I received a message through messenger from facebook. This person was using my Aunt’s account, including a picture of my late uncle. I found it weird initially when my aunt said she had "good news", I thought that’s really weird as my uncle passed away about 2 months ago and therefore I proceeded to question what the good news was about? this person then stated that "her life has changed for the better", I found that hard to believe considering my uncle recently passed and my aunt is not in a good place. This person then told me that I should click on a link for BFAG and they sent her $150,000, I said why would they do that? She said she didn’t know but she didn’t have to pay it back and I should go for it and fill out the application. I found it weird so I googled BFAG and see it is a scam on facebook. I contacted my aunt via her landline as this profile was showing up but it didn’t make any sense. My aunt told me that her facebook was hacked. I still have the message and not sure where else I can report this. This is terrible and lucky I am aware of scams and question these things, but there are people who will not question this because it shows it is coming from a friend or relative on facebook.

The scammer contacted me using messenger, under a friends name and photo! Told me I’d receive money if I sent x amount of dollars via amazon gift card. My "friend" was telling me how it was for real, and I would get x amount of dollars if I did it. Well, then they wanted thousands for me to receive over 100,000. Needless to say they scammed me the 1st time, but not the second one. This was suppose to be the US government to help senior citizens. I was threatened .

They hacked a photo of a family member, pretending to chat and trying to share the information about this BFAG, a fake government grant program. The giveaway is both that the family photo will says that you you and this supposedly family are NOT connected, but in fact you know you are. Also, the responses from your pretended family member are not what your person would normally say, like “…doing pretty good, enjoying the moment of life. Have you heard the good news about (BFAG)?

this is one of the messages sent to me on messenger:
Text the Agent Austin William on this text number (402) 749-2921 and let him know that you heard about the (BFAG) winnings and you are ready to claim yours too.

A friend asked how I was doing by text, and I didn’t notice for several days. When I responded, early yesterday am, he answered. Texted he saw my name on a list from BFAG (geared for the elderly, or disabled), and we texted back and forth a little. He gave me a number to contact. He then continued to interact with me while this other person texted. The said I was a winner but wanted my name, address, mother’s middle name, salary, and number. I gave a couple of the basic answers, but said I was not comfortable giving my salary or number via text. I would like to talk to you and receive and email. I was told that wasn’t how this worked. My friend insisted this is a trustworthy thing. After more questions he said he was given a check from fed ex for a large amount of money within four hours.
Now I’m even more alarmed….told the person on the text I couldn’t deal with this until Monday. They of course contacted me in the afternoon when I didn’t respond further. Is this real or fake?
