is this is scam??
So I get a call the othe day at its an indian lady saying shes from some government section and that i am qualified to get a grant from 8G to 25G from the government for being a tax payer. Funny thing is she had my last name and address and number, but she asked me how to spell my first name and what my middle initial was. She asked a couple of questions and i just said whatever because i could hardly understand her because of her accent...then she asks for my checking account number and routing number so they know where to put the money..i could hardly understand her..but i told her to call me back..sure enough the next day at the same time another indian person calls me with a really thick accent and continues with the process..he said he needs the checkin acount number and routing number to withdraw a 240 processing fee..he asked to verify that my routing number was something but i couldnt really understand him and it sounded like the number was sorta close but some numbers were off and it ws like one number too short..and he asked for my bank location because he said his comp had this information and he was trying to figure out why he has the wrong info..anyways i guess it is a scam..but i would like to know where to go to verify this and who to contact to report it

Scam-a-lam-a-ding-dong.
Ask them for their number, so you can call them back... Ask for their address, too. Call the IRS to report them.

does the Pope wear a funny hat?
seriously  Nobody wants to give you money. If they have to ask for your banking details,they've no business having them. Next time they ring ,tell them to go away.

Re: is this is scam??
If you're STILL not sure, just open up a new account with nothing in it and give them that number. Then watch as it gets pinged 100+ times over the next week.
Seriously, folks, DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING ANYONE SAYS OVER THE TELEPHONE. IF IT'S LEGIT (and sometimes even if it's not) they will send you paperwork. But if they won't send you anything, it's definitely 100% a big fat scam. p.s. Ever heard of Google? http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...ee&btnG=Search http://usgovinfo.about.com/cs/consum...cgrantscam.htm http://www.umtownship.org/alert042904.html

Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings wearing horned helmets. Whenever the word "scam" is repeated, they begin singing and/or chanting. A man and his wife enter. The man is played by Eric Idle, the wife is played by Graham Chapman (in drag), and the waitress is played by Terry Jones, also in drag.
Man: You sit here, dear. Wife: All right. Man: Morning! Waitress: Morning! Man: Well, what've you got? Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and scam; egg bacon and scam; egg bacon sausage and scam; scam bacon sausage and scam; scam egg scam scam bacon and scam; scam sausage scam scam bacon scam tomato and scam; Vikings: Scam scam scam scam... Waitress: ...Scam scam scam egg and scam; scam scam scam scam scam scam baked beans scam scam scam... Vikings: Scam! Lovely scam! Lovely scam! Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and scam. Wife: Have you got anything without scam? Waitress: Well, there's scam egg sausage and scam, that's not got much scam in it. Wife: I don't want ANY scam! Man: Why can't she have egg bacon scam and sausage? Wife: THAT'S got scam in it! Man: Hasn't got as much scam in it as scam egg sausage and scam, has it? Vikings: Scam scam scam scam... (Crescendo through next few lines...) Wife: Could you do the egg bacon scam and sausage without the scam then? Waitress: Urgghh! Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like scam! Vikings: Lovely scam! Wonderful scam! Waitress: Shut up! Vikings: Lovely scam! Wonderful scam! Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg bacon scam and sausage without the scam. Wife: I don't like scam! Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your scam. I love it. I'm having scam scam scam scam scam scam scam beaked beans scam scam scam and scam! Vikings: Scam scam scam scam. Lovely scam! Wonderful scam! Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off. Man: Well could I have her scam instead of the baked beans then? Waitress: You mean scam scam scam scam scam scam... (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words) Vikings: Scam scam scam scam. Lovely scam! Wonderful scam! scam sca-a-a-a-a-am scam sca-a-a-a-a-am scam. Lovely scam! Lovely scam! Lovely scam! Lovely scam! Lovely scam! scam scam scam scam!
