I was sent a message on facebook from someone I thought was my uncle but it wasnt. They told me about a grant and I believed it was my uncle so I bought a gift card for $700 and sent it to them. They are now asking me to send 3 cards with $500. I refused and knew it was a scam

Type of a scam Government Grant

I was messaged by her saying that I qualified for a government grant. She wanted my information to determine if I was able to receive the grant. She then said I did. She asked me to decide how much I wanted to receive. I chose 100,000.00. She then said that I would have to pay 1,000.00 for the UPS driver to bring it to my door within 24 hours. When I told her that was not possible, she said that I had to try and get a razor or visa card for 1,000.00, and send her the screenshot of it so then she could process the grant and send it to me. I did not get the card. She said that I could also pay it with my cheque. I told her that I would not do that. She is continuing to message me asking if I got the money yet. I told her no. She insisted that it was not a scam and that my life would change for the better with the grant. She said that I could also send the money through PayPal. It does not sound legitimate to me. I have not sent any money or purchased any cards to send to her.

What should I do in order to not have her continue to try and send the money. Should I block her? Below I have sent you her profile page.

I hope this helps you to stop her before someone else buys into what she is saying.

Thank you for your time and consideration of my potential scam.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I received a text from Agent Randy Cornell regarding a $30,000 government grant. He asked me to send him $500 -- 2-$200 Amazon cards and 1-$100 Apple. Then I took a picture of the receipt and the cards and send to them.

Now they are asking for $1,500 for taxes.

I received a message in messenger from my cousin asking me if I had seen the government grant information on the news. She stated I should contact them to see if I qualified, so I did. I gave them my city, state, and phone number, but then got suspicious and asked my cousin to tell me the name of our Grandmother, they responded that I should know that information. I immediately called them out on being a scammer and they stopped messaging me. Now, this morning they are texting and calling my phone.

Caller to ScamPulse.com public line (10/17/22, 3:30 PM) described being contacted by an "old friend" on FB Messenger (likely a spoofed profile), telling him they'd received money from a grant program called "Gradient Gives Back" and he should, too. Sent him a link to a bogus Facebook page, unaffiliated with the 'real' foundation in Arden Hills, MN. ScamPulse.com advised caller this is a government grant / imposter scam we hear about frequently, and he should discontinue communications with this entity before they start telling him he needs to send money to claim his "grant," etc.

the person hacks into a person that you know on Facebook and the they will send you a message under them and that is how they get you hooked in for the scam the person hacked my aunts account and told me that this guy helped her with a grant that she didn't have to pay back the persons name is Panetta Leon he seems polite good and friendly until he gives you options of the amount that you choose for the grant then he gets kinda pushy and annoying to make a decision on the amount you would like him to talk to the board of directors is what he says I did send him 400.00 dollars on 2 separate footlocker cards thats when I knew I was being scamed but I kept going to play along to so I could report it so nobody else falls for it like I did but before he asks for gift cards he will ask for you to send the money through PayPal, Zelle, cash app, bitcoin for the delivery fee

My cousin through marriage posted on FB claiming she can help people behind on their rent. I inquire about it and she told me the process and it would cost $200. I was skeptical and told my sister and she told me everyone was doing it. My sister got a check from the government and it was 6K 901 Home program. Found out I could have did it myself, I asked her paperwork regarding my info. And I trusted her because we are family. I started to question if it was legal or not and she got upset and sent my $200 back. Now she is taking my sister check and will not give her her money claiming her cash app is down.

I got a Facebook Messenger message that was supposed to be from a friend of mine. Whoever it was on the other end sent me a link over Messenger that went to https://m.me/dooley.laurie.23. The person here had photographs and other information. That person said he or she was Dooley Laurie and an official representative from DHHS for this program. I was asked for my name, address, and phone number. The implication was I would receive $100,000 by FedEx. They showed photos of people receiving FedEx packages. They showed a couple of photos purporting to be of Dooley Laurie. There was a video of an elderly man claiming he had received the package. The written English was poor. Finally the message said there a $500.00 fee. I contacted the real Marian (she goes to the same church I do.) Over the phone she said she had not texted me. So I disconnected and wrote this up.

I was contacted telling me that I have been picked to receive a government grant of $9,000 dollars that didn't have to be paid back. I was one out of 1,500 a year that they give out every year. I was picked because I haven't filed no bankruptcy, I didn't have no criminal record and things like that. I was to use this grant for only good things like paying off bills, getting my car fixed, moving and things like that. I wasn't to use this grant money for anything illegal. Then he wanted me to stay on the phone while I was to go and get an ebay card and that was to cover all the legal fees for the state to state money transfer and that that grant was coming from the national treasure and the qhole ordeal would take boit 19 mins to complete. The guy name said to be was Leo Foster. He gave me a activation number for this $9,000 grant that he wanted to transfer into my bank account. Well when he said to get a ebay card, I told him that I wasn't falling for that scam and I hung up on him. I'm not sure just how them grants work and all, but surely you don't have to pay money up front to get them do ya? So I just wanted to give a heads up about this one.

Got a message from an account that looked like my friends...same name and picture (but I was not friends with this account). However, the way they talked seemed suspicious and I knew it was a scam when they urged me to click the link for a covid relief grant... and I had to do it immediately or else it wouldn't work. Thank god I didn't fall for it. However, the fake/puppet account is very concerning.
