Attention Dear Lucky Winner

I am Ms. Gertie Jenkins, a US citizen,63 years Old. I'm one of those

people that took part in receiving Inheritance funds in West Africa many

years ago and they refused to pay me, I paid different fees while in the

United States trying to get my funds from those banks and lottery

organizations but all to no avail.

So I decided to travel to Wright City, Oklahoma with all my compensation

documents, as I was directed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation

Director to contact Mr. Edward J. DAVID, who is a representative of the

INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF),a Human Rights Activist and a member of

the Compensation Award Committee, currently in Wright City, Oklahoma and I

contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever that is

contacting you concerning any type of Winnings, Lottery and Inheritance

Fund is fake, Mr. Edward J.DAVID personally directed me on how to claim my

Inheritance fund.

He directed me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation

payment. Right now I am the happiest woman on earth because I have

received my compensation funds amounting to $7,500,000.00. Moreover, Mr.

Edward J. DAVID showed me the full information of those that are yet to

receive their Compensation payments and those whose inheritance had not

been paid and the list of all outstanding contractors that were owed that

are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email as one of the

beneficiaries on the list he showed me, that is why I decided to email you

to stop dealing with those people all over the internet, they are not with

your funds, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to

contact Mr. Edward J. DAVID. Kindly send your personal details to him to

prove your identification such as below:

Full names:....

Home address:....

current Phone No:....

Occupation:.......

Country:..............

You have to contact him directly on this information below.

Compensation Award Office.

Name : Mr. Edward J. DAVID

Email: [email protected]

You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you

and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with

them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until

you have nothing left. The only money I paid after I met Mr. Edward J.

DAVID was for full LEGAL AFFIDAVIT to support my claim and approval of my

compensation funds release which will enable the transfer of the funds

immediately to your bank account or whichever way you desire to receive

your payment. Take note of that and i will advise you to contact him ASAP

if you wish to receive your fund without any further wasting of time.

Thank You and Be Blessed.

Ms. Gertie Jenkins.

Sarah Bens as a representative of the international monetary fund wanted me to send $1500 to get a grant for $50000 They created a fake Instagram account in a relatives name and after talking to who I thought was a relative I was told to go to a website where they asked me questions to verify my identity and then asked me how much grant money I wanted. I said 50 thousand and when they told me that would cost $1500 I balked. It's a scam. Glad I gave no bank info or card number but they do have a copy of my driver license. They claimed to be someone I knew and trusted and were trying to steal money I need desperately. They should be jailed. They contacted me again today saying they wanted to help me and asked if I had a PayPal account. I'm worried about identity theft now and preying on senior citizens ought to increase their jail time. I'm humiliated and embarrassed and they really had me thinking this was the answer to my prayers.

I was contacted on Facebook messenger out of the blue by a friend on Facebook IM, asking if I got mine yet?

I took the bait, he told me to call 206-338-5844and ask for Paul Robinson the PCH manager, which I did, I and his email was full of spelling errors, so I checked google and ScamPulse.com and realized I’m being scammed and now they won’t leave me alone on Facebook instant Message

I was told by a friend to contact a place called IMF it's called the international monetary fund they told me if I send them $1,000 by 2:30 in the afternoon I would have a check for $25,500. I didn't feel safe that it was legitimate so I'm reporting it and hoping that I can find out something from you if it's real or not real because a friend of mine has gotten a check but she had you invested for three months before she can touch it thank you

This was posted on the actual website for IMF:

Fraudulent Scam Emails Using the Name of the IMF

We would like to bring to the notice of the general public that several variants of financial scam letters purporting to be sanctioned by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or authored by high ranking IMF officials are currently in circulation, and may appear on official letterhead containing the IMF logo. The scam letters instruct potential victims to contact the IMF for issuance of a “Certificate of International Capital Transfer” or other forms of approval, to enable them receives large sums of monies as beneficiaries. The contact e-mail information is always BOGUS and unsuspecting individuals are then requested to send their personal banking details which the scammers utilize for their fraudulent activities.

