So I texted back to this agency and asked how I pay them. They instructed me to get $320 in Steam Gift Cards and then send a picture of the card and the scratched off pin number on each card. Then the money would be delivered the next morning.
I went to Walmart to buy the cards, they did not carry Steam cards. Now I was on a mission to see how far this was going to go. I looked up Steam Gift cards, whom, by the way, were very high security and very professional about all of this ultimately. Apparently, for gamers, it's a common way to send monies, buy new games, etc. I purchased the Gift cards online, but the verification process was taking some time. In the meantime, I was getting harrassed constantly by this group by text....."are you sending the information?" "are you still driving or what?", "are you at home now or what?", "have you get it online now?" (exact quotes) on and on and on til into the evening. Also, my aunt kept messengering me asking if I paid the fee, are you getting the money delivered, etc. At 830pm, my aunt writes "Good night, let me know what's going on with them tomorrow morning". I hadn't read her text til 1130pm, and I responded "this is gonna be great, ***, I hope to get the money tomorrow.", just fishing to see what response I would get. AT 2am, my little 88yo auntie wrote back "Sure, if you pay the delivery fee for them". Luckily, I had contacted the support/chat for the Steam cards and asked to cancel my order, they asked me if there was a particular reason, I told them that I was being scammed and the scammers were using their company gift cards as part of the coverup for the fees paid out. They immediately wanted more information and cancelled/refunded our monies.
I am going to contact my aunt by phone today, since messenger is not really her and let her know that she has been hacked. This is so upsetting. I tried to report this scam to Facebook, but there is no clear and easy way to report the scam so I have to keep working at it. If there is anyway to get this info out to others, please do. Any other way, I would have never responded to this group, but at first, I kept thinking "well, if Auntie *** recommended this (and she's an educated career woman from Northwestern University!) then maybe it's okay. THAT IS WHY THIS SCAM IS EVEN SCARIER!!!
