Total money lost $315
Type of a scam Government Grant
it all started with the conversation that I thought that I was having with a friend of mine on messenger, and it came down to where she just so happened to tell me about this Grant thing, not in those words, but she gave me a number, I decided to text the number and told him that I was interested I told him what my name was, and he responded back, and he gave me his name, the information, and of where he worked for what he did, so I guess. I followed with what he said only because a friend of mine, who I thought was the person said that, you know, she paid this much, and she would have a certain amount of money that she was approved for delivered to her doorstep. So then I question her about some things, and I asked her if it was real. And she said yes, that it was true. I was shown a big statement that apparently was fake, and I was like, ok, so I went along with it, thinking, ok, you know, this is my friend, I believe, I trust her why would she lie to me? So then it was stated that I needed to pay 500 dollars for delivery and carrier. When I told him that I didn’t have that money. They told me I could come up with 315, so I came up with 315, but because I believe that this was legitimate, then come to find out later on during the evening, as I ask questions. Of where my package was. I was told that I had to pay 750 dollars, because it was sitting at customs, none of this made sense to me, but believing that my friend, this happened to her, and she’s supposedly got her money. I went with it, so now I have 3 different agents here trying to contact me about this money. So just know I made a mistake by believing this. And that was because my friends, messenger, was hacked. Someone took my identification because I believe that it was legitimate that I gave them the information that they needed. Those who are out there who believes in things that there’s money, waiting for them, don’t believe it it’s a scam, I fell for it, and it was the biggest mistake ever. Thanks for listening to my story, and everyone wants proof, if not, I have it in my messages, I have it on a email, thank you again..