Contrary to what is stated in these scam e-mails, letters, or phone conversations, the IMF does NOT authorize, verify, monitor, or assist in contract or inheritance payments between third parties and/or Governments, nor does it endorse the activities of any bank, financial institution, or other public or private agency. For purposes of clarification, the IMF is an inter-governmental organization whose transactions and operations are carried out directly with its member countries.

Ph# was 208-505-4333 and the caller's name was Alan Martin and he said her name had been drawn for a grant. If she paid $1000, she received $30,000; if she pays $2000, she gets $50,000 and on up and up! He contacted her on Facebook and she thought it was her friend!!!

She gave him her name, address, ph# and how much Social Security she receives monthly. When she calls the number back, it goes to a voice mail. She is to FedEx the $$$, but she stopped before getting an address to send the $$ to. All communication was by "texting" - no verbal communication.

Andrew Williams says he's from the International Monetary Fund, and your name is on a list, the amount you have to pay is dependent upon the prize you choose, like $2200 for $750,000 to pay taxes and delivery fees upfront in order to claim the prize. You contact him through Messenger. He wants me to go to CVS to buy prepaid cards.

My Facebook friend told me I was eligible for a government grant from the International Monetary Fund. She said she got one adn had already spent some of the money. So I texted Mary Duncan from IMF. The grant was for $100,000. The message is that as soon as I text her back, she will tell me how much I am getting. I called ScamPulse.com and was told my friend's Facebook account had been hacked.

I received a contact on Facebook Messenger today, 9 MAY 2018, supposedly from my cousin's wife. She told me about a grant program and gave me a phone number to text. The phone number 201-530-6964 supposedly belongs to a woman named Christine. She is supposedly Christine Lagarde of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and after taking some basic information like monthly income, name, address, phone number, etc., she informed me that I was qualified for a grant. The "delivery" fee would be $200 for $65,000; $400 for $150,000; $750 for $200,000; $1000 for $250,000; $1500 for $300,000. After paying the delivery fee, within about 4 hours I would receive the cash, not a check, via FedEx, according to "cousin's wife".

The person impersonating my cousin's wife on Facebook Messenger seemed so enthusiastic. When I texted my cousin about this transaction, he told me that his wife's account had been hacked on Facebook about 2 weeks ago. He told me to ignore any communications from this person.

To test this impersonator I asked her to tell me my mother's name, to name any of my brothers and when was the last time she saw me. So far, no response from this person.

While I didn't give this Christine my SSN, I did give her my name and address and monthly income. Christine is supposedly a lawyer. I asked her for an email address and a web site, but no response from Christine. This Christine Lagarde and the person impersonating my cousin's wife could be the same person.

I was contacted through Messenger via my cousins account. This person acted like they were cousin who happens to be deaf. This person told me that she already received a grant from IMF of $50,000. All she had to do was fill out information, tell why she needed grant $ and pay a ‘delivery fee’ of $1050 to Alvin Ray Cushman in West Columbia, SC via Western Union. I was told to contact Bradley Rodriguez at his email address to apply for the grant myself.

They tell you that you have won a grant. Then ask for large amounts of money to deliver your certificate.

Then they continually send you messages that you must comply to collect your grant money. They are relentless.

This is a Facebook scam. Be careful people.

Scammer is as follows:

Alex Gracia

International Monetary Fund

Luckily I did some research into this before falling into the scammers clutches. I also reported them to facebook.

one of my uncle's ex girlfriends messaged me awhile back about a grant from the International Monetary Fund Grant program. She gave me a number to contact, (434)-226-1907. The guy that contacted me back was named, Mark Phillips, the administration in charge of the grant. I gave him some of my information. He told me that I got approved for $10,000 but in order for me to get it, i would have to send him $200 for my delivery feet and tax liability fee. It didn't seem right, so I investigated the account. I seen that my uncle's ex girlfriend had 2 accounts, so I messaged the other account and actually talked to my uncle's ex girlfriend. She said that she didn't send me those messages and that it was a scam. When I confronted the other user, they blocked me before I could reply to their messages.
