Type of a scam Government Grant
This was a "messenger" email about a grant from our caller’s "friend". The message said "Have you heard of the attorney, Eric Holder, before? He is the one that helped me to claim the grant. Text him at the above phone # 304-627-1852 and use my name. Caller didn’t confirm this message separately with her friend. A sliding scale for the grant was messaged; i.e. $8500 for a $600,000 grant. She "talked" back and forth w/her "friend".
Found in the message was "*** * ***" using messenger w/o facebook. Using a phone number from United States account was recently created".
