Victim Location 36701
Type of a scam Government Grant
The scammer used a fake profile of someone I know and contacted me with a text messenger and told me about a "Federal Government Monetary Grant Award 2018 Commission," and asked me if I got mine. I asked what was it and they proceeded to tell me it was money used to pay bills, go to school, open a business, or buy a home. They texted about paying a $600.00 clearance fee and get $30,000.00 within 24 hours and its money that you don’t have to pay back. They asked if I wanted Attorney Gabriel private phone number and I said yes,. They then told me to message him and I told them that I couldn’t at the time but I will do it the next day. I knew it was a scam so I started asking about their twin granddaughters, and I asked them were they going to attend the surprise birthday party for a fake person that I made up and they said that they were not sure if they were going or not. I then texted them back "Thank you for the information and the telephone number . I will make sure that I give it to the FBI and ScamPulse.com to make sure that it is legit because the are too many scammers out here. At after they read that they blocked me immediately.
