Type of a scam Government Grant
I received a "Hello" from a friend on Facebook messenger on July 1, 2019. I responded by wishing Happy 4th of July. He asked me if I have received the good news about a grant given by the US government for healthcare. I told him that such elp should only be for needy people. A this stage I suspected something was not right about this conversation. So to continue the chat I asked him how can I get information about the grant. He then sent me a phone number 213-295-6515 to text. I did not text. He asked me the next day if I have texted. I said that my message came back. He then sent me a link with a URL and photograph attached and asked me to click on the URL to connect. I did not but told him that the URL did not work. I wrote to my friend who was being impersonated to change her password and I changed mine too. I also reported the matter to Facebook.
