They indicated how they just received financial help and that I should contact an "Agent Allan Grayson," who apparently created a fictitious Facebook page. Its page appears as a government organization; 323-844-3019, and is located in Washington, DC. Email: [email protected] (Agent Allan Grayson) of the Community Financial Enterprise Funds (CFEF).
My "friend," Candas Ifama Barnes, is an associate, who has never contacted me on social media nor otherwise. "She" instructed me to text him and to keep her posted. Suspicious, I requested to phone her. She was conveniently unavailable but continued to respond to my texted questions. I played along. This Allan Grayson person immediately responded to me through Facebook's Instant Messaging platform, and texted the application.
With my texted questions to her, she assured me it was safe and urged me to complete the form. Of course, I didn't but instead, I Googled the company, whose results at the time offered nothing more than options for related queries. Currently, the web address appears as: https://5d26162ebb399.site123.me/.
When I asked her to voice verify, she became defensive, accusing me of not trusting her, further stating she wanted only the best for me and my family. She continued to shame me for not trusting her, and further instructed that if she confirmed our mutual friend, that I should then let it go and complete the form. I suppose she never located my Facebook friend to confirm her identity.
I am reporting this contact today, because she reached out to me again last evening, 1/13/23. Using the same tactic, she asked if I ever contacted the gentleman. When I requested that she confirm our mutual friend, she admitted she finally she didnt know. (She should have known this detail because she introduced us).
Once I told her that I was not entirely certain that she was who she claimed to be, careful not to divulge her mistakes, I finally concluded that I knew my friend's page was hacked. The contact ceased at that point.
Clues: Govt agents probably don't have Facebook pages, don't conduct business via texts, nor refer to themselves as Agent Joe Blow. Once I located the website and looked for the authenticity clues on the page: the privacy lock and (legitimate) company name in the address field, privacy notice and legal links at the bottom.
What was amusing was the advertisement for the free website creator they used!!! It appeared at the page's bottom and in the address bar!!!
Facebook needs to do a better job policing the scammers.
