Type of a scam Government Grant
A friend of mine initially contacted me on Facebook messenger. Asking me if i had heard about this free grant from some human service. I said i was not interested and i would do some research on it. This was about a month ago. Then tonight another friend contacted me on messenger and was asking the same thing about the same grant. Urging me to text this number and tell the agent i was interested in this grant. So i looked for the other message from my other friend and they entire conversation was deleted. And a few minutes after i declined second friends request for me to give him my phone number. That entire message was deleted. The english in the second friends messages was off. He would not speak the way these messages were worded. I screenshot the entire conversation between second friend before it was deleted. And saved them. Because i believe this to be a scam. It is the second time someone has urged me to text this number to apply for said grant. Then messages get deleted after i declined.
