According to the FBI, telemarketing scammers are calling residents in Mississippi and advising them that they are eligible for a Government grant. Oh, by the way... There is also a "Processing Fee" which requires you supply the caller with your credit card/bank account number.
Be skeptical! Telemarketing scammers cannot TAKE money from you; contrarily, you have to GIVE it to them. Sheriff Turner and the FBI offer the following advice: If you receive one of these calls, please remember that when you send money to people you do not know personally or give personal or financial information to unknown callers, you increase your chances of becoming a victim of telemarketing fraud.
