Type of a scam Government Grant

I was contacted by a friend on messenger. She said that I should check with Agent David Lucas, at the DHHS, about a grant that I might qualify for. I contacted him and was told I qualified for at least $160,000. I filled out all his questions and even showed my credit card. Then was told I had to go to Walmart and but 5 $500 gift cards. That's when it hit me it was a scam. The gift cards were to cover a delivery fee. They are hacking into Facebook accounts and sending messages to their friend lists. I had to cancel my credit card.

To Whom It May Concern:

Beginning on 5/16/22, I was given a website link for Agent Sandra *******, Government organization, posing as a representative of Department of Health Human Services (DHHS) assisting citizens in applying for grants/monetary aid.

https://m.facebook.com/Agent-sandra-Bulloc*****************/

Agent ******k asked for information; name, address, D.O.B, cell no. occupation, rent or own, gender and salary. She claimed to have verified the information and submitted the form. She let me know verification was successful. Informed me the winning money was $200,000 and that I would have to pay $5000.00 to claim it, but said because what happened recently with another Agent Smith ******, I would have to pay $3000.00. She claimed paperwork had been signed. I replied that I didn’t have that kind of money, I did come up with the fee. I sent the $3000 in increments of $500.00 Apple gift cards on 5/17/22. They were photographed and sent via face book messenger. Sandra informed me about three hours later that she was only able to verify $1000.00 of the $3000.00. Apple cards were sent again in increments of $500.00 totaling $2000.00. Told by Sandra not to get Apple, but American Express gift cards, paid on 5/20/22. Sandra Bullock, then claims to be trying to contact me via my cell phone but it wasn’t going through, didn’t happen. She claims that the drivers were on their way, which wasn’t true. Says that escorts had to be provided, then changes story to no escorts available, delivery will have to be next day. On 5/21/22 Sandra claims that escorts wanted $2500.00 to deliver the money, I replied, don’t have the money. Then I needed to come up with $1000.00 for escort they would pay the rest. 5/22/22 no delivery made. June 02/22 delivery was supposed to have been made, drivers couldn’t make it because traffic was terrible. She contacts me via messenger on 6/05/22, I know you have your winning money by now. I responded no, she replied, “you have to be kidding.” Delivery was supposed to have been made again on 6/17/22, but I was never informed about it. These deliveries that were taking place, Sandra claims I wasn’t home. I did make myself available when told there would be a delivery.

Received message from my friend through Facebook messenger. She received $50k from the government and she said I could too. Asked to call her and she said she could not speak because she had throat surgery but she could call her at 586-315-5441. This is not her number. Gave me information to speak to DHHS and spoke to agent Al Peterson. He gave me options and said that I could get $50,000 grant but had to pay $500. Said I had to talk with husband. Never called back after speaking to ***.

Government Grant

I get these messages all the time and I don't ever apply for government grants or anything they say they are giving away free cause nothing in this world is free especially $20,000 you don't have to pay back with everything the way it's going right now our government is on a budget and if a grant that high say it was legit it's going to go to someone who actually qualifies for the grant so for example if you need help cause your Disabled and about to be homeless and you apply for the government grant and you were approved that's because you qualified cause you have a disability about to be homeless or both I don't trust these messages I get sent to me on Messenger off Messenger on other media's even my email message I ask them to show me proof I still don't apply or fall for it please don't fall for it either you guys I asked my friend what did you get with your 20,000 his answer was he responded back texting in a godly manner I spoke to him 2 days ago and we been friends for 8 years and never once has he talked in a godly manner he's always cussing so really know your friends if you know how they talk you will know if it's a scam or not and this is a scam

Got a message from a Facebook friend about how they applied for this DHHS grant and qualified for 8k. I messaged the number he provided and answered a few questions name, email, occupation,etc. Immediately they said I qualified for 40k and all I had to do was send them $500 gift card to process / deliver the check.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I’ve received a message from one of my friends on Facebook. I went to check it out and it was a link. I really thought it was real so I checked it out and they said they would help me with school. I don’t know how but supposedly friend convinced me. I bought 11 Apple Cards all in different days and with different money amounts. Everyday for a about a week they would ask for payments and I feel like it just wasn’t me I don’t know what happened. Once I realized my friend was hacked and it wasn’t her. I panicked and called 911 and the bank. They said they would get back to me but no one helped me. I’m very worried because that money were my savings from school. I HOPE THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN TO NO ONE ELSE. BE CAREFUL WITH FAKE AND FALSE INFORMATION.

Type of a scam COVID-19

The scam comes by a Facebook “friend”… the account has been hijacked to appear to be one of your trusted friend. Using the name as “Mark Patrick” as the agent for DHHS. It claims that you can apply for the grant by this link and give your birthday, email address, and phone number. It looks really real and they almost got me- they have my birthday and email address. This is not real! It is a scam and you are trusting because you probably could use the money. The scam says pay a delivery fee from FedEx and receive you check. SCAM. SCAM. SCAM!!!!

DHHS is a legitimate government agency. Going to this website looked official. You put in your information and towards the end they tell you that you are approved for $20,000.00 and to text a number to Brett Giroir and give a phone number and he will complete your application.

At this point I suspected fraud and was sorry I had given so much information. People are taking advantage of the desperation others in a desperate time.

Type of a scam Government Grant

I just recently started using FACEBOOK. A very kind and honest friend from work started interacting with me. He told me he had just won a grant and that I should apply. He had a lady that would as I

Understood help me fill out a request for a grant. Not believing him at first I accused him of pulling my leg. Long story short I gave the lady all my data age, address, income,and a picture of my driver's license.

I feel like an [censored] but my friend whose Facebook account was used is someone I trust and like very much. I didn't give them any money nor was I asked to but I gave them way to much information. One thing to look for is their grammar after awhile of interacting with them as my friend the grammar got worse and worse. At first I thought it just my friends verbiage but the more I pushed it the worse they got. But it was too late by then I gave them enough information to probably sell. They didn't ask for any processing fees and being suspicious I didn't open any links sent to me. I do feel like an [censored] for not realizing it was a scam right away. Now I know hope it`s not too late.

I received a Facebook Messenger from DHHS.Department of Housing. Offering a $50,000 Government Grant. $1200 fee for a $20,000 grant. Their phone number is 641-715-7587. I did not send any money. I know it is a scam. The Government does not ask for money.
