Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
I have calls incoming saying from they are from the US Govt and I have won $9000. I was to call them back at 803-834-1131 to claim my winnings. They keep calling on different numbers but I won’t answer.They wanted me to send them $1000 by personal check and then they would then send me my $9000 winnings. They sound foreign and sound like a room full of people talking at the same time. I told them no I would not send them anything because they were targeting seniors and it was a fraud. Then I hung up on them.

I have received several calls but the latest one said I had won $40,000 in a Government Grant and I needed to send them money by giving them my card number. I told them I did not have a card and they said I need to go get a debit card and send them the money.

I receive two text messages.
Your number has been selected by US Govt. for receiving free grants money of $8400. To Claim your money call us back on 209-643-0604. Your grants ID is EW27Z4
Both texts stated the same thing just different numbers. I didn’t call either one. It seemed fishy that I received a text about govt funds.
