Received a call from the company, could not tell me what the matter was. Only would say that the paperwork has been signed and sent to the District Court. Hung up on me multiple times when asked what the call was in reference to along with the use of profanity towards me. Never got to the point of asking for money because once I said that I was going to report them to the authorities they would hang up.

I call this number from the internet I found, I want to find out if and I know my Ex-husband is hacking into my phone and computer. I gave his phone number 239-898-6985. I sure he called his number. The day I call to ask him if he could do this he said yes. I would have to pay $650.00 up front and $650.00 at the end. I would have to pay a check by Western Union or another company I never heard of. I said no, because these are scams. I said I pay him by a debit card or a personnel check. Then I said I won't pay him until after the divorce. This way my ex would have to go jail, for hacking. I'm not good with computers, I'm afraid he's open accounts or emails in my name, Going back This guy name is Frank. he's called twice with a number beginning with 555-???? that's it.

9-7-2016 a phone call to my cell phone from 612-512-4234 (displayed on my Caller ID as from Minnesota). There was a recording message when I answered telling me that it was a call from the IRS and that there was going to be a Law Suit against me and to call that same # about it right away.

I did not call, but I do think someone should follow through and find out what is going on with this type of thing!!!

Type of a scam Government Grant

At 11:51am (MDT) I was called by a gentleman who asked to speak to Michael, He stated I was eligible to receive a government grant of $9600.00. I was one of 1500 people selected each year who paid their bills and taxes on time. He had my name, mailing address and email address already. He asked how I would like to receive the check and I told him by mail. He said I would be receiving the check in the mail in a few days. I did not give any personal information, as mentioned he already had my name and address. I found the following on the internet about a similar scam in Houston.

HOUSTON (KTRK) --

Phones are ringing all over Houston with the promise of cash in the form of government grants.

There's just one problem. Grants are not easy to get, but that's not what callers are telling Houston residents. The catch to getting government money? You have to pay first.

Betty Williams says a recent call to her cell came with the promise of big bucks.

"The reason they said my number was picked was because he government is giving free grants to people who pay their bills on time and pay all of their taxes," said Williams.

Williams says the caller said she would get $7500 in government grants to help pay bills. But to get the money, she needed to wire $300 first.

Williams says that's a step she knew not to take.

"There are a lot of senior citizens who do not know a lot, especially at my age, they will say, 'oh 7500 dollars,'" said Williams.

Fortunately Williams knows better, did some research.

"I found out this is really truly a scam. I am not crazy, I was not born yesterday," said Williams. "I might be a senior citizen, but I got all my mental faculties with me."

Monica Russo with the Houston ScamPulse.com says Williams did the right thing by not falling for the grant scam. She says getting a real grant is not so easy.

"It's a whole process. You have to apply for it. A lot of times you have to draft paper work for it. So it's not something that is as easy as these guys make it out to be," said Russo.

The BBB says to be on the lookout because if one person in our area got this call, it will likely happen to many, many more.

Unknown person called claiming that this was the final notice and the IRS had a warrant for my arrest. I was directed to call (323) 434-2156 immediately. We did not answer the call, this information was left on the voicemail.

We have no intentions of returning the call.

The message didn't identify us by name, just the IRS had a warrant (which I know is false) and this was the final notice.
