Scams 52 year old man

My father who lost his leg this year and is now on disability was happy to hear he could have 100,000. He spent the majority of his disability check and barrowed $1300 from me- single mother- to send out for this money only to be told the AC in the FedEx truck isn't working so had delayed delivery...the world is so broken to take advantage of someone like this.

Type of a scam Government Grant

Received a Facebook message from an acquaintance from high school. She asked if I had been in contact with Cash Explosion Grant Award. She said she knew it was legitimate as bank said was real money and cashier said had had another winner so aware it was a government incentive. Gave me the phone number and encouraged me to call, as she noticed my name on the list of winners the money delivier had. I was skeptical, but knew this person would be honest. Had numerous texts back and forth with a Morris Malani with Cash Explosion. Finally, Morris said I needed to get $550 in Amazon gift cards and send him a picture of same with receipts for. Thought gift cards were a red flag, so contacted this high school acquaintance confirmed yes she did the same thing and she received her cash about an hr later. I still wasn't sure, so said I wanted to sleep on it. Got another message from this acquantance again assuring it was legitimate. So Sunday morning went and got the gift cards and sent the pictures of to Morris. His response was he had to confirm them and then the money would be delivered to me by FedEx within 5 hours as I did not want to give him my bank account number for direct deposit. He assured me the cash would come out of the company's Capital One Bank Account. Continued to get messages from the acquaintance encouraging me to follow through even though some details seemed a little questionable. By this time it was Sunday evening, and would be too late for dispatch agent deliverfollowy, but assured I would get the money 1st thing in the morning. Monday morning, I had not seen anyone by 1030 and sent a text to Morris.. Received a text back saying he had checked and delivery was enroute. Then I got a text from him at 3:43 stating that the dispatch agents were stopped by customs so would be a delay. I respoded stating this must be foreign money, Morris responded yes it was, but assured me it was a governmental program. Told him there were too many conflicting statements from him. Of course, was told I just didn't understand. Another text from Morris stating Customs required me to pay a $1450 fine before would release the agents. At that point I knew I had been scammed as knew that is not how Customs works. All this time was getting numerous messages from the high school acquaintance asking if I got the money yet and encouraging me to follow through as was legitimate. I didn't send the $1450 and Morris apologized for my for my lack of understanding and offered to refund my $550. I know I will never see it. At that time I was certain that Morris or one of his partners had hacked this acquaintance's Facebook account and were pretending to be her to encourage me to follow through. I did tell both that I would be reporting them to the appropriate entities. And was again assured they would be refunding my $550. I changed my Facebook password and contacted the high school acquaintance and told her what had happened so she could change her password. He did have my first and last name, full address, phone number and date of birth.
