Accented Telemarketers Targeting Grants!
Summary — +14242452187
Expert Opinion
Watch out for repeated, silent or heavily accented calls promising free money or grants—these are classic scam telemarketing tactics. The callers often claim to represent reputable brands like e‑bay or a grant agency, but they never provide verifiable details and will pressure you for personal or financial info. If you’re on the Do‑Not‑Call list and the calls persist, block the number, file a complaint with the FTC, and consider a call‑blocking service. Never share credit‑card numbers, Social Security data, or other sensitive info over the phone, especially when the caller’s identity is unclear.
