Has anyone received a call from this number? Got a call last night from "Gary Brown" stating I was entitled for a $9000 federal grant. This is offered to 1500 people in my area that pay taxes and haven't declared bankruptcy ever. He kept saying that this is free from the US government and I don't have to pay it back. I just had to verify my phone number and address. I've had scam calls before, but this was a new one. He had an Indian / British accent. No thanks Gary.

800100100 might be a VBA run-time error. I would check to see if your .NET framework is up to date.

That's only 9 digits.

Gary's a good friend of mine. This is legit. There is just a $1000 application fee that gets reimbursed at the time of payment. I'll pm you the drop location. A stack of unmarked $20s is the preferred method of payment.

Meh, I get these kinds of awesome offer opportunities on a daily basis. I am special don't ya know!

Actually I get SO MANY of this ******* calls that even a legit one on my recorder gets lumped into scam. Had a phone message from Visa on Monday that I thought was a scam. Called the 800 number on my card to be sure and found, nope, legit, my card had been fraud charges and the call was from Visa. They had put a stop on it already with the first fraud charge that morning and were blocking the others..

Lulz, I got the alleged IRS one from Steve Martin with an Indian accent. That's some comedy.

It looked strange getting a call from a 9 digit number. Maybe I'll call back today and see if the offer is still good

As someone who works in the telecommunications industry, you would not believe how simple it is to fake a callerID. There are almost zero sanity checks. I could just as likely call you with a callerID of "Bite Me"

Dude you have GOT to tell us how to do this. I'd love to call some people with the callerID "Suck it Trebek."
