Description
A foreign lady called my cell phone offering a $9400 AARA Federal Grant. I was granted this money. They gave me a code to give when I call back. AM3006. They said to call the phone number back. 916-890-0047. Told me not to tell anybody. I did not call the number back. they did not say how much it was. I had a feeling it was a scam. I asked what the grant was for and they did not answer me. /she said this is not a scam. Do you want it or not.
