Type of a scam Family/Friend Emergency

Recently I received some messages via Facebook Messenger from someone pretending to be one of my relatives. This person was telling me about some monetary grant from the Community Financial Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and in order to be eligible, I would have to give them my full name, click on a link to an agent via Facebook, and pay a $500 delivery fee. This same person also said that when I received the money, I wouldn't have to pay it back. I believe it's a scam.

Caller said they were a granddaughter and needed help because they were driving a drunk friend home and hit another person. Call dropped before they said what type of help they needed. Caller called back and picked up where they left off but the call dropped again. Caller never called back thank goodness because my family member truly thought it was their granddaughter and would have sent money or whatever the caller asked for.

They posed as a person I knew a few years ago, offering to help navigate crypto currency. They talked me into buying 2000 worth, when the profit was high they told me I had to pay 3600 to get my profits out. When asked any questions they got defensive. When I tried to see if I could wait to cash out to get the funds they canceled my account and said I would have to pay another 2000 to get another account.

Reported receiving calls from this number.

Saturday 10/29/16 at 9:30amCST my Dad received a phone call call saying that Kyle was in a car accident and that he need to call 515-421-9058 because Kyle needed $900.00 bail money to get out of jail. My Dad called that number and spoke to “Kyle” (which wasn’t his grandson actually named Kyle) and he said that he had a broken nose and that he was in a car accident and that the lady in the other car was pregnant and was taken to the hospital. Then they put another person on the phone who said they were “Police Officer” (which wasn’t true) and said that “Kyle” needed $900.00 bail money and that the money would be returned. My Dad hung up the phone and did not give out his information. Please inform the new's media as my research on the Internet is showing this type of scam is spreading especially to the elderly...Thanks.
