Taking my money with out my consent out my bank account hell no that's my money and I want it back
She said her name was Woodall Diane and wanted my full name to see if I was on data base list for being a winner for federal government grant.I asked several times to give a site information or something so I see for myself if any of this was true or not and they went on about getting to fill out information on the text they were requesting. Examples were mothers maiden name, annual income etc. They sent me a pic of some woman. I tried calling the number and it just rang until some kind of voicemail came on stating that the text subscriber you are requesting is not available to leave name and number

Got a call from Office of Inspector General, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) . The caller said I have been investigated for immigration violations and I can avoid deportation by paying a fine. The man had Indian accent. He told me to speak to a superior who also was an Indian man. I said this sounded like a scam and I would call DHS directly, he hung up!
