Expert Opinion
These calls are clearly a grant‑scam scheme targeting vulnerable individuals. Callers masquerade as federal agents offering money, then pressure for personal data or fees. Block the number, report it to the FTC and your phone carrier, and never share SSNs or credit‑card info. If a call seems too good to be true, hang up and verify through official government websites. Using a call‑blocking app and enrolling in the National Do Not Call Registry can reduce repeat harassment.
