Got a call that was a recording saying I was eligible for a grant from the treasury for twelve thousand dollars. Caller ID said it was from NY NY.

Several minutes later I got a call from ET Bob asking me some basic computer questions he has asked before (It sounds like his computer is hacked from turning off all his protection like they told him to.)

Anyway, told him about the Grant notification call. He said I should call the number to check it out. Said it is only legitimate if they ask for money to get grant. Said he called and they wanted $147 to get the grant money.

Told Bob there are no grants offered by the Treasury for anything. It is not something the treasury department does. Grants are provided by companies, groups, and associations. And they do not look for and call people to tell them they qualify. You have to look for grants that are available and once found apply yourself.

He tried to tell me sometimes they call you. I said only if it is a scam, especially if they want you to pay them anything.
