Victim Location 26101
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes
A woman has been contacting me via text message for the past three days. She said that she was an employee at the Facebook HQ, and that I was one of the 12 lucky winners that won $500,000. She has been trying to get me to go to Walmart and purchase an Amazon $50 gift card. It started out with trying to get me to pay a $350 delivery fee to FedEx. Even went as far as to say that the FBI knew about it, and was involved. I told her that I really did not have the $50 to do it, because I have two kids to take care of. Then she tried to get at least $150usd. Said I could get the loan from a friend or family member. I could pay them back when I got my winnings delivered in 24 hours after I sent her a pic of the gift card and receipt. After I got my winnings, she would give me instructions on how to pay her back the rest of the $350 fee she paid for me. Said that the gift card was to activate my winnings. Even went as far as to send me pics of other winners, a pic of a winning code, and a box of money. Saying that was what was going to be delivered to me by FedEx.
