Claimed my names was on a list for 150,000$ cash. Hacked my uncles fb page to connect with me at 330am… then stopped receiving and attempting to connect when i told the person they were attempting to scam me. Gave me the name mary yates to connect with.
Victim Location 96701
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
Informed that I had won an amount of $150,000 but that I had to pay the tax, insurance, and delivery fee totaling $1050. Fortunately or infortunately, I am on fixed income, living pay day to pay day and cannot pay the fee thus saving me the $1050. Otherwise I might have fallen for the scam. The person I was dealing with identified them self as Mary Yates.She identified her organization as "a government organization in-conjunction with facebook to help the communities and all beneficiaries name chosen randomly through a computer ballot for fans of (PCH) and (DHHS) who surf it frequently… Let me have your full name and e-mail address for confirmation?
