Scammer contacted me through a former associate of mine through Messenger. Associate told me that she had received an FGC grant of 50,000.00. She gave me contact information and I texted person called Amanda Wallace who told me that grants could be used for business expenses, pay off bills, or college loans…
I went along and sent my name email, phone but no financial information. She told me the next day, today 3/2/20 they board was deciding and later texted me to say I was approved for 55,000.00. The next part was I had to send 500.00 for fees such as shipping through UPS plus other items. My associate was messenging me all the time to see the progress, she even congratulated me and told me I got off cheap for She had to pay 1000.00 for fees. This was all a scam. I contacted my associate to let her know that her FB account may had been hacked. She had no idea and never contacted me about money. I received nothing for I’m not sending any money.
