Description

I received a phishing/scam phone call claiming to be from the “Emergency Government Fund,” telling me I was eligible to receive $32,000 in grant funding. The caller used an automated system and instructed me to press 1. I was then asked for personal information and told that in order to access the grant, I needed to send a refundable deposit of $50. I was given two callback numbers: 619-704-2399 and 833-867-3774. After complying, I realized this was fraudulent and both my personal information and money were compromised. I want to warn others about this scam so they don’t fall victim to the same scheme. I hope that the BBB can document these phone numbers, alert the public, and help prevent this company or group from targeting others.
