I received messages from a high school friend saying she had won a $100,000 grant through SSA, encouraging me to contact them to get the money. She always messages after 10pm.

They indicated they were from the Lake County benefits department and needed to schedule my exam for life insurance at my home for tomorrow. I said I didn’t know what it was about and they indicated it’s because I’m approaching 60. I said I’m not approaching 60, reiterated that I didn’t know what it was about but I’m not interested and hung up. They then proceeded to harass me via text messages.

Scammer played as an imposter to a family friend (Beverly G****) and used their Facebook account to message the victim and solicit money from him by offering him a governmental grant (under the name of National Community Foundation). In order to receive the grant, he would need to send $1,000.00 to Paul Carlos, who then release the grant funds to him. Victim did not want to send the funds via cashapp or by phone, as he was unsure of its validity, so he went to his bank to wire the money and requested confirmation of receipt of payment which the scammer gave. Then the scammer informed him that he would need to send $4,500.00 before grant funds could be released.

First ******** * ***** ******* hit me up on messenger and told me to hit this company up over a donation. I did it and the next person was listed "gradient gives back program ggbp" they asked me for all my information and my Facebook password and username. Then they asked for 500 dollars and I booted them from everything. Now both accounts are arguing with me about why they aren't scammers. This is an AI large language model.

The supposed agent claims that this is a government program giving out money for different things but one has to pay $500-$600 to have a $38,500 dollar check hand delivered to you. The agent claims to be "Agent Mrs. Susan Williams A."

i was looking threw people i may know sugestion from facebook, because my account was hacked over a month ago, the way that happened is they said they were a friend of who is blind. they said that she got a new phone and had to be varified by a friend so they would send a code to me by text. she said she needed it to get her account back. so i gave her the code and the next time i tried to sign in i could not get in. the code i gave her was a code for my account and they got in and changed my pass word, then they were doing the same thing to friends of mine telling them i got a new phone and that i needed the code to get into my account, and then i am sure they did the same thing to them changed the pass word and locked them out. so that is how i new that the people that were texting me were using a counter fit account, so i didn't bite on the scamm, i told them i would call her or have my sister stop by to have a look at the deposit that she was supposed to have gotten. so i turned that account into facebook.

Ok I was referred by a family member Cindy *******( Cindy Muick/ to what was supposed to be a grant for the elderly. I should have know but wasn't expecting the sudden urge to purchase gift cards in the amt of 1000 dollars. Then my grant of 100000 would be delivered by FedEx within 24 hrs. When I sent them copies of the gift card they contacted me by messenger ( mind you she had changed her FB profile) and wasn't able to reach her. The family member who told me to search her on the new profile assured me she would answer me. https://www.facebook.com profile.php?I'd=1000952491796808mibextid=LQQJ4d

A friend of mine recommended me to this guy Bernard Stevens to me on Facebook. I trusted my friend and he told me as a senior I would be eligible for a united way grant. I received Bernard info and I became skeptical when he told me that in order for me to get the grant money I would need to pay money. I decided to call my local ScamPulse.com and was told it was a scam.

The scammer used the name and account of my old friend on messenger in facebook. Said she had gotten large amount of money from the government. Said she had gotten it delivered by Federal Express. She gave me a name to contact through messenger: Andrew Santors. Page show a picture of the man with a United States flag behind him.

He explained that it was a government program. He sent me a list of amounts I could choose from to give the delivery man and depending on the amount I gave I would get a certain amount in the package. For example, If I gave 750.00 I would get 55,000.

I told him I was not interested. He put my friend on messenger encourange me to go ahead and do it. To not miss the chance, that she had gotten a lot of money. At this, her English became very poor. I could tell it was not her writing.

I kept saying no. He offered to send money to my favorite charities. I stopped communicating.

I have saved most of the communication and pictures in his website on my phone.

I haven't talked to my friend, but I will.

Before this friend, another one had contacted me but the contact information was not good enough for me to be able to make contact.

They apparently offered a grant for emergency funds and was "approved" for $5,550. But had to go through a process screening to claim funds for a deposit. But its has been 3 weeks already and no payments. The organization is called Life in Research and Development. The main legit charity group is from Michigan, but this charity that I am conversing with is from Camarillo, CA.

I mistakenly gave my full name and my email address, he asked for my internet provider the ID and password, but I said I didn't have one. The scammer message me back after I gave him my information and he claim that I was approved for the grant but didn't tell me how much. Then he told me I needed to send him 1,000 for the shipping fees, I told him I didn't have it right then so he kept asking other questions like, do I have PayPal. Then he kept asking if I could pay with a Apple card and to purchase one and take a picture of it and send that. He kept pressing on and on how I could send him the money and he needed it right then, and said the grant will expire in 2 days and it would go to a charity. I really got suspicious and stopped answering his questions, this happened on Saturday July 8, 2023. After I said no, I was sorry I couldn't do it, he asked for just 50.00 now and pay on the balance. He messaged me again on Sunday and I wouldn't answer back.

I am receiving texts from Paul Stephen offering me a government grant. He said I could pay $250 and he would pay $250, so that I could get a $5000 grant. He wants me to go to the store and buy an Apple card and give him the code off the back of the card. He told me to text him when I get the card.

This guy sent something through Facebook Messenger, My winning money will be delivered to me by 10am today.  He wanted a picture ID of mine that was clear so they could attach it to a certificate.  I warned him if I could contact the ScamPulse.com on him.  He tells me that this is not a scam and that he is a Christian.  He instructed me to send $500.00 I would get $50,000.  I know this to be a scam.
