Type of a scam Government Grant
Was falsely contacted by a friend texting she has won $100,000 and it was delivered by FED EX and she seen my name on the list of winners. She then said her lawyer told her not to use or answer her phone because her friends were asking her for money. this was all by text from her to me. she texted me with the phone number 712-248-3458 and said I needed to text that number and tell them she told me to text it as I was on the list of winners so I did. A man saying he was Mark Henderson from Health and Human Services and I was a !00,000 winner available to claim. I had to give my full name, address, marital status, gender, mothers name, occupation,email, and income.He then gave me ref# case number,file number and serial number. He said I would have to pay Tax and clearance number before Fed Ex could bring my money. At this point I was suspecting it was a scam but told him I’d need time to scrape up that amount. I started checking and Fed Ex said they do not deliver cash and never heard of it. the government doesn’t charge fees for grants so I never answered when he texted to see if was ready to proceed. I wish I hadn’t given all the information to him that I did. At least I didn’t give any money
