I got a call from a lady named Catherine Carpenter who said people have been trying to reach me to give me a $9000 grant. If I sent $200 in google play cards from Walmart then I would receive my tracking number and the grant would be sent to me. She said the faster I sent the money the faster the grant would come. She kept giving me a ton of information about it but when I called ScamPulse.com they said that was just a distraction to make me think it was a legit grant.

While messaging a person on Messenger I was asked if I had received a call from Federal Government Department of Workers Compensation Appeals Board. She said she paid for case file fees and delivery fees , they have so many options, I would need to choose one. I paid $1000 and received $15,000. I should text the agent and he will let me know more about this. I was to let him know a friend told me about this. And she said "it ain’t a scam and it is for real". ‘It’s like a compensation fund. Have you heard from them" ‘Have you been contacted by the WCAB?"
