they used a nickname i use on Myspace, so they might be hacking into it.
Dialing the number back resulted in a disconected message, wich was quite frustating.
I recieved a call on saturday morning from this number, the caller ID show'd a number from Peoria IL, the caller claim'd to be from the US grant's office, but had a indian accent and i could hear call center noise in the background
Received a call and they immediatly hung up
They called me and started swearing, it was really unprofesional
There was only silence before the line went dead.
