I received three calls call stating that I qualify for a government grant of $8000.00. The first time I told him I didn't believe him and I hung up. About two hours later I received another call and I faked interest, as he was telling me about the grant the line was disconnected. I then received three hang up call about once every two hours. About two hours after the last hang up call, I changed my voice sounding timid and week and he spoke to me. He once again told me about the grant telling me that once a year the government draws 1500 names and phone numbers to honor with a grant and asked me if I were interested in receiving it. I of course said yes. He then read off my name and address and asked if they were correct. He then told me that there were three was to get my money; by Western Union Money Gram, direct deposit into my checking on savings account or to my money card. I chose Western Union. He then referred me to call this number back for account administration saying that they were the right people to process my grant claim. When I called back from another phone with the number blocked they answered, didn't say anything then hung up. When I called a second time the same person I spoke to the above times asked "Is this (my name)". I responded "Yes" then he hung up. When I called a third time there was no answer.
