I posted about needing help to care for my mom- she contacted me saying that they give government grants to help people. FFR or something like that. She has a copy of my id. Jamie Adams. I asked questions and her spelling and wording was off and then said she worked with state fbi and everyone knows that’s federal. Plus agent was spelled wrong. Another person Hector contacted me about her first then sent me the link. His profile disappeared so then I knew but it was too late- she/it/ they has my personal information. They sent videos of people who don’t speak English saying and holding up checks they received from all different banks. I feel so dumb. I have copies of conversation. There’s no profile attached to it.

I was told by the Scammer that I would get $30,000 in Government Grant money, but the catch was I must pay $500 first before I could get the $30,000 , once I paid the $500 they said I'm demanded to pay them $300 for another bull crap fee and when I paid that fee they demanded me to pay $800 for another bull crap fee , and it went on and on with the same thing until I caught on to there Scam, I told them to Refund my money and they Demanded me to pay another $300 fee just to refund my money which them never did. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM. I want my $1650.

A friend from 1970 messaged me on Messenger and wanted me to apply for a grant and such. I went to the link he gave me and talked with someone who said he was an attorney who was helping people to get government programs for free money but I had to pay them $500 to have the money sent to me. The thing is the two guys were double teaming me. That is when I told them I had no money and Was a lower class citizen I then stopped all contact

I received a FB IM message from my niece. She said it's a legit govt loan from International Development. She told me she got a grant from the Federal Gvt directly deposited into her checking account. She told me to go to their FB. They asked me to pay $2000 to get $50,000. He said he was a good Christian and would not lie. He said once he gets the money, he will FedEx it to me, or direct deposit it to me. He wants a gift card.

A friend sent me an instant Messager asking me about this NSF program. And how I can benefit from this program. Because she benefited and she said it wasn't a loan. She had an Agent Michael Donald contact me., who was supposed to work for NSF program - National Science Foundation. She said she got a grant for $150,000. All I needed to do was send him the information he needed to verify if I was eligible. Information he asked for was: name, address, age, occupation, email, phone, M/F?, monthly income, zip code, phone carrier and if you own or rent a house. After he acknowledged he received this information, I realized this was a scam - I immediately blocked his messages and the friend's hacked facebook page.

A friend that hasnt talked to me in years messaged me( on facebook messenger) out of the blue about being on a winners list for grant money. Told me to go to the link she sent. That it was a really good oppertunity. They were going to fedex 50,000 to me. Even sent a pic of a woman putting money in a box. Finaly he to got the pay out of thw scam and asked a $500 gift card to send to them for fees and such. Even told me to calm down when i started pointing out some of the flaws and asked for proof of it being legit. That they "are not trying to make people _saw_(thats how he spelled it) but trying to make people smile." His profile only had 10 follows and likes. And there was another profile pretty much the same and that one had more than 10 k followers and likes. One had very little , the other had lots of posts and comments and picture. The fake one was the one the link sent me to. The messages from the friend didnt aound right either. Not howshe usually talks.

I called to check on the status of my $100,000 check, I paid the delivery driver to get this check deliver this check.  Then custom security stated that they were having problems with their system.  Then they told me that they could send the check priority mail for $50.00.  So, I all I had was a Visa Gift card and they said that they could use that.  So, when I call now it is saying that the number can not be reached, but my text messages are able to got through.

I received an IM from someone I thought I knew. She told me she applied for money and got it. She took a picture of a gift card and sent it to my phone. She gave me a lists of grant money amounts that I could apply for. I wanted teh $100,000. I began paying them with gift cards, and I am out over $1100. I bought the gift cards at CVS. I did not notice a pad at checkout to sign. The clerk did not say anything either. Several times I I scratched off the security numbers and took pictures of the cards and sent them to them. They told me one of their truck drivers had an accident and he needed more money. Now he says I will get it today if I create a bank account online. I tried to create a a bank account online but the bank don't me not to bother as it was a scam. I have never spoken to them, everything is done through IM. One of them is Scott Angel. Two of the Apple cards I bought at the Cleveland and Oakland Park location were no good. The clerk could scan the card, but the card number inside doesn't match the card. I called CVS and was told because the inside card number and package card number don't match the cards aren't any good. I am homeless.

I thought I had contacted an old friend on Facebook, and while exchanging information she asked if I heard of GAFAmerican. She said that they helped her and if I qualified I could receive some money too. So I followed the link, filled out a questionnaire and was told that I qualified.I could receive the money in a form of a check or cash, which seemed weird to me. I was told I had to pay just for shipping by fed ex via  PayPal or money app or a gift card in the amount of $300. I paid. Later I was told I had to pay IRS the amount of $1500 first for a tax clearance certificate good for 3 years. I was really doubtful by then and started doing some checking. I found out that GAFAmerican doesn’t give money to individuals and does not have an agent named Bryan Smith. I reported this to the police department and blocked Byran from contacting me again.

I was contacted by a woman Debbie flagg Miller on fb. She asked if i heard of the government grants that were being given and said my name was on the list. So i contacted William Barr. Checked it all out. I started sending gift card as payments. I finished paying him. He stated he was in Rhode Island for a week. So after i pd. Him off he was a half hour from my house and contacted me he was pulled over by customs and I need $1000. To get my package out. So i asked him to show me receipt of it. He stated they didn't give him one. But sent me a picture of him inside customs. I didn't believe him because he couldn't produce any paperwork. A month goes by and i started hearing that hes real. Hes been on the news he even showed me an idea. So i started watching videos and believing this was all real and true. Well last week on December 15th a received a check in the mail for $9500. . I asked him if it was from him and he persisted i go put it in the atm right then and there. I told him i would go to teller in am and he was more and more persistent. No teller. Atm only.. so my bf called the bank it came from only to find out it was a fraud check. I was told to send it back to bank. I made report with Ag's office and i had been to make report at warwick police station in September and will be going back to proceed with pictures of fraud check. The police department has never even bothered with this report in September but AG office told me to. Ive reported him on fb as well.

Someone I know said they received money from this company and received money and it was supposed to be apart of a grant program. I received a link through Messenger and reached out to the company. They followed up with me and asked me if I've ever applied for a grant. He walked me through the steps of filling it out on my phone. He asked for my phone number, my address, my name and my birth date. I asked for $30,000 in the grant. He said I would be approved for the grant. He also sent pictures of him putting money inside a box as they parked in front of Chase bank, and also putting the money inside of a FedEx truck. He asked me to purchase a visa gift card for $500 to pay for shipping and handling. I purchased the gift card and shared the information on a card through a picture. The next day he texted me and said I would get the money would be delivered in a few hours to my home. A few hours went by and I didn't receive the money. He then sent me a picture of the FedEx truck being stopped by the police. He also said I had to pay $1,0000 in taxes to the IRS. At this point I realized it was a scam and told him I didn't have that money to pay. I stopped answering texts from him and turned notifications off in Messenger.

The website looks legitimate, as it is from the USPS, however, when clicking on the email notification to check the status of delivery, it is invaild.
