Type of a scam Government Grant
Friend’s messenger account was hacked, thought I was talking to her, and her photo was showing on account. Received information and.text number to check to see if I maybe eligible for a $50000 Grant. The person told me that my friend had just received her Grant and wanted to share this great opportunity. I contacted the person’s text and sure enough I was eligible. Paid fees through monogram and western union. Then the grant continued to climb to $500000 with more fees. Then Discover and AT&T became.problems. Then.promised $20000 bonus Grant to fix the Discover and AT&T problems, but never received the bonus. Recently talked to my friend and she had closed her messenger acct in Jan and this is when I discovered I was spammed. What a mess and heart brake.
