Type of a scam Government Grant
I had been using Facebook Messenger carrying on a conversation with who I thought was a family aquaintance. She asked me if I had heard of this organization from which she had received $80,000.00 grant. She insisted that I try it. So, I did. I called the number she gave me. I hung up but, they immediately started texting me. They said that I qualified for one of their grants, after I gave them my name, **. Then they asked me to fill out a form which wanted information such as my address and they wanted a copy of my driver’s license picture and some other types of information. At that point, I realized that this was a scam and got out of Facebook Messenger and deleted the phone number and conversation from my phone. I would give you the number and exact name of the, what I believe to be fictitious, organization. I do know that the middle word was Protestant.
